TSM tours are the very best - TSM tours assisted us with several tours and transfers and were amazing to deal with in every way! Communication was flawless, the cars were clean and modern, drivers were safe, and every guide spoke perfect English!
We started with a private tour of Phong Na, picked up, and returned to Dong Hoi. This incredible area is unmissable!
The next day we had a private driver transfer us from Dong hoi to Hue, with stops along the way at Vinh Moc tunnels and the bridge separating North and South Vietnam for over 20 years, a very touching history tour.
On the same day, I organised TSM tours to collect my friend from Danang airport and transfer her and her daughter to meet us in Hue, which again was flawless.
That evening, lovely Tran took us for a food tour and walked through Hue. As it is her hometown, we were able to experience things in this beautiful city that we would have otherwise missed.
During our one full day in Hue, TSM organised a private driver and guide to take us on a full day tour. We caught a dragon boat up the visit the Buddhist temple, went to the Imperial citadel, learnt a lot about the history of this ancient area. Off for a lovely lunch and visit to incense village prior to transfer back to our hotel.
On the final day in Hue, we used TSM to organise a mini bus for us (4 adults and lots of luggage) to transfer us to Hoian via the Hai van pass. Again, this drive offered us the opportunity of not only extrodinay views, but several stops to see more of this gorgeous country!
At every point TSM tour were communicative, courteous, punctual and best of all every member of their staff were just delighfull!
To top it all off, every transfer and tour was exceptional value! Cannot recommend them highly enough and will definitely use them ourselves when we return to beautiful Vietnam!

Outstanding Service, Local Gems, and Unforgettable Experiences! - We had an incredible tour around Hue, Vietnam, with TSM Tours. Son, our driver, was absolutely fantastic! He was friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive, ensuring every part of our day was enjoyable and stress-free.
One of the highlights was Son taking us to the best local eating spots, including a hidden gem for Banh Mi that only the locals know about. We can confidently say it was the best Banh Mi we’ve had in all of Vietnam—absolutely delicious and unforgettable!
The tour itself was so well-organized, and we got to see so many beautiful and historic sites around Hue. Son went above and beyond, sharing fascinating insights about the culture and history of the region while making sure we were comfortable throughout.
We were so happy with our experience that we immediately booked another tour to Da Nang with Son the very next day. Thank you for a fantastic day and great memories, Son.

Hue emperor tombs, pagoda and Citadel. - We booked a tour in Hue with a private driver, Son. We visited 5 sites - 3 tombs of emperors, a Buddhist pagoda and the Citadel in Hue, spending about 1 hour at each while Son waited in his car. We were never rushed. The tour took 6 hours including hotel pickup and drop-off. Son gave us some history of Vietnam and also an insight into current Vietnamese life. A very pleasant experience with a driver I would highly recommend.

Hue Adventure - My son and I had a wonderful adventure with our guide Danh. We were picked up from our hotel in Da Nang and driven in much needed air-conditioned comfort to Hue. We had many beautiful stops along the way and had plenty of time for gift shopping, photo opportunities and to learn the history of each location. Our favourite locations were Lang Co, Madam Thu 2 restaurant, Thien Mu pagoda, Khai Dinh Tomb and the Incense Village.
We are so grateful for our guide Danh, he made our day so special, thank you.

Beautiful historic Hue - fabulous guide - Our guide, Son, showed us a variety of historic sites including citadels, palaces and tombs which enabled us to have insight into the history of Vietnam. He the took us to various sites with panoramic views of the river. He was extremely helpful, respectful and lots of fun. He made our day even more enjoyable when he took us to a family restaurant and the three of us shared food.

Great day with solid guide - Great day with Son, a very knowledgable driver and guide. Felt like we had known eachother for years. Spoke English well and answered any questions I had about not just Hue, but Vietnam in general. Went to a nice hidden waterfall for a swim and he brought me to try many local dishes. Overall great day and I would recommend TSM Tours to anyone looking to make the most of their stay in Hue!
