Great trip with David - Great trip with David from Hue to Hoi An. I felt very safe. David was a lovely driver, very informative and patient, and happy to wait for me to move through the journey in my own time. I also was able to arrange to visit the Royal Tombs on route for a small extra fee - I really appreciated the flexibility!

When the transfer becomes a good travel - the driver Quang is punctual and patient. he does not take any risk while driving and he is very effective on the road and in the mountains. we stopped as planned in very nice places like the Van Hai pass, the dragon bridge, etc…. we had all the information in English and comments about the regions and the centres of interest along the way. he only honks when necessary. the family was able to rest (he spoke softly while driving to respect sleeping passengers). A bottle of water was given per person. The trip was a great day!

A Five Star Trip from Hue to Hoi An 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - We had the most fantastic day travelling from Hue to Hoi An with Gon! A beautiful luxurious car with excellent AC Gon showed us great sights stopping along the way at Lang Co beach, and top photo stops on Van Pass. We stopped for lunch in Da Nang and then visited Marble Mountain. Gon was very friendly and also so informative with excellent English. Gon even surprised us with icy cold beers and water for our trip. Would highly recommend Gon and this driving trip to Hoi An from Hue 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
