Free Walking Tours in Huế

Experiencia maravillosa con Huy que fue un guía genial. Nos explicó muchas cosas interesante sobre la ciudad imperial y aprendimos sobre historia del país. Ka visita sin el no hubiera sido lo mismo, lo recomiendo totalmente para entender 100% está ciudad !!!

¡La experiencia ha sido maravillosa! Descubrimos un montón de platos nuevos en lugares de gente local. Huy, además, nos hizo una explicación exhaustiva de la cultura de Hué. Repetiríamos 100%. !Gracias Huy!

Great communication. Fantastic knowledge. We had to make the tour shorter but huy was great, very understanding and enthusiastic. Recommend to everybody.

I really enjoyed having a local take us around his neighbourhood. I tasted things I would never known to order & found out a lot about Hue specialties. It was the best food tour we've been on in Vietnam. Thank you Huy!

Had a great experience doing the walking tour of the imperial city with Huy. He was very informed and able to answer all my questions in detail. It was easy to follow him and understand the connections between the things he talked about. More than that, he was super friendly and lighthearted which made the tour very enjoyable!

Hue is really one of the most excellent guides we’ve ever had. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. We learned a great deal during the tour. Plus, she was available for questions about current life in Vietnam. We are so grateful!

This was an amazing tour. First of all, It was with motorbikes. And Huy, the guide, made an itinerary out of the trivial. We could go to more distant places than a walking tour does not achieve. Also, we saw views and attractions that would be difficult without motorbikes. The guide and the other motorbikes were very polite and careful drivers. The talks we had with Huy were beyound regular turistic issues, to get to know better the vietnamese people, it's old and recent history and interesting regional and national issues as well. It's worth to have been done this incredibly tour. Thank you, Huy!!!

Huy was a great guide, we experienced an authentic meal and learned a lot about the vietnamese culture.

Bellissimo tour, la nostra guida simpatica e preparata!

Huy was such a lovely and informative guide! We had so much fun trying all the dishes and learning the history of them and life in Hue!

Excelente guía, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Our experience was very good. Lucky for us, we were only with two because of the low season. Huy tells a lot about the Vietnam's history and especially about Hue. Interesting. We enjoyed the ride, stops and Huy. A good experience for a half day in Hue.

We learned a lot from Huy about the history of the city, the food, and Vietnam. All the food was really tasty as well. We did the palace tour earlier in the day as well, and we learned a lot there and felt like it connected the dots on what we learned after doing the food tour in the evening. I recommend the tours from HuebyLocals!

Linh was fantastic. I already expected good quality and he exceeded that. He came prepared with a small speaker and mic, had lots of information to share, broke up the tour in small chunks with time for us to explore and take pictures, and most importantly, he felt the atmosphere of the group, adjusted yhe tour accordingly, and bonded with them. All five of us were at different levels of what we wanted from the tour and he was able to connect on a common ground in terms of energy level, humour level, information level, and great social skills to make room for everyone. We even talked about modern Vietnamese politics and swapped personal stories which made it more like hanging out with a friend. Would absolutely recommend. One of my friends said, "Linh might be in the top 3 guys of Vietnam" and we're still talking about him now while reflecting on our trip. You're awesome, Linh! Keep doing your thing. Hopefully catch you again sometime.

Very friendly guide with fantastic English, really delicious food, and a great route. We visited places and tried dishes which are very popular among locals and outside of the tourist areas. It was a really great way of seeing the 'local' Hue - and getting a very full and satisfied belly!

This is a fascinating tour conducted at a relaxed pace by an engaging and well informed tour guide . This tour is must do..

Du was an amazing guide: she can explain you with interesting facts and she is happy to answer all of the questions. Booking her guide was the best decision I took in Hué

Probably you can get a more professional guided, too, but it's a good option to hire students and support them a bit.

Huy was a very good tour guide. We went to places that you would not normally visit. All the drivers were excellent, never speeding and cautious.

Huy was such a great, funny and well informed guide. He had so many stories about the imperial city ans he still did the tour even there were just two of us. We would recommand it ! Thank you so much!

Had a really great tour with our guide Huy. He was very knowledgeable with lots of interesting stories. Guide had excellent English and we learnt a lot about the local history on this tour. Definitely recommend if you plan to visit the citadel!

Vy was extremely knowledgeable and her English was excellent

The best tour if you truly want to understand Hue Imperial City! I’ve joined many city tours and historical tours in Vietnam, but this was honestly one of the most impressive and meaningful history tours I’ve ever experienced. What made this tour truly special was the guide himself — a local from Hue with excellent and very easy-to-understand English. He explained everything naturally and passionately, with deep knowledge about the Nguyen Dynasty, royal culture, and the hidden stories inside the Imperial City. It never felt like a dry history lecture or memorized script like many other tours. The biggest difference is that this guide takes you through the Imperial City in a much more complete and immersive way. He carefully explains each area, each emperor, court rituals, royal life, architecture, and even the hidden details that most visitors completely miss. Normally, many big travel companies or even some official guides inside the heritage site only bring tourists to a few symbolic spots for quick explanations and photos before finishing the tour. But this experience was completely different — you genuinely feel transported into the world of Vietnam’s last dynasty. Some highlights that deeply impressed me: ✨ Thai Hoa Palace — hearing stories about royal ceremonies and imperial power beneath the golden dragons was unforgettable. ✨ The Forbidden Purple City — it truly felt like stepping into a hidden royal world. ✨ The To Mieu Temples and Nine Dynastic Urns — full of fascinating historical meaning that most tourists would never fully understand without a knowledgeable guide. ✨ Kien Trung Palace — an incredible blend of Asian and European architecture with emotional stories from the final days of the dynasty. ✨ The Royal Theater — learning about Hue royal music made the entire experience feel alive. I especially loved the storytelling style of the guide. He didn’t just explain history — he made you feel connected to it, almost like traveling back in time. My honest advice to anyone visiting Hue: 👉 If you visit the Imperial City alone or join a normal tourist tour, you will only “see” the citadel. 👉 But if you join this tour, you will truly “understand” the citadel. This was not just a walking tour — it was a deep cultural and historical experience that I will remember for a very long time. Huge thanks to the local guide for the passion, knowledge, and unforgettable storytelling! 👏🏯💜

One of the most unique experiences I had in Hue! If you are visiting Hue, I honestly highly recommend joining this tour — especially if you want to see the “real” Hue beyond the typical tourist attractions. Most normal package tours from big travel companies will usually only take you to the common famous spots like the Imperial City or a few temples. But this motorbike tour brought me to hidden places and local experiences that I would never discover by myself. Riding through Hue on the back of a motorbike with local guides was already an amazing experience. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing not only the history of Hue but also the local lifestyle, traditions, and culture. It felt much more authentic and personal compared to ordinary tours. Some highlights for me were: ✨ The mysterious abandoned water park — such a surreal and unforgettable place. ✨ Tu Hieu Pagoda — peaceful, spiritual, and full of stories. ✨ Incense Village — colorful, beautiful, and very interactive. ✨ Vong Canh Hill — the view was stunning and relaxing. ✨ Learning about Hue’s war history at the museum and bunker sites. I also loved that the tour was small group style, so everything felt more relaxed and less rushed. My biggest advice for anyone coming to Hue: 👉 Don’t only book the standard tourist tours. 👉 Join this local motorbike experience if you really want to understand Hue deeply. This tour showed me a side of Hue that many tourists probably never get to see. It was authentic, emotional, adventurous, and memorable all at the same time. Thank you so much to the local team for such a wonderful experience! 🛵💜

Excellent tour! Huy was very nice, informative, and easy to chat with like a new friend. Great amount of walking and eating around. Really fabulous food and it was great to get a real taste of the local spots and authentic food! Great variety and he was careful to find out about diets before visiting places. Better than other food tours where you always have the basics- this dives into a food culture that most tourists won't see. Highly recommend this tour - I'm a true foodie- and this was top notch! Giving 10 stars if I could!
