John is probably the best tour guide you can find in DaNang and HoiAn. He’s very caring, knowledgeable and passionate about the culture. He is funny and a very good photographer. Him and the strong 1 & 2 (the drivers) were really accommodating. Highly recommended, and will book my next tours with John again. Thanks!
Best tour with best guide

This was an amazing experience that gave us a really interesting understanding of the Vietnamese culture. We had a lot of fun riding around in the open-air jeep. Lady Buddah was a beautiful and picturesque stop, and Marble Mountain definitely was the star of the show. While the many tall steps leading to various areas could be physically demanding in certain places, I thought it was well worth the effort and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Da Nang.
Thanks Ben appreciate for providing pleasant tour.
