Excellent Choice - I am writing this review to highly recommend this tour agency to anyone wanting to experience more of Da Nang. I considered the location of the attractions as I booked the half-day to Marble Mountains and the Pagoda, but I was thankful I did. The tour was comprehensive enough given its duration. The tour guide was knowledgeable and witty, and I was never had a boring moment. Ample time was given for each attraction. What took me by surprise was the service accorded prior to the pick-up. The tour guide was in close contact with me pre-tour. What an excellent choice!

Brilliant!! - To kick off the tour, me and my partner were met by our tour guide Vinh, who arrived early at our hotel (I appreciate punctuality 🙂). We then made a stop at another hotel to collect more passengers before making our way into Danang. We were provided with ice cold water as the day was hot 🥵. The journey into Danang was a pleasant one. Vinh was very knowledgable and was able to speak on the history of the country and the areas we passed through. He also provided a breakdown of what the day entailed. Linh Ung Pagoda Our first stop was the Linh Ung Pagoda which was mind blowing! We were dropped off near the rear entrance and Vinh took us through a beautiful river passage which offered stunning views to take pictures and appreciate the scenery. From there we made our way through the Bhudda Temple (with the Sleeping Bhudda) and then onto the pagoda. We were allowed enough time to take pictures with Vinh taking some great shots! 📸 On to the Lady Bhudda. Standing at 67m tall, it really was a spectacular view! Marble Mountain Next, we stopped off at a marble shop to see how the marble statues and sculptures are crafted, before heading onto Marble Mountain. We were allowed some time to browse the shop and buy soverneirs if needed. When we reached Marble Mountain we were given the option of taking the elevator to reach the top or to go through a different cave at the bottom. We chose the elevator. FYI - please wear comfy clothes & well gripped shoes as the marble within the caves is quite slippery and there are some tight/awkward spaces to get through!! After making it through the cave (just about!) we made our way down the mountain (ALOT OF STEPS!!) and then into another cave. (We didn’t go all the way into this cave as we were still recovering from the previous one! Lol). After overcoming more steep steps (😩😩) we finally made our way to the bottom where we were met by our driver and taken back to our hotels. Positives/Improvements Overall the tour was a great experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! We were allowed time to take in the magical wonders and take plenty of pics. We didn’t feel rushed. I would however, maybe suggest that some time is given for longer breaks. Although you have about a 15/20 min break during the trip from Linh Ung to Marble Mountain, it would have been nice to have some time to relax a little more between the different locations. Especially with Marble Mountain as it can be taxing on your fitness. And with the day being a hot one, it would have been nice to rest in the shade and have a nibble or two! The stop at the marble shop was ok and I would have purchased a small item, however, the staff were not that friendly and followed us around the store so we didn’t feel at ease when browsing.

Highly recommended - Great to fit both these sights in half a day without rushing around. Both were equally fascinating in theur own ways. Our guide was informative and was accomodating. Nothing was rushed and she had an excellent sense of humour. Highly recommended and very genuine.

A great day and experience - The entire experience was amazing due in part to the guide that met us. An old war veteran that was full of surprises and told many stories about the past and the area. The personal experience that he shares with us was exemplary. I think his name was "Can"... but not sure. If anyone else recalls this gentleman's name please let me know. I am going back to Vietnam in 2020 and would like to look this man up.

Excellent Tour - Enjoyed the tour, however, need to warm people that there is a lot of walking and climbing uneven steps.

Marvellous Marble Mtn - Fantastic marvel of the world. It was an enlightening experience greatly supplemented by our informative Guide. To be able to walk the paths of the ancient peoples was an emotional and rewarding experience. A must see tour.

Excellent half day morning tour - We were picked up at our hotel on time by our driver and guide Marble. Marble was attentive and informative during the whole tour. First we visited Monkey Mountain then followed by marble mountain. Our guide ran the tour at our pace and was very patient as my wife slowly descended the steep stairs. Would highly recommend this company and tour if you’re visiting Danag/Hoi An.

Perfect Half Day Expedition - We were picked up by our lovely tour guide from our hotel and taken first to Marble Mountain. First dropped off at a large store in hopes of us purchasing a creation made of marble to add to the already disappearing beauty of the mountains. Apparently 2 of them are almost gone because of all the mining. Then take up the mountain via elevator. Our tour guide did a marvelous job of explaining the history of things, offering to take our photos, as well as feeling when we were ready to move on to the next site. We had a spectacular time climbing up the cave to the top as well as visiting the temples inside the mountain. The hike was moderate/strenuous in difficulty, depending on fitness level. Following, we went to Monkey Mountain and the largest pagoda in Vietnam. The sites, temples, bonsai trees, and the large lady protector were all sensational. I really recommend coming up here. As mentioned before, our tour guide was spectacular. I wish I could remember his name so that I could give him a shout out and encourage his manager to pay him more ;). You know who you are!
