Michael was a great tour guide. He gave us really good information and made the trip interesting throughout. We got to see lots of cool and beautiful things in the caves and up marble mountain. The marble sculptures were very impressive. I would recommend booking this tour to get the most out of your visit.

Was an unreal tour. Michael our guide was A1 with his performance, answering any questions we had and giving us all a good laugh along the way. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to do the tour. Beautiful spots to visits with a great guide and good driver

Loi was an amazing guide. He shared lots of information about the places we were going. He was easy going with timings and allowed us to travel at ease. We can't fault him and if we were to do this again, we would want Loi to guide us!

Tony was a very knowledgeable guide. We started in Hoi An and picked up 4 more people in Danang for a total of 9. The site at the Lady Buddha was clean and beautiful and we learned a lot about Buddhism.

The guide made this trip worth it. Mr. Tim was wonderful. He was on time, courteous, friendly and polite.
