Commence your tour with departure from your hotel in Hue, accompanied by a local guide and dedicated driver. The tour begins with a walking exploration of the Imperial City, which served as the residence of the Nguyen emperors from 1802 to 1945. Highlights of the Imperial City include the Flag Tower, the Holy Cannons, the Gate of Ngo Mon, the Throne Hall, and the Dynastic Urns. 

At noon time, a set menu with local specialties in a tranquil Hue garden home transforms lunch into a cultural immersion offering a profound insight into traditional lifestyle. 

Following lunch, the tour will continue with a leisurely boat trip. A motorized dragon boat will navigate the Huong River, arriving at the waterfront steps of Thien Mu Pagoda. Upon disembarking, you will have the opportunity to explore the pagoda, which offers impressive views of the river and the Phuoc Duyen Tower. The pagoda also houses the historic Austin car used by Thich Quang Duc, the Buddhist monk whose self-immolation in Saigon in 1963 left a lasting impact.

Next, you will journey into the scenic Hue countryside to visit the magnificent Tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. Designed by the emperor himself before his death, this grand resting place blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature, featuring tranquil lakes, pine forests, and elegant pavilions that reflect his poetic soul. On the way back, you will make a vibrant stop at the famous Thuy Xuan incense village. Here, you can stroll through brilliant displays of multi-colored incense bouquets, witness the traditional art of manual incense making, and capture beautiful photographs before your driver ensures a comfortable return to your hotel.
