Nice trip with very knowledgeable guide
Weather was hot, bring water. You should have an interest for old historie grounds or it may become boring.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your nice words about our tour guide and service. We always try our best to serve our lovely customers. Something about the weather and personal interest we really can not control and manage. Your 3 star review is not proper with what we served you and our service quality, and what we can not control, such as weather and personal interest. We respect your point of view, and we wish you all the best

Day trip to Hue
I cannot recommend this trip enough. I ended up being by myself as my husband was ill and the team, Ms Van and the driver looked after me really well and ensured I had a brilliant day. It was very informative around the historic areas and lots of time for photos. Lunch was very authentic in a lovely local restaurant. The boat tour on the perfume river was enjoyable, as was learning about the pagoda. The Hai Van Pass is also very scenic.

Truly informative tour
Deducted a star for the tourist trap stop along Hai Van Pass with the pearl jewelry shops. I speak Vietnamese and told them I wasn’t going to buy anything (not my style of jewelry), plus my husband and mother in law already bought 3 items at that very store—yet they still kept bugging me the whole time to “just buy one thing.” I got super annoyed and had to leave the shop and asked our driver to leave asap. We also had a stop at an incense shop, which was not pushy at all and very sweet for showing us how they make the incense sticks. Other than that, the Hue tour with Lily was absolutely fabulous!! Lily was a wealth of information at each stop and also during the drive to each site pointing things out. I found the details (both the good and the bad) about the emperor and his sons fascinating. Lily also spoke very clear English and was so sweet, sharing snippets about her family and sharing photos of our dogs. She is the epitome of a true tour-guide, I learned so much that day! Highly recommend this tour, just don’t go into the jewelry shops along Hai Van Pass.

Our driver was great!...
Our driver was great! Safe and took care driving. Our guide was also excellent. She was knowledgeable, had great English skills and answered all our questions. She let us go at our pace which happens to be quicker than the average. I would have no hesitation to recommend this day trip.

Very good place to visit.
Good experience. Beautiful place to visit. We have to cut short our visit because of our appointment in Danang. Our guide Tony see to it that we visit the best point of interest in the area. Our drive from Danang to Hue was great too because our driver gave us good information of the places we pass along the way.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Nang.
How much does Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 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 Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang?
+
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 Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang?
+
Around 12 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hue City Tour From Da Nang- Hue Day Trip From Danang 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.
