Hue 12/25 - Kudos to Andy Tours for another great experience! In spite of inclement weather, "Mr. One," our tour guide and driver, Mr. Hai, provided us with an informative journey back in time to the Citadel and related sites of Imperial Hue before sampling the local lunch cuisine at a cozy little eatery. Followed by an (albeit rain soaked) visit to the Royal King's Tomb, this Hue experience concluded at the serene Princess Temple, our favorite.

Also if it is a long trip ( and back from Da Nang) it absolutely a must do trip - The special service we got only for 2 of us! Very good driver, which is not easy in this mess traffic. And also the tour guide very proactive! And everything we did visit was amazing good! May be the short tour on boat which was not so exciting

Enjoyable learning experience of Hue - It was a long day drip from Da Nang to Hue through scenic the Hai Van Pass through the highlands. Weather was off and on showers, but to be expected for that time of year but we were ready for it. Local Hue guide Nhien was very knowledgeable and made it work.

Day trip to Hue - We had an action-packed and unforgettable day trip to Huế, filled with history, beauty, and heartwarming moments. Our journey began with a picturesque drive from Hội An, with a quick stop to capture the scenic views before heading straight into our first adventure—a tranquil boat ride along the Perfume River. From there, we explored the majestic Imperial City and wandered through the solemn grandeur of a royal king’s tomb, all while soaking up centuries of rich Vietnamese history. Every site came to life thanks to our incredible guide, Mr. Minh, whose deep knowledge and storytelling brought depth and meaning to every moment. The weather surprised us with an unseasonal chill, but what stood out most was Mr. Minh’s kindness and care—he noticed I was cold and, without hesitation, brought me a warm coat from his own home. It was a gesture that felt genuinely fatherly, and one I won’t forget. His attentiveness extended beyond comfort—he made sure we were safe, informed, and at ease throughout the entire day. Mr. Minh didn’t just guide a tour; he created an experience filled with warmth, wisdom, and personal care. He truly went above and beyond, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful. I can't recommend Andy tours enough!

Lovely Day at Hue - We booked a private transfer with Andy Tours for a day at Hue. The driver, Dong was lovely and provided us with water during the journey. We specifically booked transfer, not a guided tour as we wanted the freedom to explore. He dropped us at each attractions and we met him afterwards at an agreed pick up. The day went really well. We did everything we wanted to do at our pace and Dong found us a cafe as well so we could have a rest and some tea :)

Great trip! - We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Hoi An and that's about all we needed to do...As we made the 2 hr drive to Hua via the Hai Van Pass, Mr Hung prepared us with some historical facts about the Pass and also introduced us to Hua and it's place in Vietnam's history with literature he had personally prepared. He was very good at his history....We stopped for lunch and I immediately sensed this would be THE lunch...it was that good. The lunch was worth the tour. By the time we were dropped off at our hotel, we were done with a beautiful day by Andy.
