08:00: The tour starts with a boat trip on the Perfume river to visit the towering Thien Mu pagoda, one of the most famous Vietnamese landmarks.

Then, cycling to La Chu village through tranquil local villages, among rice paddies, along river banks and green vegetables. La Chu village is famous for the culture of herbs and veggies (onions, cibullettes, coriander, basil, etc.). The first stop is to visit the family that produces the paper votive offerings, a very popular and strong belief among the Vietnamese.

The tour continues to a local daily market strolling through the stalls of meat, spices and fresh vegetables, accompanied by the hospitable welcome-smiles of women who are not yet accustomed to seeing tourists.

The next destination is the vegetable farm, where you can meet and chat with local residents and especially, they will be very happy to take pictures with you! It will be a truly immersion in the Vietnamese countryside with vegetable gardens, rice fields, bananas, rivers, lotus ponds, etc.
Last but not least, you won’t miss an opportunity to visit the family specialized in making “Banh Loc”, a kind of Vietnamese pie made of rice flour mixed with shrimp. You also have a chance to try out all the local dishes here.

Lunch break at a local family restaurant by rice fields is provided. After lunch, relaxing your feet in the foot bath with medicinal herbs while contemplating the charming picturesque scenery of rice paddies.

Getting back to the city center and continuing your visit to the Citadel, the most well known and iconic site in Hué. Begun in 1804 by Emperor Gia Long, it is actually a sprawling complex comprised of the Imperial City, several museums, lakes, and lovely gardens, all laid out in a series of concentric circles. Visit also the Forbidden Purple City, originally built in the early 1800s for the personal use of the emperor and staffed by eunuchs who posed no threat to the royal concubines. Nearly destroyed in the Tet offensive, the ruins today house the Royal library and the grounds flourish with mimosa plants and vegetable gardens.
