5.00An incredible tour full of culture, history and wildlife. We were spoilt as we had both Ben and Kha as our tour guides and they were fantastic - very knowledgable, patient and fantastic English! We also had a separate driver who was fantastic, navigating the busy Vietnamese streets with ease. I would recommend this trip to anybody.

5.00An excellent and fun adventure with Kha, our guide and Tam, our driver of Local Buddy Tours. They were on time, friendly and informative, saving us tons of confusion and time by knowing exactly where to go. They were flexible for our needs, allowing my husband to do his thing while I did mine. We were lucky to see bunches of Macaque monkeys. Kha took pictures of us together and sent them to us and Tam made us feel safe while driving. Tip: If you can, start yourjourney early in the morning to avoid heavier crowds.
The Best tour every!

5.00Despite some rain, our tour was great. The transportation was perfect and the guide was knowledgable and considerate. We got to explore the Marble Mountain and then saw both types of monkeys near Monkey Mountain peak and ended at Lady Buddha. The lunch was good and offered a variety of local dishes. I would recommend this tour to others.
