Inside of the palace complex, which features hundreds of royal tombs, ornate pagodas and temples, learn about Hue’s Nguyen Emperors who ruled the former capital of Vietnam until the early 20th century.
Take a short bike ride past rice paddies and small towns in Hue’s magnificent surroundings, and arrive at a village that specializes in making incense. After lunch, the tour continues on to visit some of Hue's most impressive tombs. Admire the stunning triple-gated entrance and seven-tiered pagoda before heading to the Tiger Arena. Learn about the brutality of the arena, where duels between elephants and tigers were arranged for the emperor’s entertainment until the turn of the century.
