“We had a wonderful experience exploring Hue and the other landmarks. Sky was an excellent guide and he gave us great information about each landmarks as well. The food was great as well.

The ticket on the train was also on the opposite of the side of the view, so if that could have been handled in providing the window side of the view, it would have been a perfect trip.”
