Hue Private Tour

TOUR OVERVIEW
The former seat of the Nguyen Dynasty and Vietnam’s capital city up until 1945, Hue still retains its imperial charm and many of its buildings are a testament to this era. Explore the city’s most important sites with the help of your English-speaking guide, such as the Citadel, the tomb of King Tu Duc, and the boat ride on the Perfume River! 

PICK-UP POINT
At the port gate of Tien Sa (Da Nang) or Chan May (Hue). The tour guide and driver will greet you with a sign of your full name and a fresh smile and take you for a brilliant day.

ITINERARY

• Our first stop is the Citadel, where the last king of Vietnam, Bao Dai, stepped down on August 30th, 1945. An ancient moat and thick stone walls guard this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The vast Citadel encompasses the Imperial City, Forbidden Purple City, and the Royal Theatre, so stretch those legs and prepare for a morning of exploration.
• Next up is the tomb of King Tu Duc, the most popular and impressive of all the royal mausoleums. It houses courtyards, pavilions, temples, and chambers. Your tour guide will tell you about its fascinating history and the king’s life of imperial luxury, from his 104 wives to the unfortunate ending for the 200 burial servants.
• The final leg of today’s tour takes us to the iconic, seven-storey Thien Mu Pagoda, the unofficial symbol of Hue city. From here, we’ll board a classic dragon boat and cruise down the Perfume River back towards the city (if our time permits) where your guide will take you back to your port in plenty of time.
