Thank you so much to our guide Nhuyn who did an amazing job! She cares so much about her clients and is an expert in the history and culture of Vietnam. I would definetly suggest the Bana Hills tour. Walking on the amazing bridge is a wonderful experience and riding the cable car up the mountain is a lot of fun!!

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!

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
