WELCOME TO VIETNAM LEGACY TOURS

Heritage without the hustle

Central Vietnam’s inheritance is not only its monuments — the Citadel, the royal tombs, the old trading port of Hoi An. It is also the living culture around them: craftsmen still casting bronze the way their grandfathers did, garden houses where the same dishes have been cooked for generations, stories that never made it into stone. We named ourselves Legacy because we exist for both.

Vietnam Legacy Tours is a licensed tour operator based in Huế, the old imperial capital. Our founder, Lưu Đức Ngọc — a guide and history graduate who has led more than 1,000 tours across Central Vietnam since 2013 — designed every route on this site and still curates each one himself, along the heritage road that runs from Quảng Trị through Huế and over the Hai Van Pass to Hoi An.

And our days are deliberately unhurried: two royal tombs instead of three, lunch indoors during the midday heat, time to actually listen. Whether you have a week along the coast or a single day ashore from your ship at Chan May, we would rather show you fewer places properly — with the people who belong to them — than many places in passing.

The 2026/27 cruise season is on our slipway. Two private shore excursions from Chan May port are now live — a full guided day in Hue’s Imperial City, and Hoi An the scenic way, with the Hai Van Pass saved for the drive home.

– Coming next: a day with Hue’s bronze casters — the craftsmen’s village that has cast the city’s bells and cauldrons for three centuries — finished with lunch in a traditional garden house

– A simple private transfer for cruisers who’d rather explore alone

– And our Chan May Cruise Port Guide — the port, honestly answered
