Half day Hue highlight tour
Hue was Vietnam's imperial capital under the Nguyen Dynasty for 143 years (1802–1945). In one unhurried morning, I take you to the heart of that story. We walk the Imperial City inside the Citadel – throne halls, dynastic temples, royal gardens and the Forbidden Purple City – then continue to Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue's oldest pagoda, founded in 1601. We return along the Perfume River by private boat.

Hands-On Bánh Huế experience with a local family
Hue's food is as much a part of its heritage as its palaces. We start at Dong Ba Market, where I show you the stalls that supply rice flour, dried shrimp and banana leaves for Hue's famous small cakes. We then ride to a family home in a quiet village, where the family still makes banh beo, banh nam and banh loc by hand for their small business. You learn each step at their side, then sit down to enjoy what you have made together.

Hue Hidden Gems Walking Tour – Garden Houses, Local Market & Coffee
Discover the Hue that most visitors walk past. We begin at Dong Ba Market, tasting seasonal fruit and street snacks among the stalls, then take a short taxi ride to Kim Long, the village of old garden houses. Inside a traditional wooden house, the family welcomes you with tea in their courtyard garden. We finish with a slow walk along the Perfume River and Hue's famous salt coffee.

Hue Full Day Tour: Imperial City, Thien Mu Pagoda, Dragon Boat & Royal Tombs
Hue was Vietnam's imperial capital for 143 years, and this full day takes you through the whole story at an easy pace. We walk the Imperial City and the Forbidden Purple City in the cool of the morning, then board a private dragon boat up the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda. After a lunch of Hue-style dishes, we visit two royal tombs chosen for contrast: Minh Mang's serene, symmetrical garden tomb and Khai Dinh's dazzling porcelain-and-glass mausoleum.

DMZ Day Trip from Hue: Khe Sanh, Hien Luong Bridge & Vinh Moc Tunnels
For two decades the 17th parallel split Vietnam in two. On this full day we follow the old Demilitarised Zone from the mountains to the sea: Khe Sanh Combat Base, scene of the 1968 siege; the Rockpile and Highway 9; Hien Luong Bridge on the Ben Hai River, where the country was divided; and the Vinh Moc Tunnels, where a whole village lived underground through years of bombing. A long but deeply moving day.

Hue to Hoi An Day Trip by Car: An Bang, Hai Van Pass, Cham Museum & Marble Mountains
Turn the journey from Hue to Hoi An into the best day of your trip. Instead of a straight transfer, we travel south with stops worth the detour: An Bang, the extraordinary 'City of Ghosts' cemetery by the sea; the views over Lang Co lagoon; the old gate at the summit of the Hai Van Pass; Da Nang's Cham Museum; and the cave pagodas of the Marble Mountains. Your luggage stays in the car all day and I drop you at your hotel in Hoi An.

“Excellent day ”
We had a great day with our guide Xi (organised by Ngoc). We changed plans and he was very flexible and rearranged us to go on the coconut boats outside of Hoi An and then Monkey mountain, Danang market and a great lunch spot! Highly recommend using him and his guides.

“Wonderful guide”
We had an amazing experience with Matthew. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Nguyen dynasty as well as a wonderful host who was patient and accommodating as we had to make some last minute changes. He is very personable and you can tell he has a great love for Hue.
