Meet your tour guide at the port then take 1.5-hour transfer to Hue. Your excursion today begins with a visit to the Imperial Citadel. Built between 1804 and 1833, this heavily fortified structure is still very much the heart of modern-day Hue and despite a chequered history, the fortress remains superbly intact. You will then continue to Thien Mu Pagoda. Consisting of seven stories, the pagoda is the tallest religious building in Vietnam. Within its grounds is the Austin car in which Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk who demonstrated against the South Vietnamese government during the Vietname War, was driven to Saigon prior to his widely reported self-immolation in 1963. Finally enjoy an interesting dragon boat ride along the Perfume River before heading back to your ship.
