Itinerary
14:00 We start our ride with a 4km cycle to Bao Vinh an ancient Vietnamese town. From the 17th to 19th centuries, it used to be a very busy and important trade center in the central region. Bao Vinh was famous for its many craftsmen who made such things as trunks, weaving and carpentry products. In 1885 when France invaded Hue, Bao Vinh was destroyed but there are still parts of the town still intact. We will stop to visit old traditional house in Bao Vinh Village. We then continue to Dieu De pagoda, the pagodas entrance is on the banks of the Dong Ba canal. Dieu De pagoda was one of the three pagodas in Huế to be declared as a "national pagoda" by Emperor Thiệu Trị and was under the direct patronage of the Nguyễn dynasty.
From Dieu De we take a boat along the Perfume River and enjoy sunset with a cup of Vietnamese coffee/tea, before ending our day with a cycle back to Hue

Traveler reviews
Private Dragon Boat Tour - Perfume River
We booked last minute through Pham Travel for a sunset Dragon Boat tour of the Perfume River. Mr Linh arranged to pick us up at our hotel, and we were pleasantly surprised to have a short cyclo transfer from our hotel to the boat wharf. It was very interesting and fun. When we arrived Mr Linh had arranged a pleasant meal for us on board as well. The boat was fun and we were taken along the river to a wonderful pagoda, Thien Mu. The sunset was beautiful and enjoyed our return by dragon boat. We also had a special treat afterwards of local folk music cruise and lantern lighting on the river. Highly recommend Mr Linh and Pham Travel, easy communication too
Highlight of our Vietnam experience
Seeing the way, that bird houses, furniture, and hinges are made by hand was truly impressive. The visit to the Pagoda was also amazing.
Special experiance
The bike ride was special but the guide made it something we will remember. The bike ride was enjoyable and quite alot easier than we thought riding through Hue. Xi our guide spoke great English and was engaging throughout. We stopped for afternoon tea before going on a short boat ride where we got good pictures along the perfume river. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you
