Things to do in Mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc

Simon was our guide - clear and interesting explanation! to note that the drive to Hue is ~2 hours away with one rest stop. Attractions visited was ample to learn more about the historical importance of hue. The provided lunch was also very filling.

A great way to visit the many monuments of Hue. The staff is attentive and very considerate. They inform us when we arrive at the station where we want to get off and tell us the time the next one will arrive so we can continue our journey. Very good welcome.

Normally, I enjoy Vietnamese coffee, egg coffee, salt coffee, and coconut coffee. Today, I had a special opportunity to learn how to make coffee in Hue at the Phin coffee class with Uyen. I learned about the history of each type of coffee and the coffee-making process, which was not difficult at all and a lot of fun.

A wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. Thanh the host was excellent, and gave a talk on the perfume river history, and pointed out landmarks explaining what they were. The boat was pristine and staff very warm and friendly. Afternoon tea was delicious and beautifully displayed on a tiered stand. A highly recommended boat trip!

Had an amazing day tour to Hue exploring Vietnam's historical heritage! This was by far the best handled guided tour I've taken. Our guide, Tâm, messaged the pickup time in advance and met me right at the hotel entrance. We took the tunnel instead of the Hai Van Pass, but Tâm gave us a great history overview along the way, including a nice coffee break at a lagoon. The Highlights: Khai Dinh Tomb: Incredibly beautiful and unique architecture. Lunch: A wonderful group meal at a lovely hotel. Tâm perfectly handled my dietary restrictions. Thien Mu Pagoda: Stunning views and even better architecture. The Imperial Citadel: Amazing!! I’ve never seen such a beautifully restored palace. It was worth every bit of the heat. Quick Tip: The 2.5-hour drive is very comfortable and great for a nap. Definitely bring a hat and stay hydrated, as walking around the sites gets really hot. Overall, an incredible experience!

Great experience along the Perfume River. Our guide was excellent and provided great knowledge and insight into Hue and its history. The food was of good quality and there was enough offered to be a good sized afternoon tea. Very enjoyable experience.

I had a fabulous day with To and we ticked off so many places of interest in Hue. I could never have covered so much alone. To is a very good driver with great English and was very committed to making sure I had a great day. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was fresh and tasty. Even at the end of the day instead of taking me to the market he stopped at a grocery store for me to let me buy supplies I had mentioned I wanted to take home. There was enough time to see everything at my own pace and no rushing; just relaxing.

This was me and my husband’s first time signing up for a cooking class, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. Duck, our intructor was knowledgeable and attentive; she had an easygoing way of teaching that made everything feel approachable. It felt like we’re being taught by a close friend of ours. She also made my son feel comfortable. The house where was the class was held was nice and comfy; just a 15 min ride from the citadel. The dishes were delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and we left with full stomachs and happy hearts. I’d recommend this class to anyone, especially if it’s your first time trying something like this.

The day was really hot as it is already summer time but Hue Imperial City is really a sight to behold! the old buildings were preserved although some were already in ruins. The whole compound was wide and we enjoyed strolling around
