Great day in Hue
Excellent tour with Thinh. We traveled in a comfortable van and the driver did a good job! Thinh is very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor.

Beyond history

Though Hue is most famous for its history, there’s still plenty to do once you’ve got your dose of the past. A great place to get a glimpse into local life is Dong Ba Market (Cho Dong Ba), which sells both Vietnamese produce and clothes, while the natural scenery of the Perfume River provides a welcome place to relax—opt for a cruise on a dragon boat for a traditional experience.
