Rejuvenating trip with good friend. - This is my third trip to Vietnam but the first time to Danang, Hue and Hoi An. My friend and I went in February which is a little more expensive due to Chinese New Year period.
Cat pooped coffee is nothing usual, but what the heck! Candle-lit river is a good walk, lots of restaurants and shops. We also took a walk, about 2 hours, in the day time, which is just as nice. We had a fantastic time on the coconut boat; there was a boat race, singing contest, pay another USD10-15 for the driver to spin the boat.
Near the Dragon bridge, there's a night market selling lots of seafood. Most of the cockles, oysters, clams etc is 2 dollar a small plate but my prize goes to the lobster: USD20 for a 1 kg lobster. We had it for 2 nights. If you're in Asia, you might consider this part of Vietnam. We paid USD680 inclusive of 3 star accommodation (very nice), breakfast, lunch, a driver and tour guide.

Fabulous day in Hue - Our guide and driver were both really good. Our guide Ray’s knowledge of each place we went to was excellent and made the trip so much better. The Imperial Citadel was very impressive as was the emperor’s tomb. It was a long day travelling from Hoi An but we’re very glad we did the trip. It was really worthwhile

Huey City is an unmissable experience! - We had a memorable visit to the ancient city earlier this week.
Everything went to plan. The tour operator was punctual, the vehicle was good and we were looked after very well.
Mian, our guide, was very attentive and caring. She was well informed and gave us a lot of background information on all the locations we visited. We were given sufficient time to look around after Mian made the introduction. She also kept the group engaged with little quizzes and humorous tidbits.
Lunch was excellent too.
All in all, we had an enjoyable day experiencing a slice of Vietnamese history.

Great for your first time to Hue city! Fascinating history! - Very professional. The tour guide was in contact with us the day before to confirm pick up time and was on time! All the stops were all on time, and the vehicle transporting us was clean and spotless. Water was provided throughout the trip. Lunch was provided (which was very good), and we felt overall satisfied!
Our tour guide was An and he was truly a delight.
Please note it is an all-day tour so it started early from 7.50am - 8pm. It’s a full day, door-to-door. So families with young families - this may be a major stretch.
We went with our 5 year old and she was definitely tired towards the end due to the heat and the length of the tour.

Going back in time with Vietnam’s history - The Hue city tour was a terrific day trip from Da Nang. Our tour guide, Ray, was great at communicating the information regarding the various sites we were seeing. Exploring the citadel along with the tomb of Khai Dinh were the highlights of the tour. Thank you Ray for a wonderful tour of Hue!

Long day but interesting for history buffs! - A very long day (c12hrs) if you are staying in Hoi An. Guide was good, minibus was a bit tight and uncomfortable given the length of the day. I found the bus hadn’t been cleaned from the last trip (empty bottles left and wrappers left). Couple of the stops felt a bit pointless. However the trips to the temple and imperial city were good if you like your history of all things old. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Given the length of the day and lack of space of the bus, I probably wouldn’t recommend this to a friend unless they really wanted to see the imperial city.

Go for the lunch - Tom and Jerry (driver) were great. Tom was a local born and raised in Hue, so was very generous with local tit bits as well as our tour places we visited. It was a big day. We were staying in Hoi An so early start. But if limited on time this is certainly worth it. Lunch was amazing 8 courses. That in itself was worth the tour.
