Reviews
Amazing tour!
Our guide Tea was fantastic! Each stop was fantastic and he provided lots of great background information and kept us on schedule. We also loved the caves chosen for the tour and going to Hoi An at night. Would recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Da Nang but wanting to experience the marble mountains and Hoi An during the best part of the day.
Good experience at Hoi An
Enjoyable trip. Highly recommended. Tour guide was Tee. He explained the cultural significance of Marble Mountain very clearly and also ensured we were safe the whole time. He gave us enough time to take rest and use washrooms as and when needed. Had dinner from a Vietnamese restaurant after which we were given 2hrs to walk around the beautiful streets of Hoi An town and also take river cruise (at our own expense). The trip was a memorable and peaceful experience.
