Danang is central Vietnam’s urban superstar, but few people get to know the 2,000 years of history beneath its glitz and glamor.
On this self-guided audio tour along Danang’s illuminated riverfront, you’ll explore the layers of history beneath central Vietnam’s biggest metropolis while dining on little-known speciality dishes along the way.
Starting at APEC Park, you’ll stroll along wide riverside boulevards to discover remnants of Danang’s past, from ancient Champa roots to French colonial ambitions. Along the way, you'll learn how Danang evolved through waves of colonization and conflict to become the country’s most liveable city.
You’ll wander through Hàn Market, the commercial heart of the city for centuries. You'll learn about the American War’s legacy and details of the ongoing building boom that’s transforming the city. As you make your way to Bún Chả cá Ông Tạ, a local noodle shop where the tour ends, you’ll learn why Danang was once nicknamed “Rocket City.”

5.00I've been doing different Voice map tours in Vietnam, Turkey, UK, Germany, Singapore... and I really love the idea of it. Joshua's VoiceMap tour of Da Nang is a fantastic way to explore the city. He does an excellent job of guiding you through one of its most important areas while sharing captivating stories about the city and Vietnam's history. I especially enjoyed learning about the rise and fall of the Champa Kingdom. The tour also gives you great suggestions for coffee, local food, and hidden alleys, along with helpful tips for getting around. I highly recommend this tour and Joshua's other tours throughout Vietnam.

5.00The tour helped me to learn more about the history of the city. There are so many historically interesting stories to listen to during the trip. I truly enjoyed it because it kept me curious to explore to the end of the tour. There are many "whys" to be answered. He is a brilliant storyteller! I have tried the food too, and it's highly recommended. Big thanks to genious Joshua who have made this journey so informative and joyful
