After a lunch of Hue specialties you visit the Imperial Citadel – the palace of 13 Nguyen emperors – with the Ngo Mon Gate, Thai Hoa Palace and the Nine Dynastic Urns, then stop at Thien Mu Pagoda beside the river before returning to Da Nang. This join-in tour includes hotel transfer from central Da Nang, an English-speaking guide, tickets to Khai Dinh Tomb, the Imperial Citadel and Thien Mu Pagoda, lunch (standard 120,000 VND per set) and bottled water.
