The Hue City Tour Half-day is the best choice for people who arrive in Hue City by private transfer from Da Nang/Hoi An. Or those who just have a limited time in Hue and would like to visit some of the highlights of the ancient capital city.
Hue City Tour Half-Day Itinerary
Spend your Hue city tour half day to learn about Vietnam’s History, especially about the Nguyen Dynasty, which is highly recommended by Hoi An Private Car. This short trip brings you to the “must-see” sites in Hue, such as the Hue Citadel, home to the Nguyen Emperors of Vietnam from the 18th century until 1945.
Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the best-known Buddhist sites in the city; Minh Mang Tomb, the beautiful royal tomb of the 2nd Emperor; and the Khai Dinh Tomb, the burial area of the 12th emperor of the last feudal period in Vietnam.
Morning Half-Day Tour
With the Hue city tour half day, you can choose the morning half day or the afternoon half day as long as it meets your time.
In the morning at 8:15, our tour guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel/homestay. Please be ready at the hotel lobby. After picking up all the people (maximum is 12), we start the Hue City Tour half day by a beautiful dragon boat trip along the Perfume River to visit Thien Mu Pagoda.
And then, we will take the minivan to visit the complex of Hue Imperial Citadel, where 13 emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty used to work and live.
After accessing the Ngo Mon Gate, we will explore the Hue Imperial City and the Purple Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was reserved for the Nguyen royal family from the 18th century until the mid-1900s.
Unfortunately, American bombing in 1968 in response to a communist takeover of Hue flattened most of the city. As we can see, only a few buildings have survived, such as the Thai Hoa Temple, Can Thanh Temple, The Mieu, and Hieu Lam Cac, but all the remains make a visit well worth it.
If you still have time, we can keep going to visit the Dong Ba Market. If not, your private car will pick you up at Hien Nhon Gate- the gate out of Hue Citadel to transfer you from Hue to Hoi An/Da Nang.
You may need our Hue to Hoi An By Private Car with an English-speaking driver.
Afternoon Half-Day Tour
Another option for people who just arrive in Hue in the morning is the Hue city tour half day (The afternoon half day tour).
At around 1:20 pm, our driver and tour guide will pick you up at your hotel, and we will start the Hue City Tour Half Day. In this afternoon half-day tour, we will explore the Hue Royal Tombs.
The first one is Minh Mang Royal Tomb, the burial area of the 2nd emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, with the perfect Feng Shui setting, fabulous architecture, and serenity in the great nature. Our local tour guide will tell you why all the emperors built and pre-prepared the royal tombs before they passed away.
After that, we will go to admire the Khai Dinh Tomb, a masterpiece of the world with a special blend of all kinds of unique architectures in the world. It is the only one where you would know where the coffin of the emperor is.
Last but not least in our Hue city tour half day is the Incense Making Village. As you know, Thuy Xuan Incense village is over 200 years old, and their incense was chosen to be used for the Nguyen dynasty. You will have a great chance to learn and experience how to make high-quality incense by hand.
After all, we will drop you off at your hotel, and we will finish the Hue City Tour Half Day- Group Tour. Hoi An Private Car Travel sure that you have a great trip with us!
