Great alternative to riding scooters over the Hai Van pass! - We had to alter the itinerary due to running out of time this holiday. We opted for a half day tour by Jeep. This is a great way to explore the Hai Van Pass and surrounds rather than on a scooter. The views were amazing and our driver was super helpful stopping for heaps of photo opportunities along the way. Definitely recommend Andy Tours and his team.

Best excursion we had. - This private 1965 US Army jeep tour was the best trip we went on. Husband and I had both a driver/guide (called C)+a guide(called Mr Ty) Both spoke English well. They were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Can't rate the trip highly enough. We were picked up from the hotel. Had plenty of time at all the sites, with Mr Ty with us all the way. Best bit was driving through Da Nang via some smaller roads. Got to see the real DaNang! The Lady Buddha and Marble Mountains were very picturesque. Lots of step climbing at the Marble Mountains, so be prepared to get achy knees! We went on the afternoon trip.

Great trip - Great trip, guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable. The jeep was great fun and made the day, you get some spectacular views from the radar station & helipad. The guide too plenty of photographs of us on our camera and his own phone and the sent them through to us on WhatsApp which was nice. I’d highly recommend this trip and paying a little bit extra for the jeep is well worth it for the entertainment value.

Excellent tour- fully reccomend! - Our guide Ty was very kind and knowledgeable- he answered all my children's endless questions on buddhism. He was flexible so we got to see all we wanted. The second half of the trip to see the red-shanked douc (one of the rarest primates in the world) was wonderful. We did not expect to see but we ended up seeing so much as a large male douc leaped over our jeep to travel to his friend and head to their sleep site. The afternoon tour time worked beautifully. Coming down the mountain through the evening mist was magical. I can not recommend this tour enough - after living in Vietnam many years and being a primatologist - I rarely take guided tours - but this was with every penny. Thank you

Missing Marble - The tour would have been more interesting if our tour guide Mr Bing spoke more fluent English and able to tell stories. He was very nice but unfortunately very difficult to understand. We were given facts but what captivates people’s attention are stories that brings facts to life, not just facts.
