Book Your Dinner Cruise Directly with a Local Family

Tran Family: 4 Decades of Experience

Local Family

When you book our Dinner Cruise, you’re booking directly with a local family. The Tran family has been operating river tours for generations. I’m Linh Tran, the woman in the white áo dài in the photo. Growing up on the dragon boats of the Perfume River, I’ve spent my life surrounded by the beauty and traditions of Hue. For over 40 years, our local family has been welcoming visitors from all over the world, guiding them to ancient pagodas, temples, and sharing the rich cultural heritage of our beloved city.

In the evening, we bring the river to life with traditional music and folk songs, offering an unforgettable experience that blends the charm of the past with the warmth of the local family’s hospitality. You’ll also have the chance to savor the exquisite flavors of Hue’s famous cuisine, with dishes that reflect the region’s royal history and culinary artistry. Our local family is passionate about sharing the unique stories, traditions, and tastes of Hue, and we’d be honored to introduce you to the culture we hold so dear.
