it was a wonderful experience. everybody enjoyed the tour. the guide was good too'. there isnt any traffic jam compare to ho chi minh.
It was not as expected or it was not on what the description said. Our tour supposed to have a buffet included but we we’re only given fried rice and very small chicken with very little vegetables. I don’t recommend this tour to anyone, it’s a waste of money
If you are unsure whether to participate, don’t hesitate. The tour guide was very friendly and good person. I was very satisfied
The tour guide was really good — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I truly had a wonderful trip and appreciated all the care and attention throughout the day. Thank you so much, Alex!
This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Da Nang! The Marble Mountains are absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views, peaceful pagodas, and impressive caves like Huyen Khong and Tang Chon. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing fascinating stories and historical insights throughout the tour. The itinerary was well-organized and gave us enough time to explore each area without feeling rushed. I especially enjoyed the climb to the top for panoramic views over the city and coastline—definitely worth the effort! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Central Vietnam. A perfect mix of culture, nature, and spirituality!
Our guide Tea was fantastic! Each stop was fantastic and he provided lots of great background information and kept us on schedule. We also loved the caves chosen for the tour and going to Hỏi An at night. Would recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Da Nang but wanting to experience the marble mountains and Hồi An during the best part of the day.
Here is my thought, this trip started very late and normally at 5:30 it will be very dark in Vietnam. So, trip should start at 1-1:30 in the afternoon and not after 3:30. Secondly it becomes too difficult in the evening your guide pushes you to finish everything in the dark, without light no photos can be taken. This trip doesn’t cover the boat tour at the lantern city, they will just drop you to the location to do the shopping. Once trip started, they will take you to the marble shop and take away 30 minutes, that makes the temple visit more difficult in the late evening.
Thank you for your valuable feedback on your recent trip. We appreciate your insights and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We'll consider your suggestion to start the trip earlier and address the timing challenges, ensuring better photo opportunities. We hope to welcome you again and appreciate the chance to enhance our services.
Hi everybody. Yesterday, I had a very interesting trip with 20 friends from many different countries. We visited Linh Ung Pagoda, Marble Mountain, Hoi An ancient town. We were happy to be guided by a talented Guide. His name is Hoang. He is very handsome, cheerful and especially very friendly. We are happy to be with him, knowing so much about the culture, architecture and history of the destinations. When we visiting Marble Mountain, it seemed like it was going to rain, we decided to get in the bus and move to visit Hoi An ancient town. Yesterday's trip left us with many good memories. Thank you very much Mr. Hoang, you are wonderful and enthusiastic.
Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to hear that your trip went nice and smoothly throughout with our tour guide. Your compliments and appreciation would encourage us a lot. We'd be glad to serve you. Hope to see you in another trip and have a nice day!
The Marble Mountains were really cool, great view from the top. Hoi An at night is particularly beautiful with all the lights, and it has some very nice shops there that suit all tastes and budgets.
Thank you so much for choosing our service and we are glad that you had a good experience! Thank you for leaving us a review. Your kind words are great appreciated, and we hope you won't hesitate to let us know if we can serve you in the future. Have a nice day!
