Traveler reviews
Exactly what I wanted 👌❤️🇻🇳
tl;dr - for the nomads, if you only have one day and you are debating, just do it. It’s a good taster of Hue and you get to learn about Vietnam. Full Review- After travelling around Vietnam for a few weeks now I felt that I needed to learn more about the Vietnamese people and their history. So although I usually steer clear of tours, after reading the good reviews I decided to give it a go. And I’m very satisfied. We went through the Hai Van Pass that I wanted to see and stopped to take photos. We went through the famous Japanese Tunnel. And we saw the Imperial city, the perfume river, the most famous Pagoda and the Emperor’s tomb. Essentially ticking all the boxes for a Hue taster in one day. The journey was comfortable with cold water provided and a small group in a minivan. The highlight of the tour was our guide, Van. It’s not the standard information about the history of the palace that was necessarily what made the experience more special. But rather the fun facts that Van knew to mention along the way about Hue, its resources, how people live there, the differences between different people in Vietnam and some of their beliefs. I now feel that I know the country I am travelling in a lot better. Van knew exactly what each person in the group needed; whether friendly banter, giving travel tips, answering questions, or, of course, even doing full photoshoots for us. I think she was able to keep every person in our group well looked after. And that is something not every tour guide has the intuition to do! I wish the rest of my tours I’ve taken in my life were this well organised.
thank you
Van, that's good! The time allocation was appropriate too! Thank you
Incredible trip with Van
We really enjoyed this trip with Van. It was incredible astonishing time, cool mood and beautiful places. Van is so open minded, fancy and funny person. Her English is very good, storytelling skills are amazing. Thanks a lot from Yerkanat and Shakhida ( Astana, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿)
