EXCELLENT Based on 157 reviews Posted on Google Francesca SpigarelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional Excellent English Highly recommended Makes Hue even more charming and interestingPosted on Google בר דדושTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing time exploring ancient Huế on a historical tour with Linh (Linh Nguyen). He’s a fantastic guide with exceptional English, and he put together a truly fascinating tour of the Imperial City. If you’re a history buff, you'll love it—the stories he shares are absolutely mind-blowing! I highly recommend asking for Linh specifically, as his English fluency and ability to hold deep, engaging conversations really set him apart. היינו בסיור היסטורי בהואה העתיקה עם לין ( Linh Nguyen ) מדריך מעולה עם אנגלית טובה מאוד ונתן לנו סיור מרתק בהואה הקיסרית העתיקה. מומלץ ממש לחובבי הסטוריה, סיפורים מטורפים! ממליץ לבקש את לין כי לא לכולם יש כזאת אנגלית ויכולים לנהל שיחות ברמה הזאת.Posted on Google Ranjan LamichhaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the walking food tour. James (Bôn) was really fun and knowledgeable and took us to real local food places where a typical tourist is probably unlikely to visit. The food were all amazing and I really appreciated the other side information that he provided about Huế and Vietnam in general. I highly recommend this to anyone, and please arrive very hungry.Posted on Google Rachel HuiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We arranged a private tour with Linh due to our family size. Linh made the tour fun with his witty sense of humour and he was clearly very knowledgeable. We loved his enthusiasm and ability to explain history in a digestible way and he gave us great local restaurant recommendations at the end. We didn't cover all of the sites but were appreciative of the flexible pace of this 2.5 to 3 hour walking tour, so older family members could do it more comfortably in the July heat. We each learned so many memorable facts about ancient history and modern life in Vietnam and even the non-history buffs in my family said they enjoyed the experience much more than they expected. Many thanks to Linh for a great tour and for answering all of our questions. Many thanks also to the tour manager Ngoc Han for being so responsive, considerate and accommodating in arranging this tour for our family. We can definitely recommend this tour company.Posted on Google Mea MacTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tour, Lihn is an excellent guide and I learned a lot!Posted on Google Nathan SpoonerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You must book with Linh. We've had many tours over the years and he was so engaging and knowledgeable that it was in our top for quality of tours. He was genuinely non stop with interesting information, history, questions and personality. It was a small group and he allowed time for your own photos and exploration within his tour. He relies on tips for his income so please tip him in comparison to what you'd pay for an actual tour guide not as a add on. For 3.5 hours of his time non stop! We wish him all the success. Thank you Linh!Posted on Google Teresia StenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Det var en väldigt intressant och givande tur. Guiden Linh Nguyen var väldigt kunnig och rolig vilket gjorde att tiden gick otroligt snabbt, inte en tråkig stund, och vi kommer ha kvar den som ett gott minne. 1000 tack Linh, bra jobbat!!! :DPosted on Google Callum WillisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tour through the Imperial City with Linh. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and lead a comfortable tour. Great recommendations for food afterwards as well.Posted on Google Núria RomeroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Linh has given us a great tour around the imperial city! What a clever guy!Posted on Google Yaria AbitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tour with Linh was great! He knew a lot about the history of the place and showed everything in a very interesting and funny way. Can only recommend
EXCELLENT Based on 147 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor melissa mVerified Great experience Very good experience with our guide :) the tour is intresting and helped us understand better the history of the cityPosted on Tripadvisor Oana PVerified Great experience! We had a great time on our tour! Our guide Linh was very funny and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot more from him that we would have if we had just walked around on our own.Posted on Tripadvisor Ollie SVerified Hue imperial city tour An excellent tour guide who was funny, knowledge and easy to understand. Very interesting if you'd like to learn more about Vietnamese historyPosted on Tripadvisor Silvia MVerified famiglia alla.cittadella di huè Abbiamo visitato la.cittadella imperiale in modo molto approfondito. la nostra guida ha soddisfatto pienamente le aspettative!Posted on Tripadvisor Tami FVerified Highly recommend this walking tour with Linh! We had a lovely tour directed by Linh N. He was informative, passionate, and knowledgeable! We had plenty of time to explore at each stop. Linh shared photos to enhance our experience and asked fun questions about how we might respond to events he described. He spoke of a handsome Playboy emperor, though I found him far more handsome and animated. Thank you for a marvelous tour 💞💞💞Posted on Tripadvisor Keighty BeeVerified Very interesting and informative tour! Mr. Nguyen picked us up promptly. Gave us good information ahead of time about leaving our luggage at a local restaurant. The tour was just the right length with good stops and time to look around by ourselves. Mr. Nguyen knew a lot about the local sights and history. His English was good. He included everyone on the tour, by asking them questions and getting them involved in the history. It was very enjoyable. Also Mr Nguyen was much cuter than the picture of the emperor playboy that he kept showing everyone! LOL we really enjoyed our tour. Thanks!Posted on Tripadvisor Grace LVerified 100% recommend!! Linh was an AMAZING tour guide!!! I would recommend to book with this company!!Posted on Tripadvisor Nathan PVerified Un guide passionné et drôle, on a passé un très bon moment La visite était très bien organisée. Le guide parlait très bien anglais. Ça se voit qu’il est passionné par l’histoire de son pays. Il a répondu à toutes nos questions avec joie. La visite était dynamique avec une touche d’humour de la part du guide. A la fin vous pouvez donner le pourboire qui vous semble approprié.Posted on Tripadvisor Abigail LVerified Must do in Hue We’ve done many walking tours across Europe, and while we’ve enjoyed our travels around Southeast Asia, we haven’t always found the walking tours here to be of the same standard. This tour was the exception. It was by far one of the best we’ve done. The balance between entertaining storytelling and historical information was excellent. We learned so much about Hue, as well as Vietnam’s wider history and culture. If you like facts and history and hate those organised tours which try to cram in everything and feel rushed then you will really enjoy this well paced informative tour. Linh was a fantastic guide. His English was excellent, making everything easy to understand, and he was warm, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions throughout. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Hue and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Definitely worth your time!Posted on Tripadvisor Andrea TVerified A deep dive into Hue Imperial City and Imperial Vietnam history We had the Hue Imperial City Tour with Linh in August 2026. The tour lasts 3 hours and covers all the buildings and main landmarks of the Citadel. Linh is an excellent guide: he told us a lot of interesting facts about Vietnamese history, in particular about 19th century and Imperial period. Besides history, Linh has been very available in teaching us a variety of curiosities about Vietnamese culture, language and traditions. I storngly recommended to explore the Citadel with him!
