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, and end the day with a sunset dragon boat ride on the Perfume River.

Tour the Imperial City

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Hue to start our full tour of Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.

We'll begin with a guided tour of the Imperial City, home to the Nguyen dynasty from 1892 to 1945. Discover artifacts that belonged to this royal family, including the Hien Lam Pavilion, the Nine Imperial Urns, and The Mieu Palace.

Next, we’ll explore the Purple Forbidden City, a secluded area reserved for the emperor, visiting the royal library, garden, and theater.

We’ll then visit Thien Mu Pagoda, the oldest in Hue, located along the Perfume River. Built in 1601, it features a historic car associated with the monk Thich Quang Duc’s protest.

Afterward, we’ll enjoy a scenic cruise down the Perfume River to the city center for a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Following lunch, we’ll visit the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc, and the vibrant village of Thuy Xuan, known for incense and conical hats. The tour concludes at the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh, notable for its blend of artistic styles.

Finally, after 7 to 8 hours exploring Hue's main treasures, we'll return you to your hotel.
