Give marble mountains a try! - Marble mountains had a breathtaking view overlooking the city. It was quite a hike to see the temples, but it was well worth it. A very educational and nice experience indeed. Thank you to our tour guide, Mike and Billy Vietnam Travel. Would definitely recommend!

If you're in Da Nang, Hue, or Hoi An, a must! - Everything from pick up, to tour, to lunch, to drop off was on point. Billy, the tour organizer and head tour guide, helped me set this trip weeks ago via WhatsApp. He designed a custom 3-day schedule to accommodate our dates. We had a private driver, Hung who was awesome. We had a second tour guide Hnat who was amazing as well. It was an unforgettable time in Vietnam. Thanks to Billy and his crew!

Awesome Ba Na Hills and Marble Mountain Experience - My cousin and I made a last-minute decision to visit Da Nang on our trip to Vietnam, and it turned out to be one of our best choices. Billy, our guide, took us around Ba Na Hills and the Marble Mountains, and he was both fun and incredibly knowledgeable. While he joked that most of his guests need to "catch up" with his fast pace 😂, I can assure you it was totally worth it. He really knows his stuff, and I loved how we could enjoy the sights without being surrounded by crowds. Just be prepared to keep up with his speed! I highly recommend this trip—it offers great value for money and an overall informative, fun and amazing experience.

Awesome tour and tour guide - This was one of my favorite tours in Vietnam. Marble mountain is just beautiful and so interesting. I kept finding little details and things to look at at every corner. Billy was truly wonderful and thanks to him my stay in Vietnam couldn’t have been more enjoyable. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He will answer all the questions you might have about the culture, history etc. His English is great and he is also a great photographer! I know my friend and I drove him crazy asking for pictures but he was just soo good and so patient. He has now set the bar too high for future tour guides 😂

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.
