Great package! - Our tour guide, Autumn, was great! She was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited and we learned a lot. I appreciated how the driver was waiting for us at every site and we didn’t have to walk far. I am glad we went with a tour guide because we learned things we wouldn’t have if we went by ourselves.

Must Take This Tour - The sites are a must see if you are in Da Nang. Our guides, Emily and Truc, were brilliant. They paced the visits superbly and informative at the right level, no overload or overload. They were so proactive in taking pictures as otherwise a couple would be forced into a wefie.

Fantastic half-day activity with family - Absolutely fantastic day despite raining weather. Our guide, Emily, was an absolute treasure and took extra time to guide us and tell us about the sites. She was extremely friendly and well informed, and we really appreciate the thought she put into our itinerary for the day to help avoid the crowds. Well worth a morning's exploration and would highly recommend.

Absolutely wondeful tour, 10/10!! - We got super lucky and it was just us with our lovely guide Bee and driver Nam.
We loved the tour and Bee was an exceptional guide. She was full of energy and so much knowledge, we learned so much about the Marble Mountains and the Buddhist and Taoist cultures. We loved hearing Bee's stories from her childhood also, she was just so lovely, she even gave us some yummy home made snacks as we were exploring the area around Lady Buddha. We easily could have spent all day with Bee but the half day was enough to explore both sites. The view from Lady Buddha over the peninsula is gorgeous!
There is a lot of stairs, we didnt mind, but if you have mobility issues Marble Mountain might be a little difficult. Not impossible, but just be prepared for lots of uneven stairs.
We highly recommend this tour and tour company, we hope if you do decide to take this wonderful tour you get to meet Bee, she is truly an asset to this company and we feel so lucky to have spent the afternoon with her.

Great time in Da Nang - Mot (Tom) waited patiently for us to finish our (late) breakfast at the hotel which made us feel less stressed about the situation. Because there were no other people who signed up for the group tour, we had him all to ourselves! He was a wealth of local knowledge and having him as a tour guide definitely made our visit to the Marble Mountain and Lady Buddha much more personal. I highly recommend asking for Tom as your tour guide!

Informative and fun - Both places are a must go as it provides you with insight on Vietnam’s history. The guide shared that cave was used during Vietnam’s war and was very knowledgeable in sharing the history and culture of both places!

Would not recommend this tour - We enjoyed the tour and the guide was very friendly but her English was very limited (mostly just pointing at things we could already see like a beach and naming it in English). She also seemed to have a very limited amount of actual information ot knowledge about either the pagoda or marble mountain and sometimes the information was incorrect. For example, when asked she said that the Lady Buddha statue was made of cement not marble. I didn't think this made sense so I later googled it and in fact it is made of marble. This to me is very basic information that a tour guide should know. A lot of her "guiding" was just stating very obvious things that I could have worked out myself with common sense just by looking, but she didn't know many details or history of the sights at all. It was as if the actual tour guide was unavailable and they had sent someone who wasn't a tour guide instead. I was quite disappointed and given how much the tour cost it was not a good level of service and I would not recommend this tour.
