Hue is internationally known as the former imperial capital of the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945), but within Vietnam, it’s also known as the nation’s gastronomic capital. For those who are dedicated to finding the very best food in the city and doing so in true Vietnamese fashion, the only way is on the back of a motorbike. The motorbike gives us the freedom to hit the best spots in the city for each dish. Enjoy as our drivers/ guides tell the stories of Hue’s many dishes, often folkloric and fiercely disputed, before hopping back on the bike to resume your voyage. Our guides/ drivers are all licensed and experienced motorcyclists, and keen enthusiasts of Hue cuisine. We will pick you up at your hotel and we will cross over to Hue Citadel and explore the historic streets and tree-lined avenues neighbouring the Imperial City, which aside from their beauty and cultural importance to the city also have some of the best food in the city.

For those who are looking to get a soak up some local culture and getting a better feel for the city while enjoying its local delicacies, we recommend taking a walking tour. As we walk, our guide(s) will reveal stories of the city and its cuisine, which we hope will develop a greater appreciation of the complexity and history of Hue.
