The Heart Behind Our Vietnam Adventure

We had the absolute pleasure of having Oanh as our tour guide during our time in Da Nang, Hue, Ba Na Hills, and Hoi An, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. From the moment we met, Oanh was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took us to all the must-see sights while sharing fascinating stories, history, and local insights that brought each place to life. Whether we were exploring the Imperial City of Hue, taking in the breathtaking views at Ba Na Hills, or wandering through the charming lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, she made every moment enjoyable and memorable. Oanh was always thoughtful, patient, and attentive, making sure we were comfortable, had enough time at each stop, and even helped us discover some wonderful local food and hidden gems along the way. Her passion for her country truly shines through, and it made us appreciate Vietnam even more. Thank you, Oanh, for making our trip so special. We leave with beautiful memories and would highly recommend you to anyone visiting central Vietnam. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated guide, Oanh is simply the best! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ P.S. Oanh takes amazing insta ready photos so that’s a great bonus indeed! 🤗

Great tour guides & awesome experience in Da Nang & Hanoi tours!

Dacotours team did a great job in arranging group tours for us for our 8 day stay in Da Nang & Hanoi. We did Bana Hills, Marble Mountain, Hoi An, Hue City, Halong Bay & Ninh Binh with the team. All tour guides were great in providing all required information. They were guest friendly & helped us click some good pictures as well. And the Dacotours team was very proactive in arranging tours & coordinating with us. The experience were great, & we would definitely recommend other people in booking tours with them!

Hai Van Pass (privado)

Today we took the tour but as we were supposed to arrive earlier at the airport, we adapted the tour to our schedule keeping the activities. Tony was very helpful managing the booking through Whatsapp and our very friendly and attentive Oanh guide. Good tour, the must-see train
