Our private tour from Chan May Port to Hue full day allows customers to adapt the itinerary to their preferences. You can choose your travel time (up to 8 hours), the attractions in Hue to visit, etc. For reference, please see the following sample itinerary:
In The Morning
07:30 AM: You will walk 5 minutes from your cruise ship area to the Chan May Port gate to meet your driver and tour guide. They will hold a welcome board on which you can easily recognize your name.
Alternatively, if you want to be picked up inside the port, a port customs fee of $25 per person will be applied. Please inform us 5 days in advance for formalities preparation if you prefer this option.

09:00 AM: Firstly, you will visit the Royal Tomb of Khai Dinh. Although Hue has 7 royal tombs, we pick the most prominent one for your day tour. It’s dedicated to the penultimate emperor of the Nguyen, Khai Dinh Emperor.
Despite its smallest size among all, the Khai Dinh Tomb has been known for being the most unique and sophisticated. Its best feature is the clever combination of various architectural styles, especially Oriental and Western.
10:30 AM: Next, you move towards the city center and visit its heart—the Hue Imperial Citadel. Our tour guide will show you around this large complex of royal constructions and give details about the 13 Nguyen Emperors’ lives.
This well-preserved UNESCO Heritage Site remarkably shows a great volume of Vietnamese history despite being significantly destroyed during the war. It’s now still been restored. The most recent work is Kien Trung Palace, besides its well-known attractions, such as Flag Tower, Nine Holy Cannons, Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace, etc.
In The Afternoon
12:30 PM: You will enjoy a lunch break at an original restaurant serving Hue delicacies.
1:30 PM: After refilling your energy, you will pay a visit to Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the most famous Buddhist constructions in Hue City. Dating back to 1601, this ancient pagoda embraces historical, cultural, and religious values. Moreover, while learning about its significance with our tour guide, you will take in impressive architecture and wonderful views of the Perfume River.
2:30 PM: Finally, you will wrap up the tour with a Hue dragon boat tour on the Perfume River. This may be the most unique experience for many on our Chan May cruise ship port to Hue shore excursion. It reenacts the leisure of the Nguyen royals in the past—having a dragon cruise on the poetic river to seize the landscapes of tree-lined river banks, garden homes, temples, local orchards, etc.
