Full description
Discover the sights and sounds of Hue, the former Imperial capital of Vietnam. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city sits on the banks of the delightful Perfume River, where you will find amazing citadels, fabulous palaces, and royal tombs. Many of the sites can be reached by river, and on this full-day private tour a boat cruise is part of the program. You will be picked up from your hotel by your guide, who will take you down to the river for your cruise. Sail along the romantically named Perfume River, seeing Hue’s best-known religious sites, such as the Thien Mu Pagoda. Continue your journey by land, visiting the Imperial Citadel, from where the Nguyen Dynasty ruled between 1802 and 1945. See the Flag Tower, Noon Gate, 9 Dynastic Urns, 9 Holy Cannons, Thai Hoa Palace, and the Forbidden Purple City. After a break for lunch, visit Khai Dinh King’s Tomb and discover the blend of Western and Eastern architecture. Then visit Tu Duc’s Tomb, where one is sure to be impressed by the majesty and symmetry of the architectural constructions. Continue to conical hat village, an incense stick-making village. The guided tour will give you a deep understanding about the king’s philosophy of geomancy, and how this affected royal life.

We had a nice day with our guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a good way to hit the highlights of Hue in a single day. We were the only people on the tour which made for a very personal experience. At the market we were brought to a clothing stall that seemed somehow affiliated with the tour and experienced some pushy sales tactics for mediocre-quality merchandise at a high price. Given the amount we paid for this tour, that felt inappropriate and left a bad taste in our mouths. Cut this part of the tour and we would have felt much better.

Our tour with Taun was great! He always had the driver ready for us which was great on a rainy cold day. He took lots of pictures for us and gave us a great tour of his home city. He helped us negotiate during our market tour and was a wealth of historical knowledge of the area.

We loved this tour and had such a great time! Our guide Xi was fantastic: she was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun, spoke great English and was so kind. We were worried about travelling with our 1 year old child but Xi (and our tour mates) were so kind and helpful to her and made it perfectly workable, we needn’t have worried at all. All of the sites we visited on the tour were very interesting and we left with a much better understanding of Vietnamese history and culture. Lunch included various courses of Vietnamese dishes. This was a great tour, don’t hesitate to do it! And you’ll be very lucky if you get Xi as your guide :)
