Half Day Hue City Tour with Hong

Liam_G, Mar 2024

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our private Hue City tour with our guide Hong; his English was excellent and he was a fountain of knowledge about the Imperial Citadel. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Hue’s fascinating history.

2 excellent half days

Caroline_B, Mar 2024

We did 2 half days- the first day was the tombs and the second was the pagoda and the imperial city. Both guides Phuong and Pearl were excellent and engaging. It was very relaxed with not too many tourists
