About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- MichaelL117650 contributionsMr Trung, superb private car driverMr Trung was the superb driver we had today for our private car trip from Sapa to Hanoi. He negotiated the steep, difficult road down from Sapa to the Expressway with great skill as there have been many landslides there with all the recent heavy rain. He then showed great patience with all the bike riders to get us safely to our hotel in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. Excellent driver and service, Mr Trung. Thank you, Ann & Michael LewisWritten 3 October 2024
- lichennt0 contributionsA great trip driven by HauTook the private transport from Hue to Hoi An, driven by Hau. Our requests for the stopovers were all met. Hau had also recommended lunch place for us which is not too touristy, enjoy the lunch đź‘Ť More importantly we were given ample time at each stopover and he is always patience waiting for us even we are late on the time given to us. He never forget to offer us water when we back from stopover. Would recommend him to those who's looking for private transport like us. A big thank you to Hau!Written 29 September 2024

- camdenm20140 contributionsGreat drive in super challenging conditions, very professional service throughoutWe arranged a Private transfer from Oxalis Tu Lan Lodge down to Hue after our Oxalis experience. We changed pickup times and the number in our group and Culture Pham was super accommodating. Mr Hau came and picked us up right on schedule, even with a Tropical Depression growing into a Thypoon with torrential rain…and he got us to Dong Hoi to drop off our new friends and then onto Hue in the most professional and skilled driving manner I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. I recommend anyone looking for a great transfer to make use of Culture Pham, absolutely fantastic serviceWritten 19 September 2024

Booking easily done through WhatsApp, payment with credit card smoothles and excellent help in finding the right location of the boat. Nice people sailing the boat.

- JulieAugustSeptember0 contributionsGreat fun - super friendly guide and driverAwesome!! We did book a private transfer for Ba Na Hills, Lady Buddha and Dragon Bridge in Danang. Hau was our driver and he was super friendly, sometimes also stopping just for us to take pictures of interesting things. He also asked if we wanted to have lunch and brought us to a super nice and delicious restaurant. Car was a Kia SUV, very comfortable and great A/C. Hau also provided water bottles throughout the day. Today, we did the Hoi An countryside tour again with Hau as our driver and Sinh as our tourguide. It was great fun! We got to see a lot of Hoi An, the coconut forest and made our own lanterns. Sinh speaks English very well, was friendly at all times and also took pictures for us. Both days were great and Hau was on time! Also tge booking process was super easy and they sent an email with driver, vehicle and phone number information both evenings before the tours. A big thank you to Hau and Sinh!Written 12 September 2024

- 111Florin0 contributionsA perfect way to spend one day from HoianHue is a superb place, and the tour was perfect organised. Even it's 2.5h away from Hoian, it's with taking it. The Imperial palace, the Buddhist pagoda, the last king/emperor tomb, and not be forgotten the picturesque pass with incredible views. Mr Liu, the driver, was very kind, attentive and discrete, found the best spots to stop fur perfect photos and for good breaks. Smoothly drive, relaxing. The local guide, Ms Ha is such a nice person, knowledgeable, cool down, having the best pace of the visit, teaching me and showing me a lot of interesting details and places in Hue. Great tourWritten 5 September 2024

Experienced a beautiful sunset along with a delicious dinner of all local foods prepared by the lovely boat owner. Ms Van gave us a lot of history of the area and we had very pleasant conversations during our meal. The cycle ride to the dock was fun! Be sure to book this wonderful relaxing evening while in Hue and ask for Ms Van to be your guide!Written 30 August 2024
- htafc660 contributionsSmooth transferAn overall great experience for our trip from Hue to Hoi An with plenty of stops on the way. Our driver, Mr Hao, made an excellent recommendation for lunch at Lang Co Lagoon. Mr Hao was also happy to let us spend as much time as we wanted at each stop and we were never under pressure to rush.Written 30 August 2024
- carentalf0 contributionsGreat day trip to Hue from DanangHue is truly stunning. The Imperial Palace, reminiscent of Beijing's but with fewer crowds and a more authentic feel, is worth the visit on its own. Add in the serene Pagoda and the impressive King's Tomb (our personal favorite), and you’ve got an unforgettable day. Our driver was fantastic—picking us up at one hotel and dropping us off at another to suit our plans, with a few scenic stops along the way. The guide was knowledgeable, enjoyable, and very flexible. Highly recommend this experience!Written 29 August 2024

We stayed in Hue and booked this private city tour. It easy such a great tour. We really enjoyed it! With this city tour, you can start the tour at any time and you also can customize the tour following your requests as well. We just did the Huế citadel, Thiên Mụ pagoda and Khai Dinh Royal tomb. They all beautiful and must see places. Lunch was good and they care about our food allergies well. Highly recommended!

I came across Culture Pham travel agency through research on various websites on reviews from people who said they provided local authentic Hue tours. I messaged them through WhatsApp and booked directly through the owner and the service and advice he provided was phenomenal and valuable. We decided to go with the private city tour and even though it was just the two of us, we are so happy we did it that way. The car we had was very nice and our local guide Mr. Long not only took us to the beautiful must see sights with insightful history, but also took us to a local artisan coffee shop once he found out we love coffee. It was the best coffee I've ever had and not a tourist in sight. Those special touches is what made this tour special to us and we were so impressed we booked another tour the next day. It was a great way to experience Hue and maximize the limited time we had. I highly recommend this tour, look up culute Pham and book through them directly!

We booked this trip very last minute and the company were very accommodating. We even arranged a later pick up because we didn’t fancy the 7.30am start. So we were picked up at 9am and dropped back at 7.30pm. The weather wasn’t great but we still enjoyed the Hai Van Pass, stopping a couple of times to take photos. Coffee stop at Lang Co lagoon was very picturesque. Picked up our guide Huang in Hue. Huang has a deep knowledge of the Hue history and provided us with a fascinating running commentary as we explored the historical sites of the City. The lunch break was an excellent selection of Vietnamese dishes. They provided my daughter with a vegetarian selection with no trouble at all. A special mention for our driver, Lep. He was very careful and we felt safe at all times. Also, in my dozy state when he dropped us off, I had left my jacket and phone in the car but he spotted them and saved me a lot of hassle.

Wonderful Hue private city tour vs Culture Pham Travel. We had a great day tour in Hue visited Hue Imperial Citadel, 9 holy cannons, 9 dynasty urns, royal lake, royal garden as well as royal theater. Our guide Mr. Long was so knowledable and accommodating. We visited Hue royal tombs Minh Mang and Khai Dinh. They were fabulous and I really love the ancient stories about Minh Mang royal tomb from Long. Thank you so much for a lovely memory.

We had an amazing time on this trip to Hue. Trung, our driver did a fantastic job of getting us safely to Hue and back from Hoi An, and made the trip interesting and memorable with a steady commentary on local landmarks and driving habits (!) plus some great coffee along the way. Ruby, our Hue tour guide, gave us a really detailed overview of Hue's citadel, plus the pagoda and other monuments, and we had a great local lunch along the way. Absolutely recommend this if you want a great one day tour of Hue's landmarks by people who know their stuff, know how to keep you safe and comfortable and are just all-around nice folks!

Fantastic full day tour exploring Khai Dinh Tomb, Minh Mang Tomb, Hue Citadel and Thien Mu Pagoda + a dragon boat trip (and lunch). Our guide Xi was incredible, providing lots of interesting information and historical context, and going out of her way to chat to our teenage daughters and create a fun and engaging experience (plus helping us barter for and buy a new suitcase). Our driver Mr Hau was very helpful and the booking experience was great - quick responses with concise info. Highly recommended!

I booked a private tour to visit the tombs during the afternoon for a group of 5.
Mr. Hoa (sales manager) was really helpful with providing different options and prices. Best part is they went to pick up our luggage at the hotel and after the tour dropped us at the airport, thus making us save a lot of time. Car confortable and clean.
The guide was helpful, with a great knowledge on the history of the country. However I would have liked a couple more of explanations on architecture.
Overall trip went very well and we felt we were taking the most out of the experience. Would recommend to others!

We did the perfume/Tien mu pagoda with Hoa. Hoa shared very interesting historical stories with us and we managed to catch a very beautiful sunset. There was a personal touch to Hoa's service and it was a joy having him with us. We enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Would highly recommend Hoa and his team!
