Worthwhile Experience

Our guide, Sky, arrived at our hotel on time and away we went. His driver was careful and we always felt safe. We visited the Cham museum, the Han markets, the Buddha statue and Marble Mountain. Each time Sky gave us information about the venue and then gave us time to look around by ourselves. Then we went to lunch which was included. In conclusion a worthwhile day with a considerate guide whose English was very good. The only downside was that it was a very hot day, but that was to be expected

Perfect and professional

We visited Lady Buddha and Marable mountains in April 2026 with my family with Daco Tours. Everything went as organised and was planned out perfectly and communion was clear. We received text messages for updates and arrival times which was very convenient. Great vehicle with AC all passengers we offered free water and lunch was included in the price. Anh was our Tour guide, she was wonderful kind and informative. Very happy with DacoTours and would highly recommend them. The places are a must see, defiantly not to be missed.

Best time!

Our guide Sky was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable. And a special shoutout to our driver Dao, who was hands down the best driver we could have asked for. Highly recommend this team!

Relaxing, enjoyable view of Da Nang.

Our tour with Mr. Tom was exceptional! He was friendly, spoke good English and was knowledgeable about all sites visited -- fish boat harbour, Lady Buddha Temple, stone carving works, Marble Mountain and village, Cham Museum and Han Market. In the midst of it all, the lunch at My Quang was a delicious break. As well, our driver, Sam, was excellent. We thought we got wonderful value for the price and would recommend Mr. Tom to everyone!
