Small-group full-day Hue by minivan: dragon boat on the Perfume River, Thien Mu Pagoda, UNESCO Citadel and tombs, Dong Ba Market, lunch.
“It was a very full day tour which took us to many different sites. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable but tended to talk too much. We could have done without the indoor market stop. Lunch was very good. Visiting the tombs in the afternoon was all right but we seemed to spend a lot of time standing around listening to the guide who tended to repeat himself. Last stop was incense making which was fine but by then it had been a long day. Perhaps having a few less stops would shorten the day and make it a bit less tiring.”

A small-group, 8-hour Hue intro with hotel pickup, a Perfume River dragon boat, major Nguyen tombs, market time, and lunch.
“This tour included all the sites I wanted to see in Hue. The tour guide was very nice and told a lot of stories about the history of Hue and significance of the sites. The booking office was easy to communicate with and helped arrange a transfer for us to the airport after the tour. However, I wished there was free time available at each site so we can take photos freely instead of as we are walking by something. I think we spent too much time for lunch and more time for people to soak their feet after lunch. Also we stopped by the incense store after lunch that…”
