You will commence your tour with departure from your hotel in Hue, accompanied by your local guide and driver. The first segment of the tour involves a walking exploration of the Imperial City, which served as the seat 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.

Following this, you will visit the Imperial Art Museum, which houses a priceless collection of antiques and artifacts. The museum itself is a fine example of traditional Vietnamese timber frame architecture and is a must-see for art enthusiasts.

Next, a short drive will take you to the picturesque An Dinh Palace, situated south of the city center. An Dinh Cung blends French Rococo architecture with local decorative elements and served as the private residence for several emperors in the early 20th century.

Lunch will be served at a charming garden home, offering insight into the esteemed lifestyle of the Nguyen court mandarins. These mandarin homes, maintained by their descendants, often function as small museums showcasing period furniture and household items.

In the afternoon, you will continue your exploration with visits to the mausoleums of King Tu Duc and King Khai Dinh. Although distinct in style, both mausoleums are remarkable architectural feats, featuring invaluable imperial artifacts. After your visit, you will return to your driver and be transported back to your hotel.
