Family Trip around Da Nang City

We went on this half day trip in a large group of 14. The programme was generally family friendly and focused on sights and visits to religious/historical places. One thing to note is that it is not fully wheelchair accessible so Granny had to wait by some shade. It was a low-medium intensity hike up and down Marble Mountain and the caves were an interesting sight. Mr Phuoc was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting nuggets of information about the history and significance of Da Nang and the landmarks we visited. He was also very patient and helpful in arranging our meals and transport, we were so impressed we requested for his services again the next day!
