Start at the Hue Imperial City, the former political and ceremonial centre of the Nguyen Dynasty, where you will walk through historic gates, courtyards and royal structures while learning about Vietnam’s last imperial dynasty. Continue to Thien Mu Pagoda, one of Hue’s best-known religious landmarks, set in a peaceful location overlooking the Perfume River.
After lunch at a local restaurant, visit a traditional conical-hat and incense-making workshop to observe crafts closely associated with Hue’s cultural identity. In the afternoon, continue to the Khai Dinh Royal Tomb, noted for its elaborate decoration and distinctive combination of Vietnamese and European architectural influences.

After breakfast, leave Hue by private vehicle and travel south toward Da Nang and Hoi An. Stop at Lap An Lagoon to enjoy views across the tranquil water, surrounding mountains and local oyster-farming landscape, then continue through the Lang Co area before crossing the spectacular Hai Van Pass. Scenic stops can be made along the route when weather and road conditions allow.
After descending into Da Nang, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture, where your guide will introduce the artistic traditions, religious symbolism and cultural heritage of the ancient Champa civilization. The visit provides useful historical background before your exploration of My Son Sanctuary the following day.

After breakfast, travel with your guide to My Son Sanctuary, an important archaeological complex of the ancient Champa civilization, set within a green valley surrounded by forested hills. Walk among the surviving brick temples and towers while learning about Cham history, Hindu religious influences, traditional building techniques and the cultural significance of the site. As much of the visit takes place outdoors, comfortable footwear, sun protection and light rain protection are recommended.
Return to Hoi An around midday for lunch at a local restaurant, then spend the afternoon exploring Hoi An Ancient Town on foot with your guide. Walk through its historic streets and visit selected heritage landmarks such as the Japanese Covered Bridge area, a Chinese assembly hall and a traditional merchant house, while learning how Hoi An developed as an international trading port and how Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese influences shaped its distinctive architecture and culture. After the guided tour, the evening is free for shopping, cafés, riverside walks or dinner at a restaurant of your choice.

Enjoy an included buffet lunch during your visit and continue exploring the mountain surroundings with your guide.
Weather and visibility at Ba Na Hills can change quickly, and temperatures may be noticeably cooler than in Hoi An, so carrying a light jacket or extra layer is recommended.
