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.

5Hue-Pagado and Religious sites
Our driver/guide, Sam, was extraordinary! He navigated the traffic beautifully and had a great knowledge of the locations we stopped at.
4Our driver, Sam, took us...
Our driver, Sam, took us to the pagoda, the incense village and the 3 tombs. He gave us some information on everything beforehand and he was very prompt.
5Great scenery, tour sites, information & guide
Excellent tour and guide (Mr Hoa). Our local guide was a wealth of knowledge of the Dynasties and the history of Hue ancient capital. The tombs or mausoleums are out of Hue's city, which appealed to us as we like driving into the country areas. The drive was really nice and Mr Hoa was very safe and informative of Vietnamese people and culture. We spent a good time exploring and learning about each site. We definitely recommend a expert local guide like Mr Hoa and this tour.
5An excellent deal!
The driver was excellent ! He knew the city very well and had historical knowledge of the sites visited. Way more than just a driver to lead us to the places we wanted to visit. Very courteous, excellent English.
5Impressive sites and an excellent driver
My partner and I were keen to see the Imperial tombs outside Hue city but had not booked anything online in advance. On spec, we went to the offices of Stop and Go and arranged the "3 tombs and pagoda" tour with a driver for the next day. We were really glad that we did. The sites themselves are extremely impressive - every bit as much as the Imperial City in Hue itself. Our driver was Mr Hoa; he was excellent. His driving and planning of the tour were perfect for our schedule. Although Hoa did not guide us around the sites, he shared a great deal of interesting information about them while driving. This tour really completes any visit to Hue and is definitely recommended.
