• 5Great driver!

  Sam was an amazing driver! He was incredibly informative, helpful, and made our trip so easy and enjoyable. He took us to all the spots we wanted to visit and was always easy to find whenever we finished exploring. We really appreciated his professionalism and friendly attitude throughout the day. Highly recommended!

• 3Beware. Premium price, no tour included.

  Sam was great. English very good. He was prompt and nice clean car. Perhaps it’s my fault for not reading the booking details more closely, but for $60 USD in Hue, I expected tours to be included. Instead he basically just drops you off and you go explore on your own. (It would be less per person if multiple people went in the same car, but still.) I told Sam and he said TripAdvisor or Viator gets a huge piece of that fee—30 or 40%—but at the end of the day, it was very expensive for what I got. I had to hire an additional tour guide inside the Citadel to show me around—200K dong or about $8USD to learn the history.

• 5Great tour with very helpful driver

  Our driver Sam was fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. As well as taking us to the key sites he took us to the local market in Hue and even helped us bargain for gifts just like the locals!

  We had super smart and nice driver Sam. He told us a lot of stories about Wietnam and it was even more interesting than highlights (which was exotic and beatifull).

• 5Private Hanoi tour from Halong Bay with Culture Pham Travel

  We went to Hanoi from Halon Bay with Culture Pham travel. Well organised, very comfortable, flexible and an all round great day out. The communication and booking process with Mrs Thu was super easy with really clear information and instructions. We were met by our driver Mr Hien who was very polite and professional and a very good driver particularly when we in Hanoi as the traffic is incredible. The 7 seater was immaculate and water provided, we even stopped for coffee on the way. We met our guide Mr Hieu who was really good, very experienced and full of interesting information. He guided us all day, either in the vehicle or on foot and was great fun with very good spoken English. He even took fantastic photos on his phone and transferred them all to us at the end of the trip. Hanoi is a must see city and we had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Many sights, loads of stories and background, traditional lunch, Train street (unbelievable) and a walk through downtown- amazing.

  I've had a very nice time with Hoa ! He drove me to the main attractions in Hue, gave me lots of advice and i've learnt a lot about Vietnamese history from him. He's also pretty funny too, so the whole tour was a great experience. I definitely recommend !

The Imperial City, inside the vast moated Citadel, was the seat of the Nguyen dynasty, Vietnam's last emperors. Its gates, palaces and temples, including the Noon Gate and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, partly restored after heavy damage during the war.
