Hong arrived at our hotel on time in the morning with another driver and my husband and I spent the next 7 hours being driven around Hue and the surrounding countryside to all of Hue's top sites - both historical and cultural. It was a fast and safe way to tour the city from the back of a motorbike and the cool breeze helped to take the edge off the heat. Hong was very patient, informative and offered us many interesting stories. Hong's English was excellent and he was able to talk on a wide range of topics.

My teenage son & i really enjoyed the tour. Our drivers were great and we felt safe in the crazy Vietnamese traffic, although most of the trip is along empty country roads. Hung was a great tour guide: really knowledgeable and happy to answer many questions, has great English and explains things in a way that keeps you interested. As well as the tourist stops, the tour also takes you to out of the way places that not many tourists get to visit.

The tour was great: the sights we visited were very interesting and our guide Hong knew a lot about the history of the country, the different sights and the best ways to go there. Also, since I never rode on a motorbike before and I was a little scared, the guide drove very calm and I felt totally safe with him the entire time. I canjust recommend this tour and guide.

Doing the motorbike tour around Hue was an amazing way to see so many incredible sights. Our journey started in the countryside and honestly my husband and I have never been a captivated about rice before! Learning the traditional ways and history of Hue and eve Vietnamese people then off we went to visit some tombs of previous kings. Our tour guide Hung had the most knowledge I have ever come across knowing names and dates and mind blowing facts! The architecture you visit is beautiful and having all this information and knowledge really helped bring the tour to life. Khue was our other bike driver and he was so kind and friendly! There are some not so flat roads but expert navigation we felt safe the whole time and Hue has some busy streets there were even cows crossing the roads.
There is SO much in this tour excellent value! Would 100% recommended to other travellers

We were taken into the countryside to see 3 tombs, an American airbase , a real local only market! Then the Citadel tour . Then lunch. I cannot recommend Hung and his team enough! Absolutely BRILLIANT and fantastic value for money. Thank you Hung

What an amazing tour full of so much history our guide Thanh Le Cong was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The drivers were extremely experienced and safe. The tour took us to markets and less travelled back street to gain a better appreciation of Hue. The tour through Purple City and Kings tomb were spectacular.
Lunch was amazing at a local restaurant. I highly recommend this trip a great way to see Hue without it being commercialised.

We couldn't have asked for better guides, Rin and Khue were outstanding from start to finish. They are both very experienced and safe motorcycle riders and at no time did we feel apprehensive riding with them.
Rin's knowledge, not only locally but of Vietnam itself was incredible. He was a fountain of knowledge and answered all sorts of questions we threw at him. Our tour was thoroughly enjoyable, relaxed, informative, interesting and well paced.
Thank you so much for a fantastic day.
