Top Hue Nightlife

Our local guides take small groups (max 8) to family eateries that don't advertise — where cooks have been making the same bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes with dried shrimp), bánh khoái (crispy Hue-style pancake) and nem lụi (grilled pork skewers wrapped in rice paper) for generations. Eight signature dishes across three hours. These are the foods of Hue, a city where royal cuisine and home cooking have long influenced each other: techniques from the Nguyễn court traveled into neighborhood kitchens, and street-stall flavors made their way back into court banquets. Choose how to move: on foot through hidden alleys, by cyclo along the Perfume River, or by scooter to spots further outside the city center. The kind of tour we'd take a friend on if they came to visit.

Experience the flavors of Hue in this small-group Vietnamese cooking class and market visit. Your day will start with a trip to a local food market where you’ll learn about daily life in Hue and traditional ingredients. You’ll then head back to the kitchen for a cooking class with a local chef, where you’ll learn how to make several different dishes, before sitting down and enjoying your meal together.

Take a half-day to dine like a true local in the Imperial City. With this guided small-group tour, you’ll taste more Hue delicacies than you count, from che to banh beo to bun bo hue to banh khoai—you’ll also cool off with some local beer. You’ll walk away with new eyes for Hue, plus an understanding of what makes Vietnamese street food so fresh, so experiential, *and* so festive.

Tour some of Hue’s remarkable ancient monuments without getting rushed around by a guide on this private driving tour. Explore Hue’s ancient tombs at your own pace; set your own departure time with your private driver and spend as much time as you want at each site. Walk around tombs to ancient Vietnamese emperors like Minh Mang, Khai Dinh, and Tu Duc, and visit the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda.
