Great experience with Du

We had a great time trying different foods with Du for our 10 Tastings of Hue. She took us to a lot of local places we would never have thought to try. Her English was excellent and we felt comfortable with her right off the bat. The evening was well planned and we had a really good time eating and chatting with Du.

Fantastic food tour of HUE!

Du took us on a very interesting tour all over the centre of Hue that included all of the best local specialities! We went into local restaurants that we would never have found independently, and she explained the food culture of the city very well. Du was very easy to chat with and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. Do make sure that you are hungry when you start the tour as the portions are generous!

A day in Hue we won't soon forget.

We booked a day tour with Du to visit Hue. We communicated beforehand to share some of the highlights we wanted to see. Du was very helpful in planning the tour, doing some advanced research for us, and making recommendations to ensure we saw a variety of sites. This was very helpful and much appreciated. Du grew up in Hue so she knows the entire area and all of the sites well. Even though we were staying in Da Nang, Du was able to arrange a car to pick us up and take us around to all the sites. Du was very communicative with us about our pick up and ensured we were in the car and on our way. The driver took us across the Hai Van pass which was beautiful and we stopped for a quick coffee and some photos at the top. Once we arrived in Hue, Du met us at our hotel to drop our bags. She even brought us pastries as she knew we didn't have time to eat before leaving Da Nang. We visited 2 tombs, both very different. Du was incredibly knowledgeable about the emperors of the Nguyen dynasty and shared some interesting details with us along the way. We also visited the Citadel, and again Du's knowledge of the history of the emperors their wives and their counsel was so helpful. We learned so much about Hue from her. Du is a wonderful guide who knows Hue and its history incredibly well. We fit a lot into this day and she did a remarkable job as our guide. I highly recommend booking with Du for your tour to Hue.
