Wonderful day trip - I easily arranged a wonderful day trip to Hue from Hoi An. Although it was a long drive, Nam was a great and very helpful driver! We had a very nice day seeing the sights and the communication from the company and organization was just perfect. I would not have any issues in recommending VM tours!

Great tour in a great place ! - The tour was sooo good!!! We wanted to go fully private in Hue and this tour was perfect. We stopped everywhere we wanted to take photos, the litenary was so flexible and we had a lot of time in every stop , the citadel was just amazing place, the tour guide was very helpful and explained us everything. Soo if you want to go private in this long tour around 2,5 hours to go and another 2,5 to come back to Danang or Hoi an then this tour is for you !! Also the lunch was very very delicious! Highly recommend this tour!!

Exceeded expectations! - Tommy was the best guide anyone could’ve asked for. Knowledgeable, speaks fluent English, and was able to answer our million and one questions about the history of Vietnam, China, and also about the Buddhism. He’s also thoughtful, polite and kind, and made the entire tour extra enjoyable. He would keep checking on our welfare to ensure that we got everything we needed.
The tour started at 7am sharp, and ended at around 6pm.
We were not expecting such an amazing and insightful tour, and will heartily recommend anyone to ask for Tommy when booking this tour.

Wonderful day trip to Hue - Thanks Sam for a wonderful day trip to Hue.
Everything was setup pretty well, and I highly recommend this trip.
Hoi-an to Hue is a pretty long ride but we didn't feel like getting rushed in Hue.
A very very special thanks to the tour guide Ms.Thu for explaining all the things so very beautifully and also taking us to a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant for lunch (covered in the trip)

Amazing Hue day trip with Anthony and Loan - VM Travel proved themselves a very professional company from the minute we filled out a booking request online. Within seconds I received a WhatsApp to confirm the service and discuss the finer details such as special requests and pick up location.
On the day itself our driver ANTHONY Mai was absolutely amazing - welcoming us with water and the most comfortable air conditioned car (37 degrees out so very needed) which smelled sparkling clean. He drove us to Hue stopping at the Hai Van pass and Lan Co beach for some photos. He was extremely friendly and spoke English with us - telling us different information on the way.
Once in Hue we were joined by Loan (Jen) our tour guide who showed us around the Imperial Palace and Pagoda. She has brilliant English, a sparkling sense of humour and lots of fun stories to help us remember the history of each place we visited.
Our lunch in Madame Thu was also a huge highlight as we sampled delicious local dishes and cooled off from the hot outdoors.
At the end Anthony drove us back to Hoi An. 100% recommend this company !

Hue Day trip - We just came back from our busy Day trip to Hue and I can only say it was amazing,so much to explore. We visited all the 3 top spots and the Pagoda. Our driver Henry came to pick us up early in the morning and was brilliant - to be honest without a car would have been difficult to enjoy the beautiful city due to the heat, but Henry even got us water and kept it ice cold throughout the whole day, he was very polite with us.
Also I want to say 'Thank you' to Sarah from VM Travel who is a brilliant agent and always available to reply on all inqueries. She also was available on Whatsapp during lhr trip helping us to maintain contact with our driver Henry. Thank you for your amazing service,Sarah ! You are a star !
Book your trip with VM Travel ! 100 % satisfied !

He was so informative and made sure that we were well taken care of. He also had an excellent lunch recommendation. Well done on such an fantastic service. Definitely highly recommended to friends and family.
