5.00Train ride is partial way to Hue. Beautiful scenery and then once off the train about an hour in the bus. Tom was a very patient and kind guide. The Imperial pillage is beautiful. No restrictions on what you can wear. Later went to the pagoda and tomb (lots of steps here). Also had a really nice. Vietnamese lunch that was included. Fun day overall.
A lovely, worry-free, introduction to Vietnam’s Imperial history, beautiful geography, rich culture and cuisine.

Hue Full Day Train Tour

5.00Our day tour to Hue by train with Mariana was great. Picked up on time at our hotel and driven to the train station in Danang. Our one hour 30 minute train ride to Hue was very comfortable and the views were breathtaking. A relaxing way to start the day. We saw lots of old sights, had a plentiful lunch in a local restaurant and our final stop was at the kings tomb. A 2 hour bus drive back to Danang completed the day. Mariana was fantastic. Her English is excellent and she was very personable with a great sense of humor. Thank you also to our driver who was always waiting for us.
Fantasic day
