Booking arrangements throughout with Mr Peter Pham was very timely, professional and effective. Peter offered advice about our itinerary which we listened to and recommendations on where to eat and have tailored clothes made in Hoi An. We booked a a private tour which covered 3 days. Day one we were collected from our homestay in Hoi An, driven through Hal Van Pass to outside Hue where we visited 2 contrasting Royal
Temples, we were taken to our Hotel, collected in the morning and taken to the Citadel. After this we were driven North across the DMZ, along Hoi Chi Minh Trail into Northern Vietnam for 2 night stay in Don Hoi a seaside resort. An early start on our last day and we were taken to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National to visit the fantastic Paradise Cave and then to embark on river cruise to Phong Nha Cave. Returning back to our resort for time to relax on our last day of private tour. Our appointed private driver over these days was Sam who was just excellent, always on time and waiting for us when we toured the places we wanted to visit. Sam had a very good understanding of English and speaks it very well. We were able to ask him anything and we learnt such a lot about Vietnamese history, its culture, cuisine and family life. We felt very comfortable with Sam, very friendly, easy going and knowledgeable. He does his job very well and made this part of our Vietnam Adventure just fantastic. Thanks

During our Asia cruise in December 2019 we had a one day stop at the port of Chan May. Our Guide Peter picked us up directly in the port of Chan May - very close to the cruise ship. The climate Minivan was very clean and comfortable, cold water bottles and refreshment towels were always available and the driver Lee was a very save and forward-looking rider.
Starting at 10:00 am, our tour led us to the lagoon of Chan May, the Hai Van pass, the city of Da Nang, and the marble mountains up to the city of Hoi An. During the ride we stopped at breath taking viewpoints to oversee the beautiful area of Chan May and their impressing beaches. At very touristy places like the marble mountains, Peter miraculously managed to guide us in such a way that we had the feeling to see the sights alone. A very special moment was the walk through Hoi An after sunset, the whole area of the river and the surrounding houses were dipped in the orange, yellow and red light of the lanterns which were glimming in the river. This was one of the “once in a life time moments” you will never forget.
At 8:00 pm we returned save and perfectly in time back to the port.
Peters excellent English and his detailed know how, the perfect way of explanation amongst by using also his tablet to show us a lot of photos and maps to support his speech made the tour so special. The time management and the selection of the visited places were excellent. The communication via mail and whatsapp worked all the time fast and easy. We can highly recommend Peter and his service to get a prefect view inside Vietnam.

My wife and i booked a tour with Hue Private Excursions 6 months before visiting in November 2017. From my first contact, Peter was very engaging and helpful in putting together a private tour. We agreed on an itinerary and counted down the days.
Peter contacted us before we left the UK to confirm all was arranged. When we arrived in port of Chan May, Peter and driver were waiting for us and welcomed us into a lovely air conditioned vehicle, with plenty of water available.
Our tour took in the Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, Minh Mang Tomb with a dragon boat ride and a lovely lunch included.
Peter is very knowledgeable about Vietnam and has some amazing stories to tell of the war and general history. More than anything Peter made us feel like one of his family while taking us round on our tour, something we still talk of and miss today.
Peter also took us to a cafe for a traditional Vietnamese coffee. The cafe was made up of memorabilia from the Vietnam War!! WOW we didn't expect to find something like that. AMAZING!!
Our tour ended by Peter ensuring that we made it back in plenty of time for our ship to depart.
Thanks Peter and Hue Private Excursions.
PS - We are booked to return to Chan May in January 2021 and have booked Peter again to take us to new and exciting places. Cant Wait.
Cannot recommend highly enough. Peter you are a credit to Vietnam Tourism Services

After reading such great reviews about Peter on Trip Advisor, I contacted him to arrange our 5 days leg of Vietnam. Even though I contacted him one year before the date of arrival, he always replied within 24 hours and we kept in touch over the year refining my trip to accommodate my wishes
I wanted someone who could show me Hue and Hoi An but also show me the real Vietnam not just the tourist sites. He was brilliant!
Each day Peter and his driver Trang met us promptly each morning in a large SUV with cold water and supplies.
At all times Peter had a tablet with him, filled with photos so that at a special place i.e. Da Nang beach, or the DMZ or the walls around the palace, he would show us pre war photos and those taken during the conflict. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the region AND he spoke excellent English
He is a supremely professional guide who recognises what his clients want and then endeavours to give you just that. Apart from touring Hoi An and the Imperial Palaces of Hue etc, we went into the countryside and spent a morning fishing with the locals and an afternoon working with craftsmen. Along the way, at my request, we ate at local restaurants and even met a master chef at his house who create the famous delicacies of Hue.
For the rest of our journey around Vietnam, I also used private guides at each destination and whilst these were all good, Peter was GREAT. Our time with him was definitely the highlight of our vacation.

After a disappointing private cruise in Halong Bay, we arrived in Hue where we had booked a city tour and a tour to the DMZ with Peter. What a pleasant change it was! On day one, Peter gave us a comprehensive tour of Hue, rerouting accordingly to avoid big crowds, while finding the right balance between providing information and letting us explore the sites at our own pace. The next day's tour at the DMZ was also impeccably organized.Throughout the 2 days, Peter and his driver Thang showed enthusiasm, professionalism and pride in their work, giving us a great impression of their country. Thank you again. Highly recommended.

Our family of 4 including our two son’s, ages 9 and 14, had an amazing three day tour with Peter. From start to finish, our tour was perfect. Peter picked us up from the airport to begin our 3 day tour with him of Hue and Hoi An along with areas in between. We travelled for 15 day’s through Vietnam and Cambodia and by far, Peter was our favorite guide and the best guide of all. Peter is excellent with children and aside from his excellent guidance, he was always attentive, kind and considerate especially of our children’s needs. We are extremely grateful for our tour and his guidance. Look no further for a tour guide. We recommend Peter 150%. Thank you Peter for an amazing tour and wonderful memories!

Lovely day trip to Hue with guide Peter and driver Hom.
Arrangements were made promptly and efficiently over WhatsApp and Peter was very flexible in curating an itinerary according to my preferences.
Visited Minh Mang and Khai Dinh mausoleums, Thein Mu pagoda, hilltop vantage point over perfume river, Imperial Citadel, and had a nice evening stroll along the waterfront and Pho Di Bo walking street.
Peppered throughout were visits to small shops/family run restaurants for really good Hue cuisine and waterfront cafe for good viet coffee.
Peter was very knowledgeable as well, sharing the history of Vietnam (from minutiae of the Nguyen dynasty to Tet offensive and the Vietnam/American (perspective dependent) war), about Viet cuisine (explaining difference between pho and bun bo) and even the etymology of the Viet language.
Highly recommended and will procure his services if ever in central Vietnam again!

It was the first time I looked for a private tour guide for my travel trip in Vietnam. I think this was a good decision made especially Anh Thuan's great personality and his professional services have made the trip even more memorable.
Despite the short notice of less participant and delayed flight, Anh Thuan was able to adjust the schedule just in time to make sure the tour still customised based on where we would like to visit and what kind of activity we would like to have. Thank you so much for your waiting at the airport for hours to welcome us, briefed us the schedule for the next day and made sure we succeed to check-in our accommodation before he left.
During the 3 days 2 nights trip, Anh Thuan was more to be like a brother or friend to us rather than a tour guide. He is flexible and offered options to us where to go, what to do and what to eat. Besides, he is a good story teller sharing the history of Vietnam as well as his family life. Moreover, his sense of humour and photo taking ignited the laughter of whole trip.
Last but not least, great thanks to you and driver uncle. For sure, we shall meet again soon.

My family and I had a 2-day tour with Peter Pham. Our tour covered a considerable amount of Hue proper and the countryside. Peter was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who guided us through an immense amount of Vietnamese history from the Nguyen dynasty to the present day. He was very personable and we thoroughly enjoyed his anecdotes between sights. It would have been very difficult to cover the ground we covered in the Imperial City without his guidance. The fishing village portion of the tour was also very enjoyable. We highly recommend him for anyone visiting Hue!

We planned a tour with Peter, who came highly recommended by friends, and unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus and changes in our cruise ship itinerary, we had to cancel our trip.
Over the many months of planning, I sent numerous emails to Peter asking lots of questions and he always responded quickly and offered many suggestions. I always say that you can tell a lot about a company or tour guide by their pre-sales work.
I was very sorry and sad to cancel as I was looking forward to our trip and to finally meet Peter.
