5.00It was rather crowded as it was peak season. Was very glad we did this totally private tour as it gave us the flexibility to choose how much time we wanted to spend at each spot.
Great experience seeing Da Nang!

5.00My wife and I had a great time with Thuan and Lam! We got to see Marble Mountain, Monkey mountain (seeing the red shanked douc!) and had an incredible lunch at a local farm. The old army jeep was very cool to ride around in as well! I’d recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and shoes to be able to hike the stairs and rock scramble at Marble mountain.
Good guide, worth visiting!

5.00We had a lovely time thanks to our guide Brian. Be ready to climb a few stairs to get the views. Thankfully it wasn't cloudy so we could get wonderful views from all the stops of monkey mountain, the Buddha statue as well as the marble mountains. Brian gave a lot of information and fun facts about all the places and took wonderful pictures of the group. The lunch was at an authentic Vietnamese restaurant which we all enjoyed a lot. The trip ended with a stop at one of the marble souvenir shops but none of us ended up buying anything. Unlike most tourist guides Brian didn't pressure us into anything. I would definitely recommend the trip and the guide.
Highly recommended

5.00Our second tour with Local Buddy tours and (this time as well) we had a perfect day with Sunny, Phu and Tam. Visiting Marble Mountain in the morning, before it was crowded and then a trip to Monkey Mountain where we got to see several monkeys, including the red-shanked douc. And we learned a lot of Vietnam history. I can highly recommend our guide Sunny and the Local Buddy tours.
This tour was amazing!...
