Highlights
  • Lap An Lagoon - Stop for taking photos
  • Tomb of Khai Dinh - Khai Dinh Tomb was the final architectural work of the Nguyen Dynasty. It is widely regarded as one of Vietnam’s most exemplary structures due to its innovative use of Western materials and designs.

The tomb’s location was exactly determined by feng shui experts at that time. Natural surroundings such as hills and streams are near the tomb, which was also according to geographical feng shui principles. It resulted in an awe-inspiring and spectacular landscape that we can see nowadays.

  • Thien Mu Pagoda - The Thien Mu Pagoda (also called the Linh Mu Pagoda) is a historic pagoda on the banks of the Perfume River in Vietnam’s historic city of Hue. Apart from their scenic riverside and hilltop location, the Thien Mu Pagoda and its environs are also rich in history, standing witness to almost four hundred years of tumultuous nation-building and religious belief in Vietnam.
  • Hue Imperial City (The Citadel) - The capital of Vietnam throughout the 19th and early 20th century was Hue, in Central Vietnam. The center of the Nguyen Empire still stands - the Hue citadel palace complex, with its high stone walls and the refined palaces and temples behind them, were the center of Vietnamese governance and politics during the Nguyen Emperors’ rule.

Amazing tour with incredible historic knowledge from local guide - 7+ stops!! - Had an lovely time on the Hue full day tour. Our guide Hieu (local to Da Nang) was an absolute delight and he was truly a highlight of the trip! Hieu was very knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam and had stories to tell us about all the sites. I especially appreciated the accommodations for AMAZING vegetarian food at lunchtime and the stop to see Tham Tree Oil production. Highly recommended this tour! Also, hotel pickup was included and it was very easy to communicate with the host prior to the tour for any questions. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Don’t book - description is not correct! - I booked this tour as it clearly states hotel pick up and drop off is included. But when booking I wasn’t given any option to let them know what hotel I’m at. So I contacted the tour company and after they checked my booking confirmation they asked me which hotel. When I told them, that’s when they said pick up and drop off was not included. I think they just can’t be bothered to pick me up. Maybe there’s a good reason there are no reviews for this tour...
