5.00We had a wonderful experience with David on the Explore Da Nang: Marble Mountain & Monkey Mountain tour. He was extremely considerate, professional, and attentive to our group throughout the trip. From the beginning he made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. David also speaks excellent English, which made communication very easy and the tour even more enjoyable. He is also a great photographer and helped capture some beautiful moments for us during the tour, which made the experience even more memorable. The transportation was comfortable and everything was very well organized. If you are visiting Da Nang, I highly recommend booking a tour with David. It was truly a great experience!

5.00Loi (David) was the best tour guide anyone could have ever asked for!!! As a first-time solo (female) traveler, safety is always a concern so when I booked this adventure as a private tour, I had some reservations, but Loi helped ease my worries and I felt comfortable and safe throughout the trip. He was very communicative, respectful, professional, and funny. Best of all, he's also a local so he knows all the lore and history behind the historical sites (ex: Monkey Mt and Marble Mt), even offering local recommendations. I really appreciated how he went the extra mile to take great photos for me (working all the angles) and is very flexible with tailoring the tour to fit your needs. I had to grab his contact and business info after the tour since I definitely will be recommending him to friends/family. Will be reaching out to him for more tours when I'm back in town. Thank you so much for all the fun Loi!
Very Enjoyable

Beautiful, Peaceful, and Worth the Climb

5.00Marble Mountain was a highlight of our Da Nang trip. The combination of caves, pagodas, and panoramic views made the climb completely worth it. The marble carvings and Buddhist statues were stunning. Wear comfortable shoes as there are quite a few steps and take your time to explore the hidden corners. Our guide shared interesting history which made the experience even more memorable. After, we went to a local market to have some Bun Bo Hue and the best avocado ice cream. Stopped by Lady Buddha before capping the tour in this quaint coffee shop with a koi pond.

5.00I had the pleasure of exploring Hoi An with Loi as my guide in August 2024, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Vietnam. Loi is not only incredibly kind and warm, but he is also deeply passionate about his city and culture, which made the whole experience feel very personal and authentic.
