Da Nang- Ba Na Hills - An Unforgettable Experience with Our Tour Guide, Rin! Our trip to Đà Nẵng and Bà Nà Hills was our first time using a tour guide, and after this amazing experience, we’ll always make sure to have one for future travels! Rin made our journey truly special. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, sharing fascinating insights into Vietnamese culture and history. What really stood out was how Rin went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable—almost like we were traveling with a friend. He took beautiful photos for us and even managed to get my husband to pose for pictures, which is a rare achievement! His iPhone photography skills are top-notch, capturing memories we’ll cherish forever. While exploring Bà Nà Hills, Rin noticed that my husband loves coffee. On our way back, he made a special stop at a department store and helped us pick out locally roasted Vietnamese coffee beans—a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more personal. To top it all off, as we arrived at our hotel, he sang us a song, ending the day on such a warm and memorable note. If you’re visiting Vietnam and looking for a dedicated, fun, and truly exceptional guide, we highly recommend Rin. He made our trip so special, and we can’t wait to explore more places with his guidance in the future!

Great Day in Hue! - My Fiancé and I had a wonderful trip to see the sights of Hue with our guide Rin. We were picked up from the hotel and taken to see some interesting local craftsman and beautiful views on the way to Hue. The Imperial Citadel itself was beautiful and Rin was very knowledgeable. He clearly has a love of history and pride in his country. All around a great day and both the guide and the driver were polite, accommodating and made it a great experience

A good day in Hue. - It was a very hot and humid day and the members of our group are all in their 70s so we found it quite tiring at times. However, our guide, Rin, was very attentive and found plenty of shady spots to sit. He also spent time waving a fan in our direction to keep us cool. The tour itself was very interesting and spectacular in parts. Rin is very knowledgeable and made the day one to remember.
