Perfume River Tour | Visit 4 Hue Attractions along Huong River

Perfumer River Tour offers a relaxing Hue city tour by boat, which helps you to see Hue from a different angle.

Huong river has been a source of life for Hue people for centuries. She plays a vital role in shaping the Ancient City Hue from its dawn. When Lord Nguyen Hoang in 1601 was looking for a perfect capital location, the Perfume River served as the fengshui element for a prosperous nation in the later century.

Life boomed along the Perfume River: markets and trade, garden houses and palaces, pagodas and temples,… A kingdom of Dang Trong has started strongly with the peaceful Huong river.

Fantastic Day with Jack
We had a fantastic day with our guide Jack. We did the city tour in reverse as the boats were being used in a festival up river. Jack was a very very knowledgeable guide and a lot of fun keeping our teen girls entertained with some Harry Potter trivia and games in between places to distract from the heat. We booked very very last minute and the team was able to accommodate us so it’s worth using the chat function on their website to see what’s available. They are super efficient. I would absolutely book another tour with these guys. Fantastic!

A Great Cruise on Perfume River
“This Hue cruise tour with Ms Hang is really exciting. Ms Hang is an enthusiastic and graceful tour guide❤. Thanks to her knowledge, i knew more about Hue although i have lived here for more than two years . My guide shown me many thing about the origin of the famous titles in Hue such as the reason why the main river of Hue was named “Huong”.
After this tour, I have got more about Hue and I will tell these myths to my friends when they come Hue.
Finally, thanks for being our companion ♥
