Hue served as Vietnam's capital under the emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945 and the city’s regal past can still be seen inside the walls of the Citadel and the Imperial City. Both were heavily damaged during the Tet Offensive of 1968 when the Communists took the city from the South and held it for 3 weeks. Now thanks to UNESCO funding, much of the City is being faithfully restored to its former glory. The Imperial City, created in the 19th century and modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing, has many palaces and temples inside.

Our tour begins at the Citadel and then moves in to the rolling hills of the surrounding countryside where we find the Royal Tombs to the Nguyen Emperors. After having viewed the splendid landscaped gardens and ornate architecture of the kings' final resting places we return to Hue. In the evening we have a boat cruise on the tranquil waters of the Perfume River.

"A Fantastic Company over all! We had a wonderful time in Vietnam and thanks to all of their dedicated and hard working staff. The environment they operate in is not easy but all the people we delt with at Buffalo Tours were wonderful."

Mr Mercedes – USA

“Dear Buffalo Tours:  We just returned from 5 weeks in SE Asia - and we stuffed a 7day/6night Vietnam package into our last days - at the last moment.  We want to let you know how extraordinary we found one of your guides to be ..... Ho Thuy Phuong ... who helped us in Hue.  She is superb both in knowledge and disposition - a real gem.  She made the rushed trip worthwhile!”
 Richard Ellson and Roberta Lowe
