Top Hue Walking Tours - page 8

My 2 friends and I had a wonderful and wonderfully filing evening traipsing around Hue with our knowledgeable guide Ha. She guided us to 7 spots over the course of our nearly 3 hour, 5,000 step walking tour. All of the food has been covered elsewhere, but please arrive hungry. We enjoyed a local Huda beer and covered a lot of ground in the city heat. Ha provided welcome commentary on what we were seeing (and eating) and the wait lines for food were very short, even when some of the establishments seemed at capacity. In sum, this was an educational, delicious, memorable evening and one you should book immediately. Favorite dish: the Hue gelatinous rice cakes (Bánh Nậm) and the tiny clam rice (Cơm Hến). Suggestions: bring along an appetite and a bottle of water or two as all the eating is thirsty work. Oh and do try the bonus infamous duck egg (Trứng Lộn). This defeated us, but maybe you'll conquer it.

My driver was lovely. I was quite tired and wanted to skip one of the stops. That was no problem. I could pace the trip which is so nice about the private tours / guides. I am from the Canadian prairies so the mountain driving did a number on my stomach but holy is it gorgeous and it’s nice to see Vietnam after the cities stop.

We had an half day hue tour with Nhi today which included a dragon boat ride down perfume river. From start to finish Nhi and our driver took great care of us. Her knowledge of the area was very good and we enjoyed the whole experience. Thankyou Nhi for spending the morning with us.
