About this experience
Hue known as the capital city of Vietnam where Nguyen dynasty ruled from 1802 – 1945. Hue owes its charm partly to its location on the Perfume River – picturesque on a clear day, atmospheric even in less flattering weather. This location is also the destination of palaces, pagodas, tombs and temples, culture and cuisine, history and heartbreak – there’s no shortage of poetic pairings to describe Hue (pronounced ‘hway’) which were recognized by Unesco World Heritage site. This private shore excursion gives you an opportunity to explore not only the Imperial citadel of Hue, Thien Mu Pagoda and Perfume River, but also the real life of local people which is off the beaten track in rural village. Do experience your private excursions with local experts from Hue Booking Tour.
