Great experience and entire trip was tailored to meet weather and family’s needs. We booked it last minute and didn’t regret. Kein was really ease to talk to and suggested changes in route to suite our family. I recommend Kein and the trip to other travellers.
We enjoyed our tour with Thao today. She was knowledgeable, patient and made our trip enjoyable. Highly recommend!!
Misa was our guide during the afternoon slots. Driver was brilliant too. All 3 venues were visited at a nice speed, never felt rushed, even had time to visit a stone carving establishment in between. Misa was brilliant, so knowledgeable about everything. Thank you Misa for a fantastic afternoon 🙏🇻🇳🏴
Mr. How and his driver fantastic! Great knowledge, excellent English and so fun! We all enjoyed our trip with him. I highly recommend them! Team was excellent at pick up and being on time and texting with WhatsApp. Appreciate the great customer communication!
Interesting visit to sanctuary and mountains. Wear comfy shoes for climb up Marble mountain. Thiem, our guide, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Recommended
Delivers on what is promised: prompt timely pickup, etc. guide was friendly and helpful. Sites were well worth visiting. Only downside was the crowds at some points.
We had a wonderful tour with Chau. He was prompt, well organized, informative, and very friendly. This tour was a great way to see beautiful parts of DaNang and Chau made it so enjoyable. He is an excellent photographer and I really appreciated his tips. Thanks, Chau, for a great time!
tour guide Michael was great tour was good very informative the only thing not a fan of the marble shop
Guide did a great job. There are a lot of steep steps to the very top but I managed. Very interesting and beautiful combination of places very close to Danang. My pickup in Danang was just after 8 a.m. and I was back at the hotel (even after a simple rice noodle lunch nearby) by about 12:30, giving me the rest of the day to do other things.
Well organized group tour and interesting sights. I can be quite a workout. Be prepared for many, many steps, but well worth it.
