“Tommy and his team of motorcycle drivers were punctual, professional and friendly. Tommy was knowledgeable and spoke English well. We have two children aged 9 and 11 and they really enjoyed the motorbikes. A great way to see all the historical sites of Hue. Tommy and his team were flexible and we could tailor the tour to what we wanted to see.”
Hue by motorbike with a private guide and off-trail stops like Thien Mu Pagoda and An Dinh Palace. Pickup included, 4–6 hours.
“Our time in Hue was short, but we were able to see alot of hidden places on the motorbikes that we wouldn't have done on our own. Our tour guides Huy and Gian Don were great and were a wealth of knowledge. We changed our pick up location at the last minute and they were very accommodating.”
Hue to DMZ and Phong Nha Cave in one day: La Vang, Quang Tri, Hien Luong Bridge, then a boat ride in SE Asia’s longest river.
“I loved how Huu connected the DMZ history to the places we saw. It made everything so real. Driver Quang kept the van cool and comfortable. Phong Nha Cave’s formations are out of this world – photos don’t do it justice.”
A private Hue day trip by scooter and dragon boat: UNESCO imperial history, royal tombs, pagodas, craft villages, and a tiger-elephant arena.
“The tour was fantastic. Hung had so much knowledge of the history and best places to see. The country side was beautiful and learn so much from hung. Would recommend this tour to everyone”
Phong Nha Cave and Vietnam’s DMZ from Hue: UNESCO cave boat ride, Hien Luong Bridge at the 17th parallel, lunch, 12-hour trip.
“Our guide, WAN, and driver, Ming were both fantastic! We were lucky enough to have a private car and just the 2 of us. We had an interesting tour around the DMZ and WAN was very knowledgeable. Then we arrived at the caves for the tour. Sadly, the weather was biblical with torrential rain - but this didn’t ruin the enjoyment (you had to laugh!) the caves are out of this world, really special and we were pretty much the only people in there - excellent lunch followed and home at the time we expected. Both wan and Ming were 100% and I would definitely recommend this tour.Read more”
