Dive into Hue's UNESCO-listed monuments and historic landmarks on this immersive half-day tour around town with an experienced guide. Visit the Imperial City centuries-old fortifications, dip into a bustling market to peruse local produce, and enjoy a scenic boat ride along the Perfume River.

Get picked up from your Hue hotel and kick off your day with a trip to Dong Ba market. As the region's largest outdoor market, Dong Ba is an ideal place to peek in at daily life scenes as they unfold between between bright stands packed with farm-fresh produce.

From the market, head to the banks of the Perfrum River to climb aboard a boat bound for Thien Mu Pagoda, a 7-story Buddhist temple that has looked out over the river since its construction in 1601. Back on land, head to the Imperial City while your guide shares facts about the rulers of the Nguyen dynasty, who constructed this walled palace in the early 19th century.

Wrap up your day with a visit to the Museum of Royal Antiquities, where you can examine artefacts gathered during the Nguyen dynasty and over the last few hundred years. Browse exhibits chronicling the past of Hue's UNESCO-listed centre, and then conclude your tour with drop-off in the centre of town.
