A great experience
I was travelling alone at this time and wanted to explore some of Vietnam’s culture & heritage. The booking process and pickup arrangements were excellant. My tour guide, Destiny, was brilliant. Her knowledge of the heritage sights but also her in sights into everyday life were so brilliant in giving me a truly good « look » at the history, culture and life of Vietnam. I would happily recommend this tour.

Marble Mountain Tour
Our first trip with Tommy, which led us to go on another three trips with Tommy, during our week in Hoi Ann,
Great personality and conversationalist, very easy to get on with, gave us some good recommendations, buses arrived on time with very courteous employees always happy to assist. We spent two tours with Rosie, great knowledge of both tour sites and was always right there, even to the top of marble mountain, 😂

I had a fantastic day visiting My Son Sanctuary and Marble Mountain. As I was travelling solo, I wanted a day that felt personalised, and this tour was exactly that.
Tommy, my point of contact, was incredibly responsive from the start. Communication was clear, he answered all of my questions quickly, and helped me plan an itinerary that suited exactly what I was looking for.
A special mention goes to my guide, Destiny, who was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to understand what interested me most and tailored the tour around that, rather than simply following a script. Her knowledge was excellent, and I came away with a much deeper understanding of the history, culture and significance of both sites.
The lunch stop was also delicious and a lovely addition to the day.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a well-organised, personalised experience with excellent guides.

FABULOUS MY SON SANCTUARY AND MARBLE MOUNTAIN TOUR
Our experience with Quyen was excellent from pick up to drop off. She was knowledgeable, explained things clearly and shared with us not only about My Son Sanctuary and Marble mountains, but also Vietnamese culture. Her upbeat, fun and caring nature made it our favourite tour in Vietnam, not to mention our yummy lunch. At the end of the tour over 30 photos taken of us at different sights were sent to us, memories we will cherish. We also need to mention our cautious and polite driver. We would highly recommend this tour!
Operator response
Dear Raelene,

I’m also glad you appreciated our driver’s safe and polite service, and those photo memories to take home
Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Vietnam in the future!

A great experience
This tour is a great opportunity to see some historic temple ruins as well as Marble Mountain. We were picked up at the hotel and enjoyed the scenic drive to the sanctuary. We had plenty of time to explore and appreciate the ruins and nature. Tea is a fun and knowledgable guide! We loved trying authentic Pho for lunch and then went to Marble Mountain, which was beautiful and fascinating. (Be aware that the Mountain requires a lot of stairs; nothing the average person can't handle, but your legs will likely be tired.) We're glad we did this tour!
Operator response
Dear Mary,
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback!
I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed both My Son Sanctuary and Marble Mountains. Tea will be very happy to know you mentioned him—he always does his best!
Yes… a lot of stairs at Marble Mountain 😄 but worth it!
Hope to see you again next time in Vietnam.

Tommy Dao Tours are the best in the business
We used Toomy's group a few times.
The courteous Hoang picked us up from DaNang station and dropped us to our hotel in HoiAn.
Lu picked us up later and took us to see the Dragon Bridge breathing its fire and water and returned us back to our hotel again.
Lu and guide Stephen took us to the My Son Sanctuary, My Khe Beach, Lady Buddha and marble carving shop. Also included a local pho restaurant for lunch. Stephen was very knowledgeable and Lu a great driver.
We recommend this group and would use them again.
Operator response

I’m very happy to hear Hoang, Lu, and Stephen took good care of you—from the station transfer to your tours around Dragon Bridge, My Son Sanctuary, My Khe Beach, and Lady Buddha. Stephen will be very happy to know you enjoyed his knowledge, and Lu will be glad to hear he made you feel safe and comfortable.
Thank you again for your recommendation—it really means a lot to us
Hope to see you again next time in Hội An.
