By Michael Thompson April 18, 2026 Great time in Hue!
What a fantastic journey through the heart of Vietnam! This 7-day tour was the perfect blend of natural beauty, ancient history, and cultural immersion. Starting in Da Nang, I loved the evening walk along the Han River — the Dragon Bridge breathing fire and the Love Bridge were such a vibrant introduction to the city. Day two at Ba Na Hills was straight out of a fairytale; the Golden Bridge held by giant stone hands is even more breathtaking in person, and the French Village felt like stepping into Europe. Transferring to Hoi An was a dream — the basket boat ride through the coconut forest was so much fun, and the walking tour of the Ancient Town left me speechless. Those lantern-lit streets, the Japanese Covered Bridge, and the riverside market are pure magic. My Son Sanctuary was a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Cham civilization, and our guide's stories really brought the ruins to life. The drive over Hai Van Pass to Hue was spectacular, and the Imperial Citadel was incredibly impressive. But the absolute highlight was the sunset dragon boat cruise on the Perfume River — dinner on board, releasing a paper lantern, and watching Hue glow at dusk was unforgettable. Everything was seamless, the guides were fantastic, and I left with a deep appreciation for central Vietnam's rich heritage. Highly recommend this tour to anyone!
