Your first stop is Hai Van Pass, a spectacular mountain road with breathtaking views of the coastline and surrounding mountains. Take your time to enjoy the scenery and snap some memorable photos.


From there, you’ll head to Lap An Lagoon, a peaceful spot surrounded by green mountains and a picturesque fishing village. It’s a lovely place to relax, admire the tranquil views, and take some beautiful photos.


You’ll also have a chance to visit La Vang Holy Land, an important Catholic pilgrimage site in Vietnam. Here, you can learn about its religious significance and see the famous statue of Our Lady of La Vang near the three banyan trees.

EXCELLENT Based on 2678 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Dave PVerified Day trip to The Imperial City of Hue We had a lovely day today with Justine (our guide) and the driver, for the trip from Chan May Port to Hue, and the Imperial City. They met us on time, where you said that they would be, the car was clean and the air conditioning worked. They gave us bottled water. Justine explained the day and we set off. Justine queued for the tickets where needed and gave us detailed information at all the sites, not hurrying us along. Justine took lots of pictures of us, and was able to answer questions. The restaurant was lovely, the food very good, and they were aware of our request that my wife is a vegetarian. They even stopped for us to get some toiletries on the way back and he assisted us across a very busy road to the shop. A really good day.Posted on Tripadvisor Emil KVerified Can recommend - great experience! Fantastic transfer with Luyt from VM Travel - kind, knowledgable and experienced driver. Kim from the company helped us out a bunch as well - we even got to store our bags at the office while waiting for our train in Hue.Posted on Tripadvisor Lisa AVerified Reliable, friendly, all round excellent.

I had an excellent experience with VM Travel during my stay in Vietnam. I first contacted them through the chat option on their website and received a quick and helpful response. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating they were. My day trips were tailored entirely around my preferences. Both day tours were reasonably priced, and there were no issues with late drop-offs or pickups from my remote hotel location.A special mention to Mr Top, my driver for both days, who was friendly, professional, and reliable. The office staff, Jena, coordinating everything was equally outstanding — responsive, organised, and genuinely caring.Highly recommend their service for anyone looking for stress-free and pre-set or customised tours in Vietnam!Posted on Tripadvisor Jason SVerified Day drive from Hue to My Son, via Hai Van Pass Very careful and excellent driver.
