Itinerary
Tomb of King Minh Mang has an air of magnificence and formality, and it architectural design harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings.
It is very elaborate. It is the result of the combination of many architectural trends: European and Asian as well as ancient and modern.
The tomb of Tu Duc, the ‘poet Emperor’, is set in an elegant garden with a magnificent lake and pavilion complex.
Built in 1601 between a river and a pine forest, the Thien Mu Pagoda ("Heavenly Lady Pagoda") in Hue is one of the oldest and prettiest religious buildings in the country. Among the many interesting artifacts housed at the complex is the car that took the monk Thich Quang Duc to his self-immolation in 1963 Saigon.

We had a fantastic tour guide Hoa who was so friendly and answered all our questions. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyed his company. We highly recommend him and this tour.
Great excursion! The driver was very friendly, excellent service, recommended 100%
Dear Andpako, Thank you very much for your excellent review. Your review will help us develop in the future. Many thanks, Stop and Go Team
We hired a driver for the day to visit the Imperial Tombs. His name was Hoa and he not only gave us pleasant transportation, he was also a friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting guide. We learned the history of the rulers and their families who were buried there, and he walked with us through the grounds, answering all our questions. Afterwards, he let us stop to shop and see incense being made. It was our most enjoyable day. Highly recommended!
This was a great tour. 1/2 day tours (for me) take a full days worth of energy. 4-5 hours is plenty of time. My guide was lovely. He went above and beyond when he offered to take me to Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastery and resting place. Had I gone on my own I probably would not have gone in far enough to the his ashes and shrine. This was incredibly meaningful to me. The incense making took about 3 minutes but was such a highlight. It was pure joy. Private tours are my favourite way to travel. I get overwhelmed by crowds especially when jet lagged from crossing 13 time zones. Private tours allow me to ask my questions, learn from the guide and enjoy silence when I need :) Vietnam is a place of constant noise and private tours offer a little peace while still being an explorer.
From start to finish, our visit to the tombs and Citadel was a delight! Hoa was our local driver! Very informative! Before each place we visited, Hoa gave us an overview of what we would be seeing. He put the place into historical context which helped us understand more about Vietnam and the type of architecture. Hoa was entertaining, knowledgeable and so helpful! Take this tour, you won’t be disappointed!
Hoa was an incredible driver who gave us lots of information about the places we visited. We learned a lot from him. He is very welcoming and kind. We had a wonderful afternoon and discovered some beautiful places! He also gives great advice on places to visit in Vietnam. We highly recommend tours with Hoa!!
Our guide, Hoa, was amazing! Very informative and personable, offering many helpful suggestions. Our lunch stop was romantic & delicious. We highly recommend booking a tour with him!
Hoa was our guide on this wonderful and informative tour. He confirmed with us ahead of time and picked us up promptly at our hotel. Hoa’s English is excellent and his knowledge of the Tombs of Minh Mang, Tu Duc, Mausoleum of Khai Dinh and Thien Mu Pagoda extensive. His guided tour also gave us the history of Hue. We had plenty of time to explore each monument and Hoa patiently answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour and company.
Dear Traveller, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your trip. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us. A big thanks again for your kind words about our company and our guide Best regards, Stop and Go Team.
Highly recommended tour. Sam, with a private driver, makes the essential stops and more so you can visit the most important things in Hue in one day. We went to the Imperial City, the pagoda, the imperial tombs... A very pleasant and enjoyable day thanks to Sam. English perfect. Thanks!!
Our guide and driver were so awesome and flexible with us, they took us straight to lunch since we had an afternoon tour. Then because we only had the one afternoon in Hue our guide actually recommended tweaking the tour so we could also see the Imperial City (not included in this tour). We did the Thien Mu Pagoda and dragon boat ride (note the boat owner asks you to buy things and for money), then we went to the Tomb of Khai Dinh, and the Imperial City. All were excellent and our guide was great. We had our luggage with us and the guide organised with her friend to hold onto our luggage at her restaurant in the city so we could go and explore before our train left in the evening.
