Delve into the history of Vietnam on this complete guided tour of the ancient capital: Hue. Explore the imperial tombs, the Citadel and the Thien Mu Pagoda, concluding with a sunset dragon boat ride on the Perfume River.

Tour the Imperial City

At the indicated time, pickup will occur at your hotel in Hue for a full tour of Hue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. The tour begins with a guided visit to the Imperial City, home to the Nguyen dynasty from 1892 to 1945, showcasing artifacts including the Hien Lam Pavilion, Nine Imperial Urns, and The Mieu Palace. The rich culture and architecture will engage you.

Next, explore the Purple Forbidden City, a secluded area within the citadel for the emperor and visit the royal library, garden, and theater.

Then, visit Thien Mu Pagoda, the oldest in Hue, built in 1601. Its garden features a historic car used by monk Thich Quang Duc during his protest. A story that resonates deeply.

Following this, a scenic cruise on the Perfume River to the city center includes a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Afterward, tour the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc, a highlight of the Nguyen dynasty, and visit Thuy Xuan village, known for incense and conical hats.
