-
Thien Mu PagodaThe seven-storey Phuoc Duyen tower stands above the Perfume River in front of a working monastery founded in 1601. On every option you reach it by private dragon boat one way and by car the other. The walk is flat and short, and there is no entrance fee. Your guide explains the pagoda's part in the Nguyen story and in more recent Vietnamese history.
-
Perfume RiverAbout thirty minutes on the water between the city pier and Thien Mu Pagoda, on a dragon boat booked for your group alone rather than a shared tourist boat. Included on all three options. You are seated the whole way, so it is the easiest part of the day for anyone who would rather not be on their feet in the heat.
-
Hue Imperial City (The Citadel)Two hours inside the walled Citadel, seat of the Nguyen emperors from 1802 to 1945 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide takes you in through the Ngo Mon gate and on to the Thai Hoa throne palace, the mandarin halls and the restored corners of the Forbidden Purple City, explaining who lived where and why the city is laid out the way it is. The entrance fee is included on all three options.
-
HueOn "Citadel, Boat & One Tomb" and "Citadel, Boat & Two Tombs" this is a sit-down lunch at a family-run restaurant. The menu is agreed with you on WhatsApp before the day and vegetarian or other dietary needs are arranged in advance. On "Citadel, Boat, Tomb & Hue Food" there is no single lunch stop: the eating is spread across the day instead, with banh khoai and nem lui after the Imperial City, banh uot thit nuong after Thien Mu Pagoda, and Hue salt coffee to finish. Food is included on every option.
-
Thuy XuanA roadside village of incense makers and conical hat makers on the way out to the royal tombs. There is no entrance fee and no charge to add it: tell your guide on the day, or when we confirm your route on WhatsApp, and we build in about thirty minutes. Available on all three options.
-
Mausoleum of Emperor Minh MangFinished in 1843 and the most formal of the three royal tombs: a symmetrical run of courtyards, gates, lakes and bridges set in gardens about twelve kilometres from the city. On "Citadel, Boat & Two Tombs" it is one of the two pairings you can choose, alongside Khai Dinh. On the other two options it is one of the three single tombs you can choose. The entrance fee is included.
-
Tomb of Khai DinhCompleted in 1931 and unlike anything else in Hue: blackened concrete and stone climbing a hillside, with an interior covered in glass and porcelain mosaic. Note that there are a lot of steps up to it. Visited on "Citadel, Boat & Two Tombs" whichever pairing you choose, and one of the three you can choose on the other two options. The entrance fee is included.
-
Tomb of Tu DucThe largest and greenest of the three: pine woods, a lotus lake and a pavilion the emperor used for writing poetry while he was still alive. It is also the flattest to walk, which makes it the gentlest choice in hot weather. Paired with Khai Dinh on "Citadel, Boat & Two Tombs", and available as your single tomb on the other two options. The entrance fee is included.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
