The history, nature, food culture, religion, and architecture of Hue come to life on the Hue City Full Day Tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, as we take you around Vietnam’s ancient capital and the seat of power for the Nguyen Dynasty for 143 years. Hue’s attractions stretch far beyond its imposing Imperial Citadel; there is a world of serene waterways and rolling green hills in the areas surrounding Hue, with the banks of its evocative Perfume River providing the perfect conditions for life, and even death, in the tombs of the seven Nguyen Emperors who are buried here.We visit both the Imperial Citadel and the Nguyen Emperor Tombs on the Hue City Full-Day Tour, along with the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda and a beautiful garden restaurant. Here we can explore some of the culinary delights of Hue, where two-thirds of the nation’s dishes originated. Join us for a comprehensive look through the many attractions of Day Tours from Hue.
The beautiful landscapes of Vietnam are incredibly rich in their diversity, with the country able to boast some of the best mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and rice terraces in the world, but Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park stands out as an example of some of Mother Nature’s finest work. The eponymous Phong Nha Cave is a subterranean world of incredible scope, both naturally and historically, and we will explore every available asset of its existence on the Hue-Phong Nha Cave Full Day Tour.This is a day tour from Hue operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, taking a drive to Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, a boat ride into the cave, and a walk around one of the gargantuan dry areas inside. You will discover why UNESCO granted it World Heritage Site status in 2003, after discovering its ancient karst rocks, officially the oldest in Asia, and its 7.7km long river (1.5km of which is available to tourists) that makes it the longest wet cave in the world. There are many rock formations to discover, as well as animals and resilient bits of flora along the path of the cave as it grows steadily darker away from the sunlight.Phong Nha Cave has fast become an unmissable activity in Vietnam since its relatively recent discovery, and the Hue – Phong Nha Cave Full Day Tour is the best option for you to explore its fantastic interior and exterior.
The plaudits for Hue usually go to its impressive citadel and the tombs and pagodas that dot its surrounding areas along the Perfume River. However, a special mention must go to the handicraft villages of Hue, that lie in its rural enclaves amidst serene rolling hills, forests, and languid canals. The locals in these villages have been producing their wonderful handicrafts for hundreds of years, be it jewelry, folk art, textiles, conical hats, or paper flowers. This Hue Day Trip from Incredible Asia Journeys takes you on a trip around these villages under your power on two wheels. We save the majesty of Hue for another day as we cycle past its more humble surroundings. The beautiful scenery and much slower pace of life to be found just a few kilometers out of Hue are far removed from the idea of the royal court, which ruled from Hue for several hundreds of years. We visit small villages, pagodas, a beautiful bridge, and Ho Chi Minh’s childhood home as the Explore Hue Countryside by Bicycle tour shows us the best that Hue’s perimeters have to offer.
Just 5km from the city center of Hue lies Thuy Bieu, an area of lush greenery known throughout the province for the gorgeous taste and scent of pomelo that historically reached even the most royal palettes of the Imperial Citadel. Pomelo was grown in great numbers for gigantic royal feasts, which put the many orchards and gardens of Thuy Bieu on the map.Nowadays, Thuy Bieu is a paradise of immense vegetation, which lines the village paths of this tiny community. The Cooking Class and Thuy Bieu Eco-Village Tour combine the sight of Thuy Bieu’s rural beauty with the well-established taste of Hue, where the majority of Vietnam’s many popular dishes originated. This tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, takes you on a boat trip down the Perfume River, followed by a bike tour of Thuy Bien’s several natural and architectural attractions, and finishes with an informative cooking class led by a professional and local chef.Leave the urban life behind in Hue, on the Cooking Class and Thuy Bieu Eco-Village Tour.
Despite the imperial image of Hue, the nature around its province is just as celebrated as the historical wonders of the city. One such area lies 40km south of Hue and projects the image of rolling green hills, beautiful lakes, and stunning semi-tropical rainforests for which the central regions of Vietnam are known. The Bach Ma National Park Full-Day Tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, takes you around this former French Hill Station, where the climate is cooler and the views are simply breathtaking.The wild beauty of Bach Ma can be seen from its peak, from its lakeside, and at the top of its cascading waterfalls. We visit all three on this day tour from Hue, as well as a stop-off at Cau Hai Lagoon, with its vast, watery expanse that presses up to the feet of distant mountains. We explore the huge array of flora and fauna that thrive in this elevated climate, high from the humidity of Hue Province and far removed from the rush of the cities of Hue and Danang, between which it lies.
Ancient civilization meets the modern metropolis in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city and the site of the country's fastest progress. Through French colonialism and the upsurge of modernity, Ho Chi Minh City changed from ‘Saigon’ after the American War, and is completely unrecognizable from the city it was 100 years ago. Ancient Chinese temples sit alongside skyscrapers as the city’s many roots mingle in one collective mass.The Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Tour, operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, shows you the juxtaposition of old and new through the architecture and atmosphere of the new Saigon. We will take a tour through the Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum, and the Old Post Office to discover Ho Chi Minh City’s modern history, while the Giac Lam Pagoda and Thien Hau Pagoda in Cho Lon best exemplify the ancient roots that survive to this day.
History and religion combine on the Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple Day Trip. This is a two-part tour operated by Incredible Asia Journeys, starting at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, visiting the incredible Cao Dai Temple before having lunch, and moving onto the expansive Cu Chi Tunnels before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.Cao Dai Temple is a truly unique mixture of art, architectural brilliance, and religion, about 90km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. Caodaism is a religion that combines pieces of existing religions in their teachings, which is reflected in the eclectic mix of vibrant color, religious symbols, and the mishmash of Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic architecture, and more. Next, we visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, where thousands of Vietnamese lived and schemed during the American War. Conditions in the tunnels were very tough, and you can get a first-hand account of the trials and tribulations suffered by the Viet Cong as they fought a dogged conflict from underground.Join Incredible Asia Journeys on the Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Temple Day Trip for a look at one of Vietnam’s most fascinating religions, as well as its turbulent modern history.
Saigon’s stature in Vietnam attracts Vietnamese people from around the country, bringing local specialty food from their provinces as they do so. Ho Chi Minh City, a fast-emerging player on the world stage, has a history with food that runs very deep, with roots extending to every corner of southern Vietnam for the best seafood, meat, vegetables, fruits, and the Vietnamese staples of rice and noodles available. The Saigon Motorbike Street Food Tour takes you around the lesser-known areas of the bustling city on the back of a motorbike, the local mode of transport for the Saigon masses, to give you the authentic experience of searching for dinner, which is a mission performed daily by the millions of inhabitants of the city. Then, we take you off the usual tourist trail around District 1 to the outlying districts where food has its most genuine origins. We head to Cholon, the Chinatown of Saigon, considered one of the largest in the world and one packed full of eateries providing a diverse flavor to Saigon’s food scene.
