We had the best morning on our private tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and we got so much out of the half day trip.

We did not know any details about this tour. With a surprise we got personal car with driver and guide. We did not know in marble mountain there steep 30 steps. Even in lady Buddha there were steep steps. It wasn't revealed before booking. We being senior citizens and bad weather in da Nang we would not have taken this if it was revealed before booking that it was a private tour for two of us with so many steps to climb. Our your ended in just 2 hrs. Not worth spending $90 for such a lousy tour.

Loved the Marble Mountain and Lady Budda. So lovely to see. Very interesting to learn about the marble and how it is cut and shaped.
Smart tour guide + interesting pagoda,Marble Mountain interesting caves and place of worship ✨️ 🙏 🙌 😉
This tour was good but I have to say rather overpriced at nearly £28 per person. Little did I know that Lady Buddha is actually free entry and Marble Mountain is around 40k VND. Both destinations are very close to Da Nang and so if you can live without a tour guide I would suggest you visit them yourself by Grab taxi. You will get more time too to stroll around the Lady Buddha and surrounding temples and gardens which I felt were very rushed. I have to say both venues are definitely worth visiting and the guide Jasmine was superb with her explanations and great English. I just am not sure it is worth paying that much especially if there are a few in your group.
The locations are very scenic, but the guide is not very enthusiastic, giving very brief introductions and lost in his own world. Had to constantly ask him to which he would reply later.

Hi Chirag,
Thanks for your review. Its not our services.
Thanks,
Henry
We had a beautiful experience exploring and learning interesting facts of Vietnam on this trip. Thanh our guide was kind,patient and soft spoken and the arrangements made were perfect .. We initially booked this private tour on day 1 of our danang trip but ended up booking him for the next two days to bana hills and Hoi an.. Marble
Mountain involves a lot of walking and climbing stairs so it could be strenuous for those with physical limitations.. Overall the trip was amazing and we highly recommend this tour..
This was a great half day tour. Both sites are very interesting and beautiful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and she provided a lot of details on both sites.
Good experience with well informed instructor. The instructor was friendly and he even helped us in shopping of coffee beans.
We had a great visit inspite of the downpour of rain. Our guide Michael was excellent! He was very informative, funny and engaging. I highly recommend this tour. Lunch was very tasty.
The whole tour was an incredible experience and we learned and saw so much about the Buddhism & the Marble Mountains. Our tour guide Sung was very informative and entertaining for the entire trip and went above and beyond to ensure that we were all entertained and all questions were answered. I’d highly recommend this tour and especially Sung to anyone looking to learn more about Da Nang and explore the incredible sights and history it has. Thanks Sung, you are amazing!
the mountain and city views ! it was quite a walk, but definitely worth it to see the amazing caves and such a nice views, and all the nice Buddha statues
Due to heavy rain , tour was cancelled and refunded. However all my air ticket and hotel cost were wasted.

Hi Aung,
Thanks for your review. Sorry for your unexpected experience cause of bad weather week in Da Nang.
We could not organize tours in mountains cause of floods and landslide but you can choose indoor actives (cooking classes, museum..).
Thanks for your understanding.

The mountain hiking experience is great. The tour guide is very knowledgeable on the history of marble mountain
What a fabulous trip, Luan our guide shared so much history and many great stories. He was wonderful!
Remarkable experience. Beautiful places. Michael was such an outstanding guide. Would recommend it to everyone
A most enjoyable day
Our guide was quite good and informative
We weren’t really expecting a theme park
But it was still enjoyable
Fantastic experience. Tony was an exceptional guide. We had a wonderful day and we got to know a little bit more about these beautiful places
Our tour guide (Tran) was very knowledgeable and friendly. The views from Marble Mountain were fantastic from the pagoda but a little disappointing at the very peak (there is a giant building right in the view), but this is not the fault of the tour company. You will need good hiking shoes and the rocks/hand holds up to the peak are sometimes slippery. We also enjoyed the views from Lady Buddha. Thank you for a wonderful morning!
This tour was very informational and our tour guide was great. He spoke fluent English and allowed plenty of time at each stop. We never felt rushed. Gave this tour 5 stars but will mention that there was an unplanned stop at one of the large marble shops along the way. It had any imaginable sized marble souvenir available for purchase. Overall, great tour that kept us active (walking and steps) and gave perspective of Danang area!
I enjoyed having a tour with a guide to pace us. It was very reasonably priced and we got to see the caves and the Lady Buddha, and light a joss stick for our family and friends. The guide was pleasant and upbeat and helped with photos. He had a good grasp of English, but he sometimes spoke a bit too rapidly making it hard to understand. He helped with photos. But he made a joke about a female and a male tree that made me uncomfortable, especially when he traced the female part with his walking stick. His commentary was better suited for a bar with his friends. The shortcut through the rocks to the viewpoint was fun and easy enough for most people. The rocks were well worn making them a bit slick, so you needed to be focused, placing your feet and hands carefully so you didn't slip. It was much cooler in the rocks and shorter than the steps. The soup was delectable.
We had a very small group, only 3. Amazing guide, very patient as both my husband & I struggled with the amount of steps...but definitely worth the effort. Recommend to all, however maybe some may consider the elevator for part of the trip up Marble Mountain. Lady Buddha easy
We had a wonderful tour with our knowledgable, funny and helpful guide providing with lots of history and up to date facts about each of the places we stopped. He was able to answer any additional questions we had in English and gave us ample time to explore each stop ourselves.
The tour even included a delicious Phó lunch. We felt it was a perfect morning well spent.
This trip was incredible! Although the weather was miserable, the tour guide made up for it with his great sense of humour, attention to detail and story telling skills.
Friendly and helpful guide. Has a good time and learned a lot. Had to walk up quite a few stairs at Marble Mountain!
Very interesting visit Marble mountain and lady buddha with guide. long steps high the mountain see buddha and cave. wonderful guide helpful. take lots of photos Enjoy views.
