Hue was chosen to be the capital of Vietnam in 1802 under the Nguyen dynasty and continued its role until 1945.

I have been working both as tour guide and tour leader since 1998 and found that many tourists chose wrong tours because most foreign sale persons do not really know about Vietnam destinations. Therefore, they could not give the right advices to tourists. This makes me to work as Vietnam trip advisor as well. http://www.luxuryvietnamvacationpackages.com
