Hue Day trips

If you are interested in learning about Vietnam’s last emperor, you have to book this tour. It will be very hot so bringing an umbrella is a must. wear something that will protect you from the heat of the sun.

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!

we had a fantastic experience at the tour with Sam and team! it was our second time in Da Nang in last 3 years and this tour exceeded our expectations. Big kudos to Sam and team on the overall organised tour.

We had a great time with our Hue Imperial Discovery tour with our tour guide Kevin. Kevin, was very knowledgeable about Vietnam's history and he is also funny so the we never got bored during our whole trip. We also enjoyed our lunch and we love the authentic vietnamese foods. Kevin made sure that all our needs were catered well. It was a funtastic experience.

I really enjoyed this trip with my friends. We had Duc as our driver from Da Nang to Hue, and everything went very smoothly. All the places we wanted to visit were covered, and Duc was polite, flexible, and happy to adjust the plan to suit our needs. Highly recommend!

everything good. lunch is cold and stale, no good. 😂 try afternoon tour, at least you catch sunset on boat. 9-11am at my son, so many people... had to run a little to group up again to keep to schedule. because of rice paper and boring lunch, little time at my son. because guide explaination is 60 min. 20 min walking. 20 min dance show. only 2 min left to close your eyes to feel the air and stones... because the other 18 min you have to run and rush to the other 2 sites beside the main one by speed walking. I think. if I could start over, id choose afternoon tour. because morning is so early and I did not have breakfast, so hungry. and rice paper making is a bit boring for my Chinese background plus lunch was 😕 so-so. I think it would be best to take your lunch and wake up late, relax, then do afternoon tour without the other 2 activities and no rushing plus sunset boat ride is way more beautiful... 🙃 than a 1pm ride 😅

beautiful places and commendable patience of the tour guide.

The guide explained the background and foundations of modern Vietnam with humor, allowing me to learn about its modern history in an interesting and objective way. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence, but there were also participants from Vietnam and related countries, which added depth to the discussions. While the cave tours had many Japanese and other Asian visitors, this tour primarily attracted people from Europe and North America. I believe this is a must-do tour if you visit Vietnam. The places we visited would be difficult to reach on my own, and the interactions with the guide and other participants made it well worth it. Furthermore, Hue is a beautiful and walkable city, so if time is limited, I think participating in the DMZ tour from Hue is more valuable than staying in Dong Hoi to visit the caves.

We had originally booked a Chinese small-group day tour, and luckily, it ended up being just us, which made the timing much more flexible. Our guide diligently explained many details about the emperors of Hue. It was very sunny and involved a lot of walking, so remember to use sun protection and stay hydrated.
