Walk Hue’s Imperial City with a small English-speaking group. See cannons, gates, palaces, and royal theater in 2.5 hours.

“A reasonable amount of walking and uneven steps which were difficult for me and my 60+ year old sister who is quite unfit. The guide was enthusiastic and had a lot of information to impart - probably more than I thought was necessary. My husband however, thought that the tour was excellent.”
