Great trip! - We had the most wonderful day with Sunny. He we so incredible with our young children. Incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the war. Knew the best spot for Bahn Mi and even took us to a custom tailor in Hoi Ann which I can’t stress enough. You won’t regret booking the time with this company. I didn’t even mention the lunch in Hue because of how enchanting it is. Some things are better discovered on your own. Enjoy this holiday. Well worth it.

Lovely day in Da Nang and Hoi An!!! - Mr. Lang was an excellent guide and took excellent care of my wife and I. The highlights of this excursion were Marble Mountain and the tourist site of Hoi An City. We also had an opportunity to do some shopping outside of Marble Mountain. This was followed up by an excellent lunch at Tra Que Water Wheel. It was a delightful meal for both of us. Following our walk through Hoi An we returned back to the ship. A wonderful day in Central Vietnam. FYI, we also saw beautiful China Beach and the numerous surfers enjoying the waves!!!!

Comfortable drive and saw quite a bit - The car was very comfortable and the guide and driver did a great job. It was very pretty in the countryside. It was nice to see the bridges and shopping area with temples for awhile, but it was quite a bit of city driving that wasn't exactly scenic. A nice overview of the area.
