Hue, with its mix of history and modern life, is the gateway to the treasures of Vietnam’s royal past. But you are not taken on a stuffy history tour. Instead, you are getting under the city’s skin (and into its stomach) aboard local cyclos with plenty of stops for local food (and a bit of history) along the way!  After meeting your guide and getting a short briefing of the tour itinerary, head out on a relaxing cyclo ride to your first stop, where a tasty banh beo (steamed rice discs topped with shrimp) and ram it (sticky rice dumplings) await. Both of these great flavors will wake up your taste buds in a traditional way as you snack alongside local people.  Continue your tour with a beautiful ride across the elegant Perfume River via either Phu Xuan or Trang Tien bridge, to reach the Royal Citadel, where you’ll have a chance to try the tastiest crispy Hue pancake ever! In business for more than 20 years, the owner Hong Mai is well-known among locals for serving up the most delicious banh khoai, with a unique soybean dipping sauce and fresh herbs.  Next, stop for your third dish on this Hue food tour, Bun bo Hue, a typical Hue beef vermicelli soup. Located by the entrance of Dong Ba gate, this place is only open at 6:30 PM but with over 100 kilos of vermicelli and five big broth pots per day, it serves up a lot of bowls while it's open! Taste just how great this bun bo is, then cool down with a cold beer from a vendor nearby. Then, head to a small local snack shop where you’ll have the opportunity to prepare for yourself a typical egg rice cracker with beef or pâté on charcoal. This treat is a favorite dessert after a main meal for many locals, and this is a great place for you to indulge in a local experience and interact with the people of Hue.  Your Hue street food tour ends at a local coffee house where you will be immersed in the relaxing atmosphere while sipping a lovely tea or Vietnamese salty coffee (a Hue specialty).
