5.00John was our tour guide for marble mountain & caves, lady budda & monkey mountain. John was a fantastic guide & was very knowledgable with Buddism & Hindu. John explained Vitnamese cultures & taught us some minor Vietnames language that helped us to commincate & understand the locals. John was enthusiastic and left us with a strong impression that he is truly passionate about his culture, and to ensure his guests are well taken care of throughout the tour, highly recomend!

5.00John was always punctual and speaks excellent English. He was friendly and open. We did several tours with him and the Marble Mountain was the best. He listened to our request to climb up rather than taking the lift, and provided an insight into the Buddhist and Hindu caves and the marble industry. We then journeyed to Hue through the Hai Van pass. He was good company.
A wonderful day

5.00Our trip with Peter was a wonderful experience. Myself and my friend are not in the greatest of shape and Peter was very understanding and patient waiting for us on all the stairs. The tour afforded us the ability to tour the Marble Mountains before all the crowds arrived and Peter's knowledge was A+. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

5.00We were lucky enough to meet John on our family holiday to Vietnam and had a really fun day out with this tour. Highly recommended - we learnt a lot about the local area and history, and John can provide recommendations for other areas to visit and local eateries. As someone else posted - John can even organise bespoke tours to places that otherwise might go undiscovered. Our time with John was a highlight of our trip and we left with lifelong memories. Thanks John! Cheers Jeff.
Strongly recommend!!
