Da Nang · HUE IMPERIAL CITY DAY TRIPS FROM DA NANG

The 15 Best Hue Day Trips from Da Nang

30 tours  ·  from $39

Hue is three hours north over the Hai Van Pass, so the day is as much about the road as the Citadel. These 15 split into the train runs, the private cars and the small-group minibuses, priced, and each one says how early the pickup is.

“One of the better private tours we’ve had in Vietnam. Lots of sharing of information, pleasant drives with no issues, plenty of time for sites. Not a hurried pace. Only complaint I have of all tours lately is that I don’t need tour guides to keep insisting on doing photos of us. This one understood and accommodated but others, keep insisting throughout the day. I can appreciate what they’re trying to do but they should ask if you want it.”

“We were happy with the booking and arrangements for the day trip. It was a shame that the misty, wet weather spoilt any chance of a view from the Hai Van pass. The day in Hue was well organised but again the weather meant our guide had to rush us between sites to stay dry. Lunch was a sit down set menu with lots of food. The boat ride was maybe the least interesting. Hue has lots of amazing places to fit into one day. Maybe an overnight stay would be good.”
