The tour was awesome! We had a great time. Mr. Duc, the driver was excellent. He showed us around until we picked up the guide. Super n8ce guy who went above and beyond for us. Ms. Fi, the tour guide was awesome. She is well versed in her history and super kind and fun to tour with. Her and my partner talked as if old friends and we look forward to a future tour with them. It was the perfect amount of places too see. Not too much and we never felt rushed. Thank you so much for the great time.

We will take a dragon boat to go along the Perfume River to visit Thien Mu pagoda- the oldest and sacred pagoda in the center and south of Vietnam from 1601. Our local expert will tell you the wonderful history, help you capture some beautiful photos as well as tell you some ancient myths about this pagoda.

Enjoy some royal tea and ginger jams. Our local expert will tell you some valuable and interesting stories, deep knowledge about Nguyen dynasty emperors, concubines, eunuchs.
We will go to visit one of the ancient and beautiful bridges in Vietnam with wonderful architecture, decoration. Our guide will take you to explore the real rural village market in Thanh Toan village. To understand more about the hardness of farming works, we will explore the Thanh Toan agriculture museum.
Minh Mang Tomb- the resting place of the 2nd emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. Visiting Minh Mang’s Tomb, you will be astonished to find a place of art, poetry, and philosophy. The solemn and quiet architecture set in a poetic landscape demonstrates both the Emperor's strictness and deep beliefs.
Khai Dinh Tomb- the burial area of the 12th emperor of the Nguyen dynasty. This is the final resting place of Khai Dinh, Emperor of Vietnam from 1916-1925. The tomb represents a fusion of traditional Vietnamese style and modern influence. Begun in 1920 and completed in 1931, the tomb is almost entirely made of concrete and includes many European architectural details, likely inspired by the Emperor's visit to France in 1922 where he viewed the Marseilles Colonial Exhibition.

Wonderful way to see the highlights of Hue. Our guide Hoàng/Lee was energetic, knowledgeable about the history of the sights,and fun to spend the day with. He also gave us great advice on what to do in town and at our next destination.
Our guide li li was such an amazing tour guide. She told us a lot of fun stories about the history at each stop and was very friendly. She also shared some stories of her experience in daily life. I highly recommend her tour. This was the best way to get a full overview of hue from the imperial city to the tombs in such a short time. The driver was punctual and swift. We hope to come back for longer soon.
We had a wonderful experience with our driver, Mr Tuan. He picked us up in the pouring rain from DAD and safely driven us to our hotel in Hue, 2.5 hrs away. Mr. Tuan also drove us from our hotel in Hue to the Cham Museum in Danang and our hotel in Hoi An. Mr Tuan also helped us with our banking needs. He drove us to a few banks to withdraw cash in local currency. The next morning Mr. Tuan drove us around from our hotel to Hue Citadel to the DMZ and back. Ms Ngoc was a wonderful informative guide to the Hue Citadel. We highly recommend her. Ms. Thach toured us around the DMZ and the Vinh Moc Tunnels. She was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Mr. Hua drove us from our hotel in Hoi An to the Ancient Town and My Son. He was a very accomodating and safe driver. Ms. Nguyen was an exceptional and knowledgeable guide for Ancient Town in Hoi An and My Son. She knew exactly when to get us to the shows and where to seat us for the best view. I also enjoyed hearing about her childhood working in the rice fields and her family life. She showed my local plants that are edible and novel. We would absolutely love to hire Ms. Nguyen again when we're in Danang area.
We are from Singapore travelling to Hanoi. Engage local tour services with a Chinese speaking guide for my parents. We are introduced to Ms Julia, who is Vietnamese but can really converse well in Mandarin. She's a great tour guide that brings us around and is accomodative to my parents' request. Even though there has been a lot of walking, she is patient with us. Mr Manh is our super driver. The traffic in Hanoi is rather messy, but he is able to navigate well in the luxury premium car that I have requested for my parents. I will definitely recommend and engage them again for the next trip with my friends.
We have been taking tours all over Vietnam during the past 2 weeks. This tour was by far the best of the best. Our guide, T, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and his English is outstanding. This tour began at the tombs of the 2nd emperor and 12th emperor, where T clearly explained the history of the emperors, the history of Vietnam during that time period, and the underlying architecture. We also visited the Citadel/Imperial City and walked through the interior grounds and buildings, while continuing to learn about the history and architecture of the relevant time periods. T took us to lunch at a local restaurant where we enjoyed several foods that are part of Hue's local cuisine. This was one of our best meals in Vietnam. Last we visited the pagoda and took a cruise along the Perfume River. From our tour with T we felt that we gained an in-depth understanding of the local history, culture, and cuisine. We also learned about the more recent history of the city and local customs through T's eyes, having grown up in a neighboring village. We highly recommend this tour with T.
Ms. Linh arranged a private tour to Hue. Driver Hau was very friendly and helpful. Provided lots of bottled water and took us to the best lunch spot. Highly recommend this tour.
Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hau is the best driver. He is very accommodating and lots of patience. I will recommend him for my family and friends in their future journeys.
This was an amazing day of discoveries. The stop in City of Ghost was totally worth it. And my driver (Mr De) was simply the best. I totally recommend
Guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. The itinerary was perfect as we visited some very interesting land marks and learnt a lot about the history of Vietnam. Lunch was traditional Vietnamese and was very nice. Highly recommend this tour
We had an excellent Transfer from Hoi An to Hue with several Stopps on viewpoints and attractions. Our driver Hau was a safe and good driver, polite and helpful. Nice Guy.
Booked only transport services. Transport arrived on time. Assured of a safe driving by dedicated driver, Mr Hau. With Mr Hau at the wheel, you can be rest assured that you will reach your destination safely.
Cannot rate this tour highly enough. Our driver knew his way around and navigated the Hue streets with ease. What really made the day incredible was the wealth of knowledge of my guide named “T”. So much information willingly shared and amazing insights into the history of Vietnam. And fabulous company for the day with lots of laughter shared!
The private tour of Hue was amazing and a great fit for our family that ranged from kids to grandchildren. T was a very well informed guide that had very thoughtful answers to all our questions. Lunch was especially good, and a great introduction to local cuisine that we would not otherwise have eaten.
We are travelling as a family of 5 and engaged Culture Pham for our activities from Hue,Hoian,Bana hill. For Hue, we have Ms Van as our tour guide. She shares with us all the information of the historic places with good english. She is very patient and smiley. Highly recommended tour to Hue if you would love the historical side the central vietnam.
great knowledge about Vietnamese culture and the history of the forbidden city. highly recommended the tour with Mr. T
Very interesting tour: Mr Ti was an incredible guide, he shared with us a lot of stories and anectos!!!! I recommended to everyone who is looking for a fun and entartaining tour.
If I could give this tour 6 stars I would. Mr Hoa took us on a fabulous walking food tour around Hue. He tailored the tour according to our request for trying more adventurous foods and delivered. He showed us little hole in the wall eateries that we would not have discovered on our own. He is the owner of the company but do train and employ quality guides in many locations around Vietnam. Communication with them is a breeze as they respond quickly via Whatsapp and their English is good. In addition to tours they do transfers and are very flexible and accommodating. We had a fabulous time and I won't hesitate to book with them again.
Would definitely recommend booking a day tour with Mr. Hoa. He made the experience very easy for me.
Really great and very interesting half day Da Nang city tour. Quy was a very good guide and showed us all the sights as well as being very knowledgeable about each. Had fab local vegetarian food too which was a highlight. Highly recommend
We conducted private tours of Hue, My Son (from Hoi An) and several transfers with Culture Pham. The tour guides on both occasions were professional, knowledgeable and were very patient with children. Hoa, the owner of Culture Pham, was very accommodating and helpful of changes that we needed to make to our transfers. I would highly recommend booking a tour with this company!
It was the best day of our trip in Vietnam! Incredible landscapes, a lot of historical places, amazing stories about the country and its rulers!! Our guide talked about life in the old days and showed artifacts. We are very thankful to Fi and we recommend her. She speaks excellent English and she is a very pretty girl!
