We had a nice day with our guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a good way to hit the highlights of Hue in a single day. We were the only people on the tour which made for a very personal experience. At the market we were brought to a clothing stall that seemed somehow affiliated with the tour and experienced some pushy sales tactics for mediocre-quality merchandise at a high price. Given the amount we paid for this tour, that felt inappropriate and left a bad taste in our mouths. Cut this part of the tour and we would have felt much better.

Our tour with Taun was great! He always had the driver ready for us which was great on a rainy cold day. He took lots of pictures for us and gave us a great tour of his home city. He helped us negotiate during our market tour and was a wealth of historical knowledge of the area.

We loved this tour and had such a great time! Our guide Xi was fantastic: she was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun, spoke great English and was so kind. We were worried about travelling with our 1 year old child but Xi (and our tour mates) were so kind and helpful to her and made it perfectly workable, we needn’t have worried at all. All of the sites we visited on the tour were very interesting and we left with a much better understanding of Vietnamese history and culture. Lunch included various courses of Vietnamese dishes. This was a great tour, don’t hesitate to do it! And you’ll be very lucky if you get Xi as your guide :)
