"Du took us on a very interesting tour all over the centre of Hue that included all of the best local specialities! We went into local restaurants that we would never have found independently, and she explained the food culture of the city very well. Du was very easy to chat with and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. Do make sure that you are hungry when you start the tour as the portions are generous!"
"Despite the the rainy weather we had a nice tour and much fun with Du. She speaks very well English, has a good sence of humor and is a nice person to have around. Highly recommended!"
"We booked a day tour with Du to visit Hue. We communicated beforehand to share some of the highlights we wanted to see. Du was very helpful in planning the tour, doing some advanced research for us, and making recommendations to ensure we saw a variety of sites. This was very helpful and much appreciated. Du grew up in Hue so she knows the entire area and all of the sites well.
Even though we were staying in Da Nang, Du was able to arrange a car to pick us up and take us around to all the sites. Du was very communicative with us about our pick up and ensured we were in the car and on our way. The driver took us across the Hai Van pass which was beautiful and we stopped for a quick coffee and some photos at the top. Once we arrived in Hue, Du met us at our hotel to drop our bags. She even brought us pastries as she knew we didn't have time to eat before leaving Da Nang.
We visited 2 tombs, both very different. Du was incredibly knowledgeable about the emperors of the Nguyen dynasty and shared some interesting details with us along the way. We also visited the Citadel, and again Du's knowledge of the history of the emperors their wives and their counsel was so helpful. We learned so much about Hue from her.
Du is a wonderful guide who knows Hue and its history incredibly well. We fit a lot into this day and she did a remarkable job as our guide. I highly recommend booking with Du for your tour to Hue. "
"We had a lovely afternoon walking around the Imperial Palace. Bích Du was friendly and informative as well as incredibly patient with our youngest child, fitting in a snack stop and even producing a gift. I’d highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the impressive palace and hear about its history and tradition. "
"We were six friends and family (from NZ) visiting Hue and wanted to see the Imperial Palace. Du was easy for me to contact and to organise our trip, but best of all, she was like meeting a new friend. We so enjoyed our time with her and her knowledge was extensive. I would definitely recommend her as a guide if you want to come away having learnt so much and having enjoyed her company."
"We are so pleased we discovered the 'Withlocals' app and that Thanh was free to offer us a guided tour of the Imperial Citadel. Thanh was so charming and friendly and her passion and knowledge of the citadel shone through. Her English is excellent and the pace of her tour was perfect. We never felt rushed but we saw all the key sights with time to stop for photos, rest break, wander a shop or two and ask Thanh lots of questions. It really didn't feel like we had only met that day - she was so lovely. Would highly recommend you book Thanh for a personal guided tour of such a wonderful place. Thank you Thanh!"
"Ms. Du was very attentive and took great care of us. She's friendly, caring and very knowledgable about the history of her hometown. Hue is rich in both cultural and culinary heritage. I had my best "Nem Lui" thanks to Ms. Du l's recommendation. She made our trip so much more enjoyable 👍🏻"
"It was a pleasure to be shown around the delights of Hue by Bich.
Full of interesting stories, easy to get on with and generous with the little extras that we didn’t expect, it left us with a deeper knowledge of the local area.
I would thoroughly recommend her.."
"Spent the half day in the imperial palace in Hue with our enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide Bich Du. Her English is excellent and her explanations are very good understandable. We had a great time and can only recommend her tour!!"
"Bích Du was easy to work with, customizing our time together to accomodate the heat and my physical restraints. She picked me up at my hotel and we were off! What I thought would be a standard look at the temples became a wonderful history lesson, with photo opps and backstories. She was funny and engaging, caring and interesting. I recommend her highly!"
