Return details
The tour ends after the last tasting stop, a short walk from Thuong Tu Gate inside the Citadel.

  • Meet your local guide at 15 Lê Lợi, on the south bank of the Perfume River. A short walk away is the first tasting stop, a small family kitchen where three generations cook side by side. Four dishes come to the table: bánh canh Nam Phổ (thick rice-noodle soup with crab and prawn), bánh nậm (flat steamed rice cake with prawn and pork, wrapped in a leaf), bánh lọc (chewy tapioca dumplings filled with prawn and pork) and ram ít (a soft sticky-rice dumpling on a crisp fried base). The cyclo option makes the same stops as the walking tour; the scooter option follows a different route, to places further from the city centre.
  • From the first tasting stop you walk along the south bank of the Perfume River and cross Truong Tien Bridge, the iron bridge that has linked the two sides of Hue for more than a century. There is no stop on the river; your local guide talks you across to the north bank, where the rest of the tour takes place. (pass by)
  • Dong Ba Market
    Dong Ba is the main market of Hue. When the group arrives while the market is still trading, your local guide walks you through it to see how traders make their living and how local families shop. On later departures the market has already closed for the evening, so you pass by it instead. Either way you taste bún hến (rice vermicelli with tiny river clams, herbs and peanuts), in the market or at an eatery close by.
  • You walk on into the Citadel, the walled old city where many Hue families still live. Here you sit down to bún bò Huế (the city's spicy beef and pork noodle soup, scented with lemongrass), served with fresh herbs on the side. This stop is in the residential streets inside the walls; it does not include a visit to the Imperial City.
  • Thuong Tu Gate
    Near Thuong Tu Gate, one of the old gateways of the Citadel, come two Hue favourites: bánh khoái (a crisp rice-flour pancake filled with prawn, pork and bean sprouts, eaten with a thick peanut-based sauce) and nem lụi (minced pork grilled on lemongrass skewers, wrapped in rice paper with herbs). The last stop is for chè Huế (sweet soups of beans, fruit and jelly), and the tour ends there.
