“Overall, I had a positive experience with the Hue tour and Phuoc as my guide - it felt like a private tour as it was Phuoc as one guide with two visitors in total. Phuoc was attentive, proactively helped take pictures for us, and had a wealth of information at each area. There were moments I struggled to understand his English, but I was ultimately able to clarify and understand his message each time. I would encourage him to continue actively practicing clear pronunciation to improve the ease of hearing for future visitors.”

“Pros: Nice Minibus, small group, we were only 7 (different to STours where a "small" group of max 15 people were in fact 30 inside a tiny chinese bus with narrow seats). Even though it takes 10 hrs it is worth to do, Citadel and Tomb of Khai Dinh were impressing, very nice location for lunch and delicious taste of different Vietnamese dishes. Cons: The guide was not too entusiastic. She talked in the bus without loudspeaker and in spite of repeated requests often did not talk in the direction to the travellers so not everything was understood in row 4. All tourist groups had the guide inside Tomb of…”
