What To Expect
Hue Imperial City (The Citadel)
Visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site Your private, English-speaking guide will be waiting for you at your port of choice with a smile and welcome sign! Once you’ve exchanged greetings, you’ll transfer to a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for your exploration of this culturally rich region. The former seat of the Nguyen Dynasty and Vietnam’s capital city up until 1945, Hue is a fascinating city with much to explore! Our first stop is, of course, the Citadel where the last king of Vietnam, Bao Dai, stepped down on August 30th, 1945. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is guarded by an ancient moat and thick stone walls. The vast Citadel encompasses the Imperial City, Forbidden Purple City, and the Royal Theatre, so stretch those legs and get ready for a morning of exploration!
Tomb of Tu Duc
Visit a Local! Making our way well off the tourist track, we’ll visit Thuy Xuan Village, a time-honoured craft village in Hue, known for colourful incense sticks, which from afar resemble bouquets of flowers. Here, you’ll also have the opportunity to gain a fascinating insight into the skill of conical hat making, guided by friendly local people. Next up is the tomb of King Tu Duc, the most popular and impressive of all the royal mausoleums. It houses courtyards, pavilions, temples, and chambers. Your tour guide will tell you all about its fascinating history and the king’s life of imperial luxury, from his 104 wives to the unfortunate ending for the 200 burial servants!
