The well-preserved imperial castle, royal tombs, pagodas, and historic sites all attest to the city’s rich legacy. The UNESCO-listed Imperial City, a vast complex surrounded by defensive walls with palaces, temples, pavilions, and elaborate gateways that reflect the pinnacle of Vietnamese feudal architecture, is the focal point of Hue.

Another highlight are the several royal tombs that can be found across Hue’s outskirts. They are stunning examples of craftsmanship and design, and each one captures the essence of the emperor’s character and reign.

Hue, - We had a wonderful experience all the day. The guide was very professional. He talked English and explained history very well. We wanted to visit more tombs and it was not a problem to set this up. He was flexible on lunch as we wanted to try specific restorant which was not a problem as well. All the program went smooth and on time as we had to fly back from Da nang the same evening. I highly recommend this agency. The tour is amazing. The sights are so unique. On the way to Hue we passed the mountain and we drink coffee in the lagoon. We felt this long tour so relaxed. I have no remarks for the whole day. We were picked up in Hoi an which was not a problem to organise as well . You
