Full description

This well-preserved walled city is a must for those who love history, beautiful architecture, and Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. The day begins with a breathtaking journey from Hoi An through the Hai Van Pass. Once in Hue, the tour starts at Khai Dinh Tomb, a site that more closely resembles a palace than a grave. After visiting the equally impressive Thien Mu Pagoda, you enter the Hue Imperial City, known not only for its architecture, but for its beautiful landscaping. After the guided tour, try a delicious local lunch, wander the ancient temples, browse the visitors center, and stroll through the elegant gardens.

We were picked up at our hotel and traveled to Hue with our guide and driver. The drive was calm and the driver didn't use the horn once which for Vietnam was a pleasant surprise. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very talkative with excellent english. We stopped at the boarder between North and South as well as a few photo spots before arriving at the temple then the city. Was a great day.

Our Guide "Tom" was so cool, we learned do much about Vietnam. His English is very good and we couldn't imagine a better Guide for this Tour. We were only three people, so he has much time for our questions. The van arrived and drop us off in time. Tom bought us some Mango and Sandwiches as a snack between. The day was perfect and we would recommend the tour to everyone.
