Itinerary
Start your day with the Imperial City. Built in 1802 by the first king of Vietnam’s last feudal dynasty, the citadel was the living and working place of 13 Nguyen Dynasty kings. As you walk through the majestic gates, you’ll explore the Royal City, the Forbidden Purple City, and various areas that once served as the political and cultural heart of the Nguyen court. The intricate carvings, golden roofs, and dragon-shaped ornaments bring you back to the grandeur of imperial Vietnam.
Visit the Ancient Hue Garden House and explore the unique architecture and feng shui. Delve into the historical value of the residence and workplace of the Nguyen Dynasty’s officials.
Proceed to the Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the most sacred ancient pagoda in Central Vietnam. Explore the beautiful architectural works and listen to the history and mystical spiritual stories of the pagoda.
After the morning tour, board a dragon boat and sail down the Perfume River. Be immersed in the charming scenery and indulge in the traditional lunch of Hue.
After lunch, continue to the Thuy Xuan Conical Hat and Incense Village. Witness the radiant beauty of meticulously and skillfully displayed incense bundles lining both sides of the streets.
Next, visit the Tu Duc Tomb, renowned as one of the most beautiful works of the Nguyen Dynasty. With its refined architecture and picturesque landscape, the tomb was constructed to resonate with the romantic, dreamy yet profound and sagacious soul of this king.
Visit Vong Canh Hill, a favored spot for the Nguyen Kings to rest and enjoy the view. Known for its perfect beauty combining the mountains and rivers of romantic Hue, it is a great destination for relaxing.
Continue to the Khai Dinh Tomb, situated on Chau Chu mountain. Although the tomb is smaller in size compared to the tombs of other kings, it is meticulously crafted, blending the exquisite architecture and culture of both East and West.

We had the best time on the Hue Jeep Tour! Our tour guide, Thuan was amazing. He was so friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. The tour itself was incredible and such good value for money. One of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam- thanks to Thuan. Highly recommend!
It was the best way to know more about Huế history, culture, landscapes and cuisine in a limited time. Being a solo traveler, I was gladly joining the group of 20 people from different countries and really had a good time. The tour was cleverly designed that you can do a full or half day. The bus ride was quite comfortable. I did enjoy a Hue home cooked lunch on the dragon boat . The scenery, the historical architecture, the people were all beautiful. Our tour guide, Justin Nguyen, is a friendly, caring and responsible young man. Good value of money and I will definitely do it again next time with my family. Highly recommend!
Great visit with our guide Kien, thanks to which we were able to learn a lot. Always playful and dynamic, a pleasure to have him as a guide. Thank you very much for this great day!
My tour guide she is energetic and informative. She was very nice to the older travelers in the group even the tour is fast pace. She took us to all the places and as advertised even in the rain.
It was a wonderful tour around the city of Huế, covering all the main attractions in just one day and with plenty of time to explore each stop properly. Our guide, Hang, was fantastic—she shared Vietnam’s history and culture with us in clear English and added charming anecdotes along the way. The lunch was light but tasty. I’d happily do it all again!
