Good day out
Angie_T, Sept 2025
Good day trip to see the imperial citadel and other temples in the area. The guide was fantastic and accommodating, lunch was great and they cater to dietary requirements. Highly recommend.
This company is a scam
Quynh_N, Apr 2025
This travel company is a scam. They didn't show up to pick me up and drop me off at the hotel as scheduled, and they didn't provide the tour service that I bought. When I called them, they hung up on me and couldn't be contacted.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Mrs. Quynh, I'm Pansy from VM Travel I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience about the tour However, let me clarify something with you. Before the departure day, you called me many times just to ask about the pick up time and the information of the guide and I already told you many times that the pick up time would be between 8am and 8,30am from hotel in Da nang, please just be ready at the hotel lobby. Information of the guide can just be provided the night before Yesterday, you joined in our tour, right? We were there to pick you up as scheduled and you joined in our tour. So why you called it is a scam??? You called me when my phone was out of battery, so I didn't hear your call. However, our guide was there at your hotel right after that. You booked the tour to visit Hue city from Hoi an and you joined it. Please check again the itinerary. That's the correct tour! If just because you couldn't call us in the morning and you gave us 1 star, I think it doesn't fair with us. Thank you, Mrs. Pansy
Highly recommend the tour

It was a very arranged tour. Our guide Cong or Ray was very knowledgeable. He shared lot of information about history and culture of Vietnam. It was a long drive from Hoi An.
The guide was...
lauriebauer, Mar 2025
The guide was outstanding. He gave us so much detailed information on each site and really knew his history. He was a great storyteller and I learned so much from him. One of the best guides I have had.
Long day but interesting for history buffs!

A very long day (c12hrs) if you are staying in Hoi An. Guide was good, minibus was a bit tight and uncomfortable given the length of the day. I found the bus hadn’t been cleaned from the last trip (empty bottles left and wrappers left). Couple of the stops felt a bit pointless. However the trips to the temple and imperial city were good if you like your history of all things old. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Given the length of the day and lack of space of the bus, I probably wouldn’t recommend this to a friend unless they really wanted to see the imperial city.
Huey City is an unmissable experience!
Nayantara_K, Nov 2024
We had a memorable visit to the ancient city earlier this week. Everything went to plan. The tour operator was punctual, the vehicle was good and we were looked after very well. Mian, our guide, was very attentive and caring. She was well informed and gave us a lot of background information on all the locations we visited. We were given sufficient time to look around after Mian made the introduction. She also kept the group engaged with little quizzes and humorous tidbits. Lunch was excellent too. All in all, we had an enjoyable day experiencing a slice of Vietnamese history.

The Hue city tour was a terrific day trip from Da Nang. Our tour guide, Ray, was great at communicating the information regarding the various sites we were seeing. Exploring the citadel along with the tomb of Khai Dinh were the highlights of the tour. Thank you Ray for a wonderful tour of Hue!
Great tour in Hue.

All the sightseeing points were very interesting with the guide very informed and pleasant all through the trip. Our meal at a restaurant was very nice, however no aircon for such a hot day. Also can I suggest putting bottles of water for passengers in a esky.
Hot but absolutely amazing
Ngoc_T, Jun 2024
Awesome trip. Would recommend to everyone. Very knowledgeable guide and ample time to take pictures. Our guide Công or Ray was super helpful in accommodating us
Very good tour guide

Frank_S, Jun 2024
It was a very nice journey for us as a familiy of 4, perfect organization, thank you for the day, we can absolutely recommend this tour (despite it takes 12h in total from Hoi An)
Perfect transfer
camilo_m, May 2024
A perfect way to transfer to Hue. You pass by beautiful scenery, visit the main sightseeing, and have a nice lunch. Also perfect for a day trip from Hoi An
Many impressions to take home
Bernadette_S, Apr 2024
Very nice driver who went out of hiscway to get me to my hotel in the busy streets of Hoi An. Got to see lits of interesting sites.
Gorgeous and Intriguing
Peter_B, Apr 2024
The trip was enjoyable, Hue has so much more going for it than we realised. Our tour guide Ahn was knowledgable and made the experience relaxing with his great personality. Seeing the Tomb of the King and the Citadel were definite highlights Lunch was included and it was delicious and abundant. Highly recommend this tour.
Enjoy The Pleasures Of Hue
Stuart_Y, Apr 2024
It was a long hot day but well worth the experience to get a better understanding on the history of Vietnam
Excellent trip to Hue!
NAOMI_M, Dec 2023
Excellent trip to Hue despite the bad weather (raining almost all day..) Our tour guide Ben was very knowledgeable and I leaned a lot about Vietnamese history. He was also very kind and looked after us really well. The lunch was very tasty too. It became one of the unforgettable memories for me and my daughter. Thanks a lot!!
There is so much to see in Hue city with the Imperial Palace and the burial place of the king but you need a good guide

We had a terrible guide , felt like we were on our own , did not explain much just to bare minimum, was unenthusiastic, would not recommend the tour if she is your guide.
Excellent day at Hue
