Step beyond Hue’s imperial landmarks and into a quieter world where traditions continue to shape daily life. The Rich Traditions of Hue Countryside Tour takes you off the main roads and into rural villages, family temples, and local communities rarely seen by visitors, all from the back of a classic Vespa.
Guided by a local expert, you’ll explore ancestral customs at a traditional family temple, feel the vibrant energy of a local market, and cross the poetic Perfume River by ferry. Along the way, discover artisan workshops where worship materials and folk woodblock prints are still crafted by hand, sip green tea with local craftspeople, and experience Hue’s cultural heritage in a personal, unhurried way.
The journey continues through cinematic countryside scenery—rice paddies, duck farms, peaceful villages, and a hidden ancient bridge—offering moments of calm, connection, and reflection. Thoughtfully paced and deeply immersive, this morning ride reveals the living traditions and timeless charm that define Hue beyond its royal past.
Your morning begins with a relaxing drink at a local café to meet your guide. We then hop on our classic Vespas and set off through historic streets to a family temple. Here, you’ll discover the depth of traditional customs and learn how French colonial architecture has shaped the local way of life.
Next, we step into the vibrant atmosphere of a bustling local market—a true feast of color, sound, and scent where you can observe Hue’s authentic daily rhythm. Leaving the buzz behind, we take a peaceful ferry ride across the iconic Perfume River, enjoying panoramic views of the city’s riverside beauty.
Back on the Vespas, we ride deeper into the countryside to visit artisan workshops. You will watch skilled locals craft worship materials and folk art prints by hand. It’s an interactive experience: sip green tea, chat with the artisans, and even try creating your own folk print to take home as a memory.
The final leg of our journey takes us through the lush landscape of rice paddies, duck farms, and serene villages—far removed from the city’s bustle. We pause at a hidden ancient bridge for photos and friendly local encounters, capturing the true soul of rural Hue before riding back to your hotel.
