Experience City Tours in Hue with Withlocals

"Chị Du was a truly wonderful guide and made our time in Huế so special. She was warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, and she shared fascinating details that felt tailored to our interests rather than scripted. Every question we asked was met engaging, funny, and fascinating answers. She really made the history come alive in a way that was both fun and easy to follow. She was also incredibly patient and generous with her time, and spoke excellent English and Vietnamese to make sure everyone felt included and comfortable. On top of that, she was amazing at helping us take photos, pointing out great spots and making sure we captured the moment without ever feeling rushed. The three hours flew by so quickly because the tour was both educational and genuinely enjoyable. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Huế, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly, highly recommend!!"

"We had the pleasure to follow Du during this visit. We really enjoyed our time with her and especially appreciated that she didn't just make us do a tour but also took time to share her culture with us and answer all our questions. 100% recommended !! Valentin and Sara"

"Matthew was an amazing guide. We brought our three year old and were unsure how he would tolerate sightseeing. But Matthew was wonderful with him. He quickly learned what interests our son; and expertly balanced history for the adults with opportunities for our son to rest and play. Matthew has a history degree and it shines through. He had a fascinating answer for everything, from the upbringing of Ho Chi Minh to the political history of the Vietnamese language. We’d recommend Matthew to everyone. "

"We had a great time, learned a lot, were able to ask questions and got proper answers. She was super hospitable and with humor. We absolutely recommend her to anyone that is interested in a guided tour!"

"We had a fabulous time with Du! She is super engaging and made our time in the imperial city and forbidden city terrific. Her stories about the significance of what we were seeing were great - she is very well informed about her city and its history. Could not have asked for a better guide. "

"We decided to book a guide at the last minute and felt incredibly lucky that Du (pronounced “You”, as we learned) was available that afternoon. I honestly can’t imagine a better guide if you want to absorb local history and culture from someone who grew up in the region. Du is engaging, easy to understand, and radiates wisdom beyond her years. Her depth of knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. The Imperial City already feels like the set of a period drama, but Du’s storytelling and eye for detail truly brought it to life. After visiting the pagoda, she led us to a few tucked-away local eateries we never would have found on our own to share some of her favourite dishes. It was one of the best meals of our trip! Highly recommend! "

"We made a late call to arrange a tour of the Imperial City, lucky for us Matthew was available and confirmed straight away. We had not used With Locals before so were a little apprehensive about using a new company. However what a great decision. Matthew was outstanding, even helping us with info on where to eat the day before our tour started. His enthusiasm and expertise on the background and historical significance of the events leading up to the eventual abdication of the last King were enlightening and entertaining. It would be hard to imagine a better day exploring and learning about this slice of Vietnamese history. If you have the opportunity, definitely pick Matthew to be your guide. "

"Du was fantastic. Extremely accommodating of our specific needs (my husband was in a wheelchair) and our interests. We highly recommend her. "

"My wife and I loved spending the morning with Du as she guided around the Imperial City giving us thoughtful and fascinating insights, and patiently answering our questions. She is a friendly, intelligent and kind young woman, and we would not hesitate to recommend her tours to anyone. Thank you for making our experience so memorable Du! Steven and Elaine "

"Du is amazing! She seems to know the history of every brick in the imperial city. Her vast knowledge of everything Hue related will turn your memorable trip into an unforgettable one. And here's a tip: ask about the motorbike tour as well..."
