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.
Incredible tour we won’t forget

5.00Hannah and our driver Tan looked after us very well on this tour, we visited Marble Mountain which is definitely worth a look! The stairs can be a bit challenging and slippery, but if you are not up for the climb that isn’t a problem, you can just sit and wait fir your party to arrive back at the lift! Hannah knowledge of the sites and she was ver accomodating and flexible with our tour! Tan is a very safe driver and quite funny! Lunch was amazing, another must! We just had a great day with these two!

5.00Our tour which included the modern car & a vintage army jeep was one of the best tours we have had in Vietnam. We were collected from our hotel in Da Nang and visited Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain Peak, Lady Buddha over 4and 1/2 hours. Our guide Quyen was excellent, she was engaging, so knowledgeable and considerate- such a kind person. She took ample photos for us to remember our wonderful tour. Mr Quang and Mr Cuong, our drivers were very helpful and attentive, ensuring we had plenty of cool drinking water and stayed dry in the rainy weather. At all the places we visited we were well informed about the history & culture, along with our questions answered. All the destinations were definitely worth the visit. Cảm ơn Quyen, Mr Quang and Mr Cuong from Local Buddy Tours
