Bellissimo tour, la nostra guida simpatica e preparata!

Excelente guía, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

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.

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

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! 👏🏯💜

Super lovely tour!! Vy speaks great English has a charming personality and very very knowledgeable about the city! She not only speaks about the Imperial city but also about Vietnamese culture and people. The tour was well paced and not overwhelming for a hot day. I highly recommend for everyone!!

Thanh was extremely knowledgeable and relayed historical and cultural information in perfect English. She also had a wonderful sense of humour. I would absolutely recommend this walking tour as the best way to see and learn about the citadel and forbidden city.

Thanh was lovely. Incredibly informative, personable and fun!

We had the opportunity to visit the citadel with Vy. The entire tour was very professional, with exceptional explanations at every turn. She is a very professional and pleasant person, with impeccable English. Thank you, Vy! 😉

Really interesting and informative tour, thanks Huy

Vy our guide was very informative, friendly and helpful! We had a thorough explanation of the Imperial city and had our questions answered! We had good fun together!

Worth doing but not the best tour in the world, light on historical context and too much “free time.”

Princess Vy did a very interesting tour in the imperial City. She could answer all our questions about the history and it was very personal. Showed us all the beautiful spots and adapted the tour to the needs of the group.Recommend 10/10!

La guida era molto preparata

Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts about the Imperial City. She took care of us during the afternoon heat, offered advice for food and coffee places to visit after the tour and was curious about where the participants were from and what they had planned for their visits. Another plus was the small group size so we were able to move more quickly and understand her words in a more intimate setting than in a bigger group. Thanks for this, it was absolutely worth it!

Notre guide nous a donné de nombreuses informations tant au sujet de la ville impériale que de la vie et culture vietnamienne en général. Très intéressant, nous recommandons vivement!

We had a wonderful tour with Huy from Hue ;) He shared a lot of information about the Imperial City and it was great to explore it with him. Without tour, I believe that a visit to the Imperial City will feel overwhelming. Huy shared great information about the royal family, traditions and the repetition of the number 5 and 3. Really recommend it!!

The tour guide who happens to be a descendant of a royal family was superb. Provided great historical information. Very effective story telling skills

The tour really brought the Citadel to life. Rose’s knowledge and passion really shone through. She was both informative and personable. Thank you

Du lead our group of 4 people around the palace there was just enough explanation at each view point and plenty of time for photos. Would recommend this guru to anyone visiting Hue.

What a sweet , lovely and infomative guide! The Imperial palace is beautiful and majestic! Having a guide makes the tour so much more special and ours was excellent! Fantastic! Highly recommend!
