Take The Jeep !!!!!

5.00Thanh and Tam were so friendly and helpful. They opened our car door each and everytime. Cuong the jeep driver (Late 6p's early 70's US Army) was also just as friendly and kind. Our tour guide took the time to allow us to love on the monkeys and boy did we see monkeys, beautiful creatures. We then went to marble mountain cave, again simply beautiful and worth every minute. Beware.... stairs to one cave are a bit of a trek..So be prepared ha!! Dont miss out on the spectacular history this beautiful country has to offer and Our guides were so knowledgeable and the information he presented came with great respect for his people and his country which was heartwarming to witness. His English was also very good. He keeps you captivated with with his knowledge He's a very kind gentleman Highly recommend Thanh, and Tam as your informative guide P.S...Take the Jeep tour You won't be disappointed!!!! The meal at the end was simply the best meal I've had in Vietnam.. Hands down the best food!!!!..

5.00We had an absolutely special day exploring the wonders around Da Nang with Local Buddy Tours. If you are looking for a day trip that perfectly balances breathtaking views with deep cultural history, this is it. The Itinerary: Marble Mountains: Walking through the ancient caves and climbing the peaks offered a stunning perspective of the region. The blend of nature and craftsmanship is incredible. Lady Buddha & Monkey Mountain: Standing at the feet of the massive Lady Buddha was a truly serene experience. The views from the Son Tra Peninsula are unmatched, and seeing the local wildlife on Monkey Mountain was the icing on the cake. Our Host, Kha: A huge thank you to our host, Kha. He wasn't just a guide; he felt like a true local buddy. His knowledge turned the day from a simple sightseeing trip into a meaningful spiritual journey. He shared insights into the local traditions and history that we never would have discovered on our own. The Verdict: Whether you are a photography lover, a history buff, or someone looking for a bit of peace and reflection, this tour is a must. It felt personal, well-paced, and genuinely special. Highly recommended! 🙏⛰️🐒

5.00Kha was a great guide. We loved Marble Mountain but the highlight was seeing the rare langur monkeys at Monkey Mountain. Spectacular views from the top of the mountain. The lady Buddha was also worth seeing. I really enjoyed the drive too. Thank you guide Kha and driver Lam!
