A fun trip with Docatour! - It was such a great pleasure to join the tour with Docatour. Inwent here with my wife and the tour incharge mainly Ms. Tracy took a very good care of us from the starting pick up point at airport and back to drop off point back to airport. She is very easy to deal and will reply you in few minutes time for all your queries. We really enjoyed our tour here and got the chance to visit many main travel attractions around Da Nang City. Thank you so much Ms. Tracy as she also made beautiful arrangements as we were here to celebrate our 1st Year Wedding Anniversary. Everything was prepared beautifully. In group tour was so fun as we got the chance to meet many friends from other countries. We even joined the cooking class here to learn the local Vietnamese dishes preparations.

Dan Nang City Tour - Our first time in Da Nang and our first city tour. The driver and guide arrived promptly at the hotel and greeted our family in the lobby. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Our guide was highly professional and polite. She was knowledgeable about each of the sites we visited and took great care for our safety and security. Our lunch stop at a local Vietnamese restaurant was great and the food was tasty. We never felt rushed or pressured at any of the scheduled stops. The company spokesperson, Mr. Tony, checked in with us the day before the trip and at the end of the tour to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Absolutely nothing to complain about with this tour company. Wonderful tour from start to finish!
