A fantastic day - we were picked up from our place of choice in the city and driven to beautiful sights in Hue. Whilst on the journey, our driver (Mr Dzung) was really informative about the city and its history. He was great for the entire day! He waited whilst we took our time exploring each place, giving us facts about the places we saw. He also accommodated us and took us to a specific street food place we wanted and a cake shop when we wanted sweets.

Touring with Onyabike Adventures was the absolute highlight of my trip. They obviously put so much effort into finding unique ways to see the highlights of the Danang area. Feels so good to drive by the mass of tourists and go beyond to local spots which you basically have to yourself. I had so much fun with my driver Viet. He knew so much about the area and made me feel so safe and comfortable the whole time. Speaking of comfortable, the bikes are heavenly! I've done a few motorbike trips and this one is by far the absolute best one I have ever been on. The people, the bikes, the scenery - everything is fantastic!

We drove from Hue to Hoi An stopping at an Oyster Farm and Marble Mountain. Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy in the mountain pass (hai van pass). Luckily the sun came out as we were descending to Da Nang. David stopped so that we could take some breathing photos. Hoi An is a beautiful place with all of the lanterns and small streets with lots to discover. Our guide David was extremely knowledgeable on the history and everyday life in Hoi An. He was very forthcoming with guidance and suggestions on how to spend out three days in Hoi An. He gave us excellent dining suggestions and shopping tips. He even took us to a fantastic tailor. (BeBE tailor) where we had some clothes made in 24 hours. He got us excellent tickets to see the amazing Bamboo Circus. David always remained professional (he also have a great sense of humour) and pleasant to deal with. You could see that it was important to him to ensure that we totally enjoyed our vacation. We would not hesitate to recommend his services. You will not be disappointed. Thank you David we really appreciated having you as our guide!!

Discover some of the places through which Vietnam remembers the Vietnam War on this historical tour from Huê. Instead of exploring these memorials and landmarks with a distracting tour group and a guide reading from a script, explore these places at your own pace with a private guide. Visit landmarks like the Long Hung Church and Hien Luong Bridge, which marks the war's Demilitarized Zone, and go deep into the Vịnh Moc tunnels that many Vietnamese lived in during the war.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

The DMZ lay at the 17th parallel and was created by an agreement known as the Geneva Agreement. The DMZ was breached by the North Vietnamese Army when they constructed the Ho Chi Minh Trail that allowed for the transport of troops and supplies to the National Liberation Front in the south. Some of the war's fiercest fighting and bloodiest battles occurred along that line. Such areas as Khe Sanh, Con Tien, … are forever etched into the minds of the soldiers who fought there and survived.

I intended to go to the Citadel and Tombs independently. At the last minute I decided I wanted a guide to show me around and to explain the history. It was the best decision I made. I contacted the company directly and everything was so easy to arrange. My guide, Ms Fi was amazing. With her excellent English and local knowledge she was so informative. She was also able to answer any questions I had about the Imperial history. I was also really impressed that after mentioning I’m vegetarian, I was taken to a lovely vegetarian restaurant. I would highly recommend this really professional company (I’ll be getting touch for when I go to Hoi in a few days!).

Unfortunately due to Covid we were the only people on this tour, but that meant we could take things at our own pace. The places we visited were stunning, and although the weather wasn't great, we got some wonderful photos. Highly recommend this for a day of full immersion.

This activity offers a nice comfy excursion out of the busy city of Dalat to the countryside. The coffee shop which is part of this tour is quite nice to sit and drink a cup of coffee as it has some nice exposed view of the coffee farm. The falls are very nice. There are some walks down and up the elephant falls but it is worth it as you can get quite close to the waterfall and behind, underneath the fall! I also have to recommend it for the super nice guide, Tin Tin, humorous and knowledgable. I recommend it!
