I had Michael the “handsome tour guide” as he states haha and it was a great and fun experience. Tour guide had a great humor and was very considerate for everyone and the elders. The trip itself was a nice half day experience and brings you to the main popular sites. Our driver was also great.

I very much enjoyed this tour. There are more than 250 steps to climb so be prepared but it worth the fatigue. Our guide Jesmine was really caring and helpful and give us enough time to recover and a lot of interesting information about the caves and the area itself. Thank you Jesmine!

Versailles is really highly recommended! We were lucky that we didn't have to wait at all, no queues (were there on a Friday). Beware of the tickets, access for gardens is only free for children under 6. For older children you have to buy an extra ticket ...

The tour was great. Got to see da nang in half a day. The tour guide, Michael, was very nice and funny, learnt a lot about the places I visited as he explained everything well. The group was small (12) and everyone was friendly too. I had a great time.

The tour with Michael was really great. He is such a nice tour guide. I can fully recommend this adventure. Greeting from the people from Germany
