Exploration of the captivating I Love Hue Tour in Vietnam: a must-do experience
In the heart of Vietnam, the historic city of Hue offers a rich cultural tapestry waiting to be explored. One of the best ways to immerse oneself in this vibrant city is by taking the I Love Hue motorbike tour.
This unique tour, operated by the charismatic Ms. Lien, takes tourists on a journey through less-popular sights, providing an insight into the local culture and cuisine. The tour begins with a visit to a less frequented pagoda in Hue, one of the nicest temples the author has seen in Vietnam.
The I Love Hue tour includes a visit to Thanh Toan, a small village about 8km east of Hue. Here, you can cross the Thanh Toan bridge, a Japanese-style bridge built in the mid-18th century, and step into a world untouched by time. The scenery includes waterlogged paddy fields and semi-submerged buffalo, offering a glimpse into rural life in Vietnam.
A highlight of the tour is the visit to the Agricultural Museum, run by local ladies, who demonstrate traditional farming methods. The tour also takes you to Hue Lagoon for dinner, where restaurants are built over the lagoon and connected by boats. Dinner features fresh seafood, including iconic Hue cuisine.
The I Love Hue tour is designed to encourage tourists to spend longer in Hue, rather than doing a day trip to more popular destinations. It provides a more relaxed experience compared to tours in bigger cities like Hanoi.
Lien, a citizen of Hue, is the founder and operator of the I Love Hue tour company. She employs 20 "lady riders" who are mostly English students from the university. Lien's passion for Hue is infectious, making it difficult not to fall in love with the city.
The tour is praised for safety, comfortable bikes, and well-organized itineraries with regular breaks. The friendly, knowledgeable guides share insights and insider tips about the region, making the tour an engaging and genuine Vietnamese travel experience.
If only one tour is done in Vietnam, the I Love Hue tour is strongly recommended. It offers a blend of adventure, cultural depth, and local interaction all accessible by motorbike travel, which feels more personal and immersive than standard tours.
