Fabulous insights into DaLat with a local , English speaking guide , one to one , very enjoyable company - Chloe has just finished her degree in Tourism. We went on her scooter up to a mountain lookout over the city of DaLat where she explained something about the historical origins of the people. Then we took the cable car up to the Zen temple. A wonderful experience in itself. We visited the lake , and other interesting places, had coffee in a peaceful garden. It was such a great trip and I was amazed that we fitted in so much in just a morning. Thanks Chloe , you’re a star.
Had a wonderful journey with Chloe whose knowledge and command of English was very informative. I saw DaLat in a way that I never could have discovered on my own. I very much enjoyed her delightful company and guidance. I would recommend anyone visiting DaLat to do the half day tour with Chloe.
This was a really beautiful tour of the cable car, monastery, lake and church. All of which were clearly explained by our lovely guides. We loved riding around on the back of the bikes which really added to the experience. Our drivers were very good. We finished with coffee in one of the most peaceful cafes we have ever been to where we sat in the gardens among the trees. Very highly recommended.
Chloe and Quinn provided an excellent experience touring to streets of Dalat. Very interesting observations communicated perfectly. We were sad when the tour ended. Well done team.
Great way to discover local life. And practical, the student will look for you at home Thank you to Minh my guide for his joy and kindness. I recommend
We had such a wonderful time on this tour with Myya and Viet. They were so knowledgeable and friendly. Even though it was raining, we were offered raincoats and I felt very safe on the bike with Myya. The tour even felt a bit magical because of the rain! It was great to see parts of Dalat that I probably wouldn’t have visited on my own and all the places we were taken to were so peaceful, beautiful and quiet. Thankyou Myya and Viet for your time and for such an enjoyable tour!
We spent a rainy Dalat afternoon with the wonderful Myya and Viet, beginning with introductions before riding out together. Our first stop was Robin Hill, offering sweeping views of “Little Paris” as our guides shared stories of the K’ho people and the French-planted pine forests. A sky rail ride took us to the peaceful Thiền Viện Trúc Lâm Buddhist temple, surrounded by serene gardens. We then strolled to Tuyen Lam Lake, enjoying its calm beauty before the rain set in. After a brief stop at the historic Cam Ly Church, we ended at Café Lặng Art, run entirely by deaf staff, where we relaxed over drinks and connected with our guides. The tour offered a fantastic look at Dalat’s lesser-visited sites, rich history, and the chance to support tourism students practising their English. We’re deeply grateful to Myya and Viet for such a memorable experience.
It was a great tour! Chloe and Brian were safe drivers and gave us some great local perspectives along with the ‘normal’ interesting tour facts about our stops. Would recommend if you’re in Dalat :)
