Very reliable travel company
I contacted Tommy to arrange private tours and he was very responsive. As we are traveling with an elderly, Tommy helped me to design a customised 7D6N private tour in Hoi An/Hue/Da Nang for 3 of us. We love the pace of the trip, spending 2 nights in each city. He organised different tours and activities for us and most appreciative that he personally checked on us daily. His drivers and tour guides are professional and punctual. As there is a heat wave now, the guides were highly flexible in the tours, so that we were in shaded areas whenever we can. They took very good care of us. Highly recommended for you to engage his travel agency for tours! I found him through the internet and I hope you will enjoy his service too.
Response from the operator: Dear Jen and Family, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your 7-day journey through Hoi An, Hue, and Da Nang. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed pace of the trip and that our drivers and tour guides took good care of you throughout your stay, especially during the recent heat wave. Your comfort and enjoyment are always our top priorities. Thank you for trusting us to organize your Vietnam holiday. It means a lot that you found us online and chose our team. We greatly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you, your family, and friends back to Central Vietnam again in the future. Warm regards, Tommy

Response from the operator: Dear Jane and Cameron, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the private tours and had a great day exploring with our guide Tien. She will be delighted to know that his knowledge and English made the experience more enjoyable and that each stop kept you engaged throughout the day. We truly appreciate you choosing our service, and it was our pleasure to show you around Central Vietnam. We hope to welcome you back again for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Tommy Tommy Dao Tours

Hoian to Hue
I contacted Tommy Dao to organise a trip for us from Hoian to Hue, Tommy crafted us a fabulous trip from our accomodation in Hoian to Hue, Tommys communcation was 20/10 . Tommys driver Tien picked us up and drove us over the Hi Van pass and gave us some history of the area, If you are in this part of Vietnam you musy do this road, its full of rich history, On to Lang Co for a well earned coffee break and yes the coffee is as amazing as the rest of Vietnam. On to Hue , Tien is a safe driver and friendly and helpful. He picked us up the next day and bought us back to our accomodation. Mission accomplished, Thanks Tommy and Tien, we loved our time away with you. Run, dont walk to book a trip with Tommy Dao, you will love it.
Response from the operator: Dear Tracy, Wow… reading your review truly made my day! Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for trusting me to organise your journey from Hoi An to Hue. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the drive over the legendary Hai Van Pass — it really is one of the most scenic and historic coastal roads in Vietnam. The views, the stories, and that fresh mountain air make it such a special experience. And of course, a coffee stop at Lang Co is always a perfect idea — I agree, Vietnamese coffee never disappoints! Tien will be very proud to read your kind comments. He is not only a safe and careful driver, but also genuinely enjoys sharing local history and taking good care of our guests. I’m delighted everything went smoothly and that your return journey was just as comfortable. “Run, don’t walk” — I love that! Thank you again for your support and recommendation. It was truly our pleasure to be part of your time in Central Vietnam, Warm regards, Tommy Tommy Dao Tours

Excellent tour of Hue
Tommy's guide Linh is excellent. This is my 2nd time (god-daughter's family 1st) to the Citadel and I learnt alot more & see more of the place than with with previous tour. I am glad I used Tommy Dao Tours this time. Following our overnight train from Hanoi, we stayed at the White Lotus hotel on Tommy's recommendation. Glad we did, learnt alot more about Hue. Linh met us at the train station & took us for the best BBH breakfast before going to the Citadel & city tour. She also took us to the best local restaurant for lunch. Next day, Tommy arranged to pick us & took us to Hoi An via the Haivan Pass and oyster farm.
Response from the operator: Dear Vida, Thank you so much for your sharing the experience of the tour in Hue and our professional guide Linh ( local guide in Hue for many years). She is our main tour guide for customers who book us Hue city tour and stay in Hue. She knows everything there to take customers to cafe, local food and importantly explain well Nguyen Dynasty in Hue. Glad to know Family had an amazing time! Looking forward to having you again next year! Tommy

Magnificent Hue tour!
Our Hue tour was exceptional! Tommy went above and beyond, making sure everything was perfect for our tour and our guide Ms Linh was wonderful, she was an absolute wealth of knowledge and taught us so much about the history of Vietnam. Our driver Hoàng was lovely, very friendly and an excellent driver, pointing out lots of things along our drive to and from Hue that we would have otherwise missed. Highly recommend this Hue tour, it was enchanting and a highlight of our trip!
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Dave, Thank you so much for your wonderful review after using all our private tours in Hue and transfers from Da Nang to Hue and Hue to Hội An. Glad to know your family had a fabulous experience with our team. Tommy

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Nang.
How much does Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Da Nang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Da Nang is not rushed.
Is Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Da Nang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Da Nang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Da Nang and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Private Hue City Tour from Da Nang or Hoi An start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Da Nang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Da Nang?
+
On Outty we rank every Da Nang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills Small Group Tour, Marble Mountains - Am Phu Cave - Monkey Mountain Sunset tour, Lady Buddha, Marble Mountains, Coconut Jungle & Hoian City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Da Nang?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Da Nang?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
