5.00My partner and I opted for a private jeep tour, and it was one of the most memorable activities of the trip. The guide was friendly, attentive, and provided fascinating information about nature and wildlife. We had the opportunity to see rare monkeys up close in their natural habitat. The scenery along the way was beautiful and unhurried, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in nature. If you love nature or are looking for a unique activity, I highly recommend this tour. It's well worth it and truly memorable.
Great tour with great staff

5.00Our tour guide, Quynh, and driver, Tam, gave my partner and I an excellent trip to Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain, and Lady Buddha. Quynh is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of each location and explained the significance and story behind everything we saw. Our driver, Tam, was very punctual, a smooth driver, and did an excellent job spotting the rare monkeys on Monkey mountain!

5.00We had an amazing experience with this tour company! Our guide, Ben, was incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture, history, and local life, and he was able to answer every question my boyfriend had. They took us to some of the most beautiful scenic spots, and one of the highlights of the tour was getting to see the rare langur monkeys in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an informative and memorable experience!
Amazing day with Chicky & Tâm – Highly Recommended!

5.00We had a great day visiting Monkey Mountain and Marble Mountains with Local Buddy Tours. Chicky and Tâm were an awesome team, super friendly, full of energy, and genuinely passionate about showing us the area. A special highlight was their determination to help us spot the rare red-shanked douc langur. We spent extra time looking for them and eventually got lucky! Even though the tour ran overtime because of this, we never felt rushed. It was clear that the company wants guests to enjoy the experience at their own pace. Along the way, we learned a lot about the history of Central Vietnam, Da Nang's development after the war, and life in the region today. We also had a fantastic lunch at a family-run local restaurant near Hoi An in the Vegetable Village with fresh, authentic food. And not to forget – Chicky is a fantastic photographer! He shared lots of great photos with us after the tour, which was a really nice bonus. A memorable day with wonderful people. Highly recommended!
Amazing times a Million!

5.00Really lovely gentle tour, perfect for families. It was a sweltering hot day and the lovely air conditioned van was a godsend. The guide was very patient with us poor wilting flowers ;) The view from Monkey Mountain is spectacular and we even managed to find a troupe of Red-shanked Douc Langur, one of the most endangered monkeys in the world. The Marble Mountain was just breathtaking - we've done caves before but this was just incredible and a lovely break from the heat of the day. We finished the tour with a wonderful lunch at Vegetable Village. Friendly farmers who serve delicious food and offer cooking courses. The whole family loved it and were still raving and comparing photos at dinner.
