Where only emperors once walked (Source: Internet)Hue is not a museum — it is Vietnam’s soul.
For 143 years (1802–1945) it was the royal capital of the Nguyen Dynasty — the last emperors of Vietnam. Today, the UNESCO-listed Imperial City, royal tombs, and forbidden purple city still whisper stories of power, poetry, and tragedy.
Our Vietnam Tours for history in Hue are created for travelers who want more than surface facts. Small groups (max 12 guests), scholar-guides with master’s degrees in Vietnamese history, after-hours access, and the kind of insights you won’t find in guidebooks.
No rushing through crowds. Just you, the echoes of 13 emperors, and fellow history lovers who get just as excited about a 200-year-old poem carved in stone.
Since 2008, thousands of history buffs have called their Hue tour with Legend Travel Group the highlight of their entire Vietnam trip.
