Tour with Thanh

Published on Jan, 2025

We did this tour with Thanh. She was very informative and answered all of our questions. The tour was a great pace and it was truly very interesting. The whole site is impressive as is the story about the succession of the different kings. Fascinating! Don’t skip Hue and the Imperial City. It’s worth the stop for sure.

Great experience. English group tour of six people.

Thanh (female) was our lovely tour guide on a rainy day in Hue imperial City. She took her time to wait for us as we were a bit late due to the rain. Thanks for the patience to the lovely couple in our group as well. Thanh came prepared with rain capes for us. She did a great job during the tour with challenging conditions. But she never missed a smile. We felt good with her speed and her english was very good. Thank you. We hope you didn't catch a cold!

The Imperial walking tour was fantastic! My partner and I had many questions for our guide, Thanh, who was more than happy to answer them! It was very interesting to learn about each king and how the crown was passed on, as well as the various elements and animals you’ll see throughout Vietnamese and Asian culture. Definetly recommend this tour if you’d like something chill but also informative! Thank you to Thanh for your yummy salted coffee suggestion also! We are obsessed!!! :D

Excellent Tour
