Hue, private tours
 
Looking for a reputable private tour guide for these sights in Hue:-

Hue Imperial City
Tomb of Minh Mang
Tomb of Tu Duc
Tomb of Khai Dinh
Tu Heiu Pagoda
Thien Mu Pagoda
Dong Ba Market - this is not an important stop

Any suggestions which companies to contact or which guides to contact will be appreciated. We only have one day in Hue and would like a good quality private tour.

If we can't book a good private tour guide, should we hire a private car and driver and hire guides at the sights. Are guides easily available at the sights?

Please let me know which order it's best to see the sights. We are in Hue on a Saturday.

Thanks in advance.

Either book through your accommodation who have a vested interest in getting it right or consider booking in advance with Hue Private Excursions. Some friends used them and were very happy. There will be guides for hire at the citadel and some of the tombs but generally they are not great and not worth it.

Most tours will be a combination of car and boat. Boat for the Pagoda and couple of sites along the river. Car for the tombs. If you can try and finish your visit tomthe citadel around lunch time and eat at Lac Thien for the best Banh Xeo in Vietnam! Some detail on our blog @ https://accidentalnomads.com/2015/07...ue-via-hoi-an/ . Be sure to visit the right Lac Thien - there are two next to each other.
