My name is Bem Nguyen, founder of Hue Local Tour. The rapid development of industry in Vietnam has radically affected agriculture and the traditional craft villages which have sustained life here for centuries. Hue Local Tour hopes to contribute to the preservation of these long-established lifestyles and cultural values through traditional village experience tours. Hue Local Tour is rooted in the community and thus, after deducting for costs, tour revenue goes to our charity funding , the Hue Foundation. Building on the sustainable tourism activities of Hue Local Tour, in mid-2019 Bem founded the Hue Foundation Charity Fund with the objective of assisting families suffering the consequences of the Vietnamese wars. We wanted to dedicate a portion of the charity’s funds to establish a scholarship fund for academically inclined children of our community who required financial assistance to attend school.
I had such a lovely time with Bem! She teaches the language in a simple and fun way. I have learn a lot of basics in a short space of time. Plus we had a very interesting exchange. She has such a beautiful energy ! A couple of hours later, I have read my notes and was able to order in Vietnamese, which is quite nice :)
We loved this language session with Bem! We met in a stunning cafe which we would never have found without her. She is such a kind and patient person and answered all of our questions and helped with the pronunciation. If I was living in Hue I would hire her as a language teacher in a heartbeat! 💛✨
I’m soooo glad I booked this! Bem chose a really cool cafe for us to have the lesson (I took some friends here the next day and they complimented the good find!). I was also the only one so I had a private class. She was super friendly and patient with me and taught me some great phrases and words that could be chopped and changed to build different sentences. After an hour or so of learning vocabulary she helped me practise with different scenarios. We then chatted for a further hour just as two friends getting to know eachother. 100% recommend! Thank you Bem 💘
We had a fantastic time learning Vietnamese with Bem! We already had a few basic phrases, but she was great at meeting us where we were at and gave us many more useful phrases along with pronunciation and cultural tips. Highly recommend!!
É stato molto divertente e interessante. Si imparano forme di cortesia e semplici modi di dire utili e da poter praticare “sul campo”. Un ottimo modo per entrare ancora di più nel vivo del paese. Consigliato!
