A great tour in Danang with sighting of Red-Shanked Douc

5.00We had such a great time visiting landmarks in Danang, including Monkey mountain, Marble mountain and Lady Buddha. We were very luck to spot a family of Red-Shanked Douc, an extremely endangered species. There are only about 1,000 left in the world, all residing in this protected Monkey mountain. Our tour guide, Thanh Tran, is fantastic. He speaks English very well and extremely knowledgeable. Without him, we were not able to have this great experience. Thank you Thanh.
A great tour around Danang

5.00We were a big group - ten people. The tour was really well organised and everything ran like clockwork. Chicky was a fabulous guide - full of energy, keen to impart information and history, but also funny and kept us all entertained. He accommodated everyone's needs and made adjustments for those who wanted to sit out steps that were more physical. It was a hot day, and this tour covers a lot of ground. We were pretty tired after the tour, and we certainly appreciated the air-conditioned trip back to the hotel. It's a great tour - would do it again or recommend it in a heartbeat.
What a legend Brian the tour guide is!

5.00We spent seven days here in Vietnam and four in Hoi An. We’ve had three guides and two have been exceptional. Brian, our guide here was by far the best. His personality and energy matched the days activities and made the whole day whizz by. Six hours felt like two and we covered a lot of ground and Brian’s in-depth knowledge of the history and locality made the commentary easy for my son to engage with and for me to take a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Vietnam as a whole. Huge thanks to Brian ( and Quan) for today you are truly brilliant. 🤩
Must do activity! Highly recommend - highlight of our trip

5.00My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast on our excursion to Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain, and Lady Buddha in Da Nang, Vietnam! This adventure was a *highlight of our entire visit to Vietnam*. We got to ride in a cool vintage army jeep, which added to the fun of exploring these incredible sites. We even spotted several rare monkeys along the way! But the real star of the show was our tour guide, *Vũ*. He was *incredible* - informative, kind, and incredibly attentive to our needs throughout the tour. Vũ's English was quite good, making it easy for us to understand and appreciate the history and beauty of the places we visited. We can't recommend this excursion enough, and if you're booking this tour, *you must ask for Vũ*. He made this experience truly unforgettable. Overall, this excursion was a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and culture, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. If you're visiting Da Nang, don't miss out on this amazing experience with Vũ as your guide!
Brilliant tour
