About this experience
Explore the ancient capital of Vietnam on a full-day guided tour from Da Nang or Hoi An to Hue — a city steeped in royal heritage and natural beauty. Travel along one of the most breathtaking coastal roads in the country, with scenic stops at Hai Van Pass, Lap An Lagoon, and the pristine Lang Co Beach. If raining heavily, we will skip the pass.
Step back in time as you visit the majestic Khai Dinh Tomb, an extraordinary fusion of Eastern and Western architecture. Savor a delicious Hue-style lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to the heart of Vietnam’s imperial past.
In the afternoon, explore the Hue Imperial City, the former residence of the Nguyen Dynasty, and admire architectural landmarks like Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace, and the Nine Dynastic Urns. End your cultural journey at the peaceful Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue’s iconic spiritual site overlooking the Perfume River.
