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

Review for marble mountain

Rakshit_P, Mar 2026
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.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for your review. All details of the tour was available on the site before booking and marble mountains has elevator. Sorry that you did not enjoy the sites. Best regards, Henry

Great relaxed experience....

Great tour

phil_b, Jun 2024
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.

Danang tours

Ante_G, Feb 2024
Smart tour guide + interesting pagoda,Marble Mountain interesting caves and place of worship ✨️ 🙏 🙌 😉

Great places to visit but an expensive way to do it.

cricketer400no, Feb 2024
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.

Amazing location wpuld have been more enjoyable if the guide was better

Chirag_J, Feb 2024
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.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Chirag, Thanks for your review. Its not our services. Thanks, Henry

Amazing trip totally worth it

Muriel_C, Jan 2024
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...

Karen_E, Jan 2024
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.

Lady Buddha and Marble mountains

Naman_A, Dec 2023
Good experience with well informed instructor. The instructor was friendly and he even helped us in shopping of coffee beans.

Great, informative tour.

Elizabeth_D, Dec 2023
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.

Great tour, even better tour guide!

Polina_G, Dec 2023
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!

amazing experience

Nima_H, Nov 2023
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

Don't visit DaNang in rainy season

Aung_K, Oct 2023
Due to heavy rain , tour was cancelled and refunded. However all my air ticket and hotel cost were wasted.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

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. Henry

Fantastic

LIANGWEI_O, Aug 2023

Outstanding

Camilo_A, Jul 2023
Remarkable experience. Beautiful places. Michael was such an outstanding guide. Would recommend it to everyone

Fun

Melanie_H, May 2023
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....

Alvaro_G, Apr 2023
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

A very enjoyable tour

Eunice_C, Apr 2023
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!

Great tour for Danang area!

Jennifer_L, Mar 2023
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!

Caves and a Sea View.

lindaperry0717, Mar 2023
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.

Great sights, Amazing Tour Guide

Jennifer_C, Mar 2023
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

Brilliant tour, both guide and sights.

Almaz_M, Feb 2023
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.

One word- Incredible

Anna_P, Jan 2023
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.

Fun and informative
