I picked this tour company Xuan Tu tours based on the many outstanding reviews. This was a day tour of Hue from Da Nang. Our guide was Thuy a very friendly and knowledgeable guide whose English was excellent. The day of the tour it was raining so we used the tunnel to get from Da Nang to Hue. I’ve been told that if the weather is nice the alternate route gives a great views but dangerous if the weather is bad and also a longer route. Our car/driver was excellent and very safe. The Khai Thinh tomb, Hue palace, and Thiên Mu Pagoda were the stops we made. Even with the rain the sightseeing opportunities were outstanding. A highlight of the tour was the lunch we had at a local Hue restaurant Ba Do. We tried several dishes such as: 1/ ram it – fried flour and shrimp topping; 2/ beo – rice milk steamed w/ shredded shrimp and pork skin; 3/ loc – tapioca & shrimp steamed; 4/ nam – rice milk shredded shrimp and pork steamed; 5/ bun bo – beef noodle soup. Thủy selected and explained every dish. I highly recommend this tour and Thuy as a great tour guide. Next time we are in Da Nang we will take the Hoi An tour.
