About this experience

This itinerary is unique because it goes far beyond a classic Hue city tour, combining coastal scenery, imperial heritage, spiritual life, and everyday local culture into one well-paced journey. Starting at Lang Co Beach and Lap An Lagoon offers a rare seaside and lagoon perspective that most Hue tours skip, before moving into the heart of the former imperial capital at the Citadel. Instead of focusing only on well-known royal sites, the program balances lesser-visited, peaceful places such as Tu Hieu Pagoda and Vong Canh Hill, giving travelers quiet moments of reflection and panoramic views of the Perfume River. The inclusion of both Tu Duc and Khai Dinh tombs highlights the contrast between traditional and European-influenced imperial architecture, while the visit to Phu Cam Cathedral adds an unexpected cultural layer, showing Hue’s religious diversity.
