A nice half day tour around the Hué Imperial Tombs and Pagoda - Our driver Long was very knowledgeable. He could speak very good English and explained us some things about every stop, that we did not expect. He also brought us to some nice Vietnamese local coffee place and made his best every time to accommodate our needs. Totally recommended!

Tour of tombs. - We had a great afternoon touring three tombs, an incense village, and the pagoda and a dragon boat ride end our activity. Our driver Ly was punctual and a safe driver. He was always waiting for us every time we finished a tour. He also walked us up to the ticket booths each time. We did not hire a guide. Next time we would consider doing that so we had a driver and a guide. We did a walking tour of the imperial city the morning before this activity. This made the tomb self guided tours more meaningful as we had already learnt some of the history of the different kings.

Hue tour and Phong Nha transfer - I had a great customized tour, adding the Imperial City/Citadel and with drop-off in Phong Nha. Communication/planning was great. Driver David did an amazing job, was punctual and very helpful. He explained a lot about Vietnamese history on the way. Very comfortable car, too.
