Brilliant tour - Our first stop was mountain marble mountain at around 7:30am which was a great time to avoid the heat & crowds. Billy our guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of detail on each section including the history and the importance of the place to the monks who call this home. He explained how this area was used during the Vietnam war. We them travelled to see the Lady Buddha. Billy's knowledge of the Buddhist religion provided a very interesting explanation of the area. We then travelled to a lovely location overlooking the bay for a cool drink and snacks. We travelled in a clean and airconditioned car and would highly recommend the tour, especially with Billy as your guide.

Nice trip - We started in Monkey Mountains at 6:30 a.m. This spot seemed to be designated for us. It was simply great. The Lady Buddha was a stunning sight against a green background. The Son Tra Peninsula is a hidden beauty in Da Nang. It was a terrific adventure. The caves were huge and filled with incredible works of art. We are so delighted we arranged this wonderful trip.

NICE EXPERIENCE WITH BILLY !!! - One of the most fantastic experiences in Da Nang, with a breathtaking view at the top. Make sure to drink plenty of water before climbing. An elevator is also accessible, and there are numerous stores along the mountain selling marbles.There are a few caves that must be explored; it's fantastic! The tour ended at the really view to see the entire bay of Da Nang with beers and snack…

Great experience And best guide👍 - We started the Marble Mountains tour early at Billy's suggestion. It's extremely hot in the summer. It’d be great that we can avoid the hot weather and the crowds. We learned a lot about Vietnamese cultural history. It was an extremely enjoyable trip. Really satisfied with the tour. 100/100

Excellent! - We had an absolutely brilliant time on this trip. Our guide Mr Tam was very polite, caring and knowledgeable in all areas of the trip and regarding any questions we had about Da Nang and Hoi An. Myself and my group can't recommend this trip enough! We had the option to complete the trip early to avoid crowds and the heat which we all greatly appreciated. The whole trip was excellent, a huge thank you to Tam for enriching our trip!

Fantastic tour guide!!! Highly recommended! - Billy’s Vietnam travel as a tour guide is really fantastic! He is very knowledgeable about Da Nang and Hoi An. He knows the best places to go and eat local food. He knows the short cuts to Ba Na Hills so you can avoid the long queues and crowds and get the best photos. He is a great photographer and help us take family photos. I highly recommend Billy’s Vietnam as a tour guide/driver to all my family and friends. Our family enjoyed his company and he even took us to enjoy his mum’s noodle soup after a long walk in the Hoi An ancient tour.

Da Nang with Fire&Water Show Dragon bridge - We visit the Marble Mountain, Lady Buddha and at least the Fire show on Dragon bridge. Billy organized a cruise for us so that we could see the show better from the river. The tour was perfect because we could create our own private tour and our tourguide Tam was so nice and helpful. Thanks a lot Billy and your Team for these unforgettable tour
