Fun Hue Day trip with train, learning about the area and seeing impressive structures

Great day tour with a mix of views, history of the area and seeing some of the impressive structures. Bonus was seeing the old Austin car featured in the famous photo of the Monks who set themselves on fire in Saigon. Our tour guide Harry ( Harry Potter) was lots of fun and very knowledgeable and happy to answer lots of questions and make sure we were well looked after. Lunch was a good selection in a nice restaurant. The train journey added to the day and broke up the time in a bus.

Hue trip

My experience travelling the Hue and Ngeyuen provenance was truly one of a kind. From the historic train ride with beautiful green scenery to the Emperors tomb, I was impressed with it all. Our tour guide Miss Oahn was amazing. She was very thorough at explaining what we was looking at as well as the history that comes with it. The lunch was 10/10, plenty of variety and was very filling. The waiters were very polite and respectful. Would 100% recommend if you are into your history and sight seeing.
