More than we expected

Amazing tour! Bin was a fantastic guide who made the entire experience seamless. His knowledge not only about the places we visited but Vietnamese life and culture made the whole experience such a pleasure! It was a very well planned tour and covered everything that we expected. Food was amazing and Bin knew all the ‘life hacks’ to streamline the day and make our experience exceptional.

Hoi An, Marble Mountains & Lady Buddha – Daco Tours absolutely nailed it

Honestly didn't know what to expect booking this tour, but it turned out to be one of the best days of our trip. The itinerary hits all the right spots — Marble Mountains, Lady Buddha, Hoi An Ancient Town, and a Lantern boat ride on the Thu Bon River in the evening. What stood out though wasn't just the places, it was how smoothly everything ran. Elevator tickets at Marble Mountains were already sorted, boat ride was booked, zero scrambling around — that's all thanks to Ms. Linez who handled our reservation. She clearly pays attention to the small stuff, and it made a real difference on the day. Ms. Quan was our guide and she was genuinely brilliant. Not the kind of guide who just rattles off facts — she actually brought the history alive, kept the energy up, and was so easy to be around. The family enjoyed a lot. To top it all off, the day ended with a vegetarian dinner at Sri Spices Indian Family Restaurant in Hoi An. Didn't expect to find such good Indian food here, but it was a lovely surprise — warm, flavourful, and the perfect way to wind down after a full day of exploring.

Private 2 day tour - Hue, Hoi An and Da Nang

We had an excellent 2 day private full day tours with this company. From the moment I send my first email to their offices (Ms Jang) to the last day on our private tour with the guide and driver, we have received proactive and professional support. They were constantly in communication with us. Mr Thanh (tour guide) and Mr Hai (driver) were both very professional in their respective roles. We felt safe at all times while having so much fun. I really appreciated Mr Thanh taking effort to make sure the tour is going at a walking/climbing pace we can handle as we realized we might need a higher fitness level while being on the tour. However we got to see everything we wanted to see on every tour.

Operator response

Thank you so much! There are not enough words to say how happy we feel when reading your reviews. We are glad that you enjoyed a lot with Dacotours service and especially spending time with our team. Hope to see you again in other great trips to this beautiful Vietnam.

Tolle Tour

The guide Thanh greeted me on time in front of the hotel. Since three other participants had to cancel due to health, I was the only guest. This gave me a private tour with my own guide and a private driver in a car. Thanh was nevertheless very friendly, funny and has constantly explained something even during the drive. I can highly recommend the tour. Five stars.

Very nice tour with Chau

I had a fantastic day with our guide Chau who made the experience really special. We visited some fantastic locations, from Lady Buddha to the Marble Mountains to the quaint little village of Hoi An. Chau was not only knowledgeable but also warm and attentive enough to ensure that everyone in the group was at ease and enjoying themselves. The itinerary was well-planned, everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I also liked that the transport was clean and comfortable; it added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. All in all, it was a fantastic day, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to others- especially if you are extremely lucky to get Chau as your guide!

Great tour, even better tour guide !

Thanh was an excellent tour guide. Very hospitable, professional, patient, funny, and helpful. His explanations were clear, and showed us so much more than what we thought we’d see. Our favourite was the Marble Mountains.
