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.
Amazing trip with amazing guide

5.00We had an amazing tour thanks to our fantastic guide, Loi (David). He was incredibly kind, helpful, and thoughtful throughout the trip. We visited the Son Tra Mountain and Marble Mountain, and his passion for the history and culture of each place really stood out. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly, which made the experience much more meaningful. He also recommended food places to visit in Danang and Hoi An! The motorbike ride was a highlight! It was fun, safe, and a great way to take in the beautiful scenery. The whole tour felt personal and well-organized, and we truly appreciated the care and enthusiasm he brought to it. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area, especially with Loi!
Amazing visit to the danang mountains!

5.00David is a great guide, he brought us not only to the Marble mountain and also to various spots such as Hoi An and Bana Hills. Recommended for people who wants a small group tour and someone who likes their photo taken.
An engaging guide, ideal for families

5.00Here is your review: As I was with my family, he was able to arrange a car to take us around. I let him know ahead that I had my senior- age parents with me and he assured me that they would be able to enjoy the Marble Mountain tour. While tiring, Loi adjusted to make sure they were able to take their time going from site to site. He is an engaging storyteller, and very much open to learning about our culture as wel. We particularly enjoyed the visit to the cafe at the end of the tour. It was the best egg coffee we had tried during our trip! He also sent us some restaurant recommendations for both Da Nang and Hoi An and the two we tried were delicious and offered great value for money. We would book with him again!

5.00David was an absolute pleasure and easily one of the highlights of my Vietnam trip. I went solo and was a bit nervous, but he made me feel like an old friend—like he was showing me his favorite spots he genuinely loves. Riding on the back of his scooter gave me views and moments I never could’ve had on my own—cutting through local streets, catching Da Nang at sunset, and feeling fully immersed in the city. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, especially marble mountain and if you’re into that, you’ll be in great hands. On top of that, when I had an infected finger, he personally took me to a pharmacy and helped me get medicine—just a small example of how much he cares. David works hard and deserves every 5-star review. Book with him—you won’t regret it.
