very good tour, well organized, timely pickup, guide willing to give info, fair price and time allocated to the sites during the day , great lunch and some of the iconic places to visit in Vietnam. The French village is absolutely unexpected, like a Dysney fun park right on top of the hill! Astonishingly built, like being in an European city located in Vietnam. Overall really worth of booking. The comment below does not pertain to the tour itself: Vietnam is really a very nice, safe and effortable destination, with pleanty of things I've been absolutly happy with (from the North to the South); the people just need to be more aware and conscious of plastic usage, reducing it and keeping beaches and some places more cleaned.

I am so glad that we booked this tour - Nhung was a great tour guide, she was very helpful and informative as well as answering all questions we had. The tour itself was a good pace and we really enjoyed seeing Hue and the historical sights. Nhung had lots of interesting information to give us. We were very tired because we didn’t sleep well, so sorry that we couldn’t be more talkative! But we loved listening :) Everything was on time and the driver was also very kind and helpful. I would recommend anyone to go on this tour to Hue. Thanks Nhung!

The tour was good, only part I didn't like was when they take you to the stone store, they push you hard to buy something. Lunch was great, delicious vegetarian option and the tour guide was fantastic, Michael was so friendly and with good energies.

An interesting tour with lots to see. The guide was informative and helped make the trip enjoyable.

We had the best tour with Michael! We learnt a lot from him and are so glad we did this tour.
