Pickup from hotel in Hoi An or Da Nang, drive to Marble Mountain (in Da Nang), discover the stunning Âm Phủ cave inside Marble Mountain with your local guide to learn how Vietnamese soldiers used to hide and fight in the wars. The cave was also a secret hospital to save wounded soldiers. Walk 150 steps or take the elevator to the peak of Marble Mountain. A knowledgeable guide will show you the best highlights so you don't have to spend too much energy but still see the hidden beauty that most people miss. You will admire the rustic charms of historical pagodas, Buddhist statues, and shrines, which are a few centuries old. Local believers and monks pray here often.

Kha was fantastic. Very good at describing our tour on Marble and Monkey mountains Very friendly and helpful. Great English speaking guide! Would use him again
We had a great day with Kha, visiting everything from magnificent underground temples to finding rare monkeys swinging through mountaintop jungles. Kha was a warm and generous guide whose intelligent and knowledgeable commentary - and genuine friendship and enthusiasm - really enhanced every aspect of the trip. Thank you!
Kha was an amazing person and tour guide, he feels like a friend that showing you around, very knowledgeable, and intelligent, good over all tour to cover all the bases in this beautiful city!
Kha was an amazing guide, extremely friendly and knowledgeable, would highly recommend, great tor ! Even saw some endangered monkeys!!!
An Amazing Tour, Wonderful Guides, and an Unforgettable Lunch! What an incredible experience! Ben and our driver picked us up from our hotel in a comfortable vehicle before we switched to a vintage military jeep, adding a fun sense of adventure to the day. At Marble Mountain, we explored beautiful caves and passageways while learning about the area’s natural, historical, and spiritual significance. We then traveled to Monkey Mountain, enjoying spectacular scenery and spotting two species of monkeys in the wild. Some were so well camouflaged that I could barely see them, even when looking directly at them! Ben and our driver’s knowledge of the area and ability to spot the monkeys were impressive. We also visited the magnificent Lady Buddha Statue, surrounded by beautiful gardens and offering panoramic views of Da Nang’s coastline and bay. We finished with lunch at Hoang’s Kitchen, a charming local restaurant serving delicious, authentic Vietnamese food with generous portions. It was so good that lunch became one of the highlights of the day. I highly recommend eating there. Ben and our driver were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to making the tour enjoyable. Ben and I even discovered a shared passion for billiards and met afterward for a few friendly games of 8-ball, making the experience even more memorable. Five stars without hesitation! This tour combines beautiful scenery, fascinating history, wildlife, delicious food, and exceptional hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Da Nang, especially if you’re fortunate enough to have Ben as your guide!
We chose a private Marble Mountain Tour and we enjoyed the duration and personalised service. Our guide Kha was knowledgeable, good English and very friendly. 5 stars. Would recommend.
We booked last minute - our tour guide - Sunny - reflected his name and made the tour bright! He showed us not only good around - he also spend extra time for explanations l! 10 out of 10 for Sunny!!!!
Khan was an excellent guide, he was incredibly informative and had answers to every question we had about the culture. He allowed us to stop multiple times everytime we saw a hint of a monkey, which was our primary goal! The duration was roughly 4 hours but he was more than happy to allow us extra time to explore areas we found interesting. The trip took us to many magnificently beautiful sites and the atmosphere of each was magical. Incredibly personal and intimate experience being just my partner and I, would recommend to anyone interested in understanding the various cultures and seeing monkeys. Well worth the time! Kha is an asset to the tour company!
Absolutely brilliant tour with Kha - a very knowledgable guide who took the time to make sure we saw all the best sights. Kia was very accomodating and genuinely allowed us to take our time at all the sites we visited. During the jeep ride over the monkey mountain Kha spotted various species of monkeys and made sure we had fantastic photo opportunities.
This tour was an amazing experience and well worth it! Our tour guide-Kha was extremely good! He was knowledgable and accommodating. He tailored the tour to our needs, and we enjoyed very much! The drive in Jeep up monkey mountain was amazing. The guide was extremely experienced and was able to spot the monkeys and we were able to stop many times!
Our family absolutely loved the Marble Mountains and Monkey Mountain private tour led by our tour guide, Thanh. Both Thanh and our driver were very attentive all throughout the day and helped us with our 2 small children ensuring we got to do everything the tour offered at our own pace as to not tire the kids out. The weather was great and Thanh’s local and national Vietnamese knowledge was fantastic. We had a great Vietnamese lunch after a long hot day which was amazing. Really good doing a private tour at your own pace and this tour is a must if visiting Da Nang or Hoi An!
My family and I did the Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain and Lady Buddha tour with an amazing lunch. Kha did a wonderful job. He was very knowledgeable about the sights. I would highly recommend this tour
Kha our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. We got to see many of the best sites on Da Nang and got to hear about the history involving each site. We even got to see monkeys on lonely mountain on the tour stopping a few different times to get photos. Overall would recommend this tour with Kha for sure.
Kha was an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the city. Along with having a good eye for spotting out the monkeys. Thanks to him were able to see langur monkeys, which are notoriously shy. This tour was a once in a life time experience

It was a fantastic experience! Our tour started one hour earlier at our request, and they were more than happy to accommodate us without any hesitation. We visited the Marble Mountains, the Monkey Mountains, and finally the Lady Buddha. Along the way, we made several stops by car to take lots of photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our communication with our guide, Kha, was excellent. He spoke fluent English and was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the tour. We would also like to say a big thank you to our driver, Tam, for making the experience even more enjoyable. Kha and Tam are truly one of the best guide-and-driver teams!

We had an amazing tour with Kha as our guide. The price was well worth it, it was good to have an in-depth private tour and learn about Vietnamese history and culture. The lunch at the end was delicious and we were definitely full by the end! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a good tour around De Nang!
Our guide Kha was incredibly kind and generous throughout the entire tour. He took us to several wonderful stops, made us feel completely welcome, and was friendly and attentive the whole time. We had such a great experience and would highly recommend him!

Awesome experience, Kha was an amazing tour guide and made the trip heaps of fun. Very informative and super friendly. Would 100% recommend and book again. Thank you Kha. Deb 🇦🇺🐨
Our tour guide Kha, helped us understand Vietnamese culture showed us around the caves, we could not go all the way and to all the caves because of our inability to climb all those steps. Monkey Mountain was ok, the drive was nice. Lady Biddha site was very good. Kha is a good, polite and helpful guide.
We had a fabulous day with Local Buddy Tours!! Sunny was an amazing guide, he knew so much about Vietnamese history, economics and culture, past, present and future!! Marble Mountain was such a magical place, there was something wonderful to see around every corner! We did the early tour, so we arrived before the crowds and had cooler temperatures! We were very lucky that our driver was eagle- eyed as he spotted monkeys on Monkey Mountain, the babies were so cute! Lady Buddha was amazing, the views over Da Nang were breathtaking!! We could not recommend Sunny and our driver, Chù, any higher, as they did a great job of showing us part of this amazing and wonderful country!! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brian Nguyen provided an outstanding private tour of Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain, and the Lady Buddha Statue in a classic American Jeep from the Vietnam War era. From start to finish, Brian was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and easy to communicate with. The tour was well organised, relaxed, and full of interesting history and local insight. Travelling by Jeep made the experience even more memorable, and Brian took us to each location safely while giving us plenty of time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the incredible scenery. I highly recommend Brian to anyone visiting Vietnam who wants a personal, informative, and unforgettable tour experience. His warm personality and excellent knowledge made the day truly special. Five stars!
Kha and his driver took very good care of us and we had a fantastic time. Kha is very knowledgeable, knew where to take the best photos and took us for a very delicious lunch. Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain and the Lady Buddha are a must see Thanks Kha
Quynh was great, friendly, informative & gave us a greater understanding of local places of interest and cultural importance. She answered all our questions and always made sure we were comfortable in every way. We went by us army type Jeep then into caves, saw cute monkeys, endangered langurs, beautiful temples, marble carvers and then lunch was outstanding. Can’t say enough, thanks Quynh for a great day
Had the best experience with our tour guide Kha! He and a driver picked us up at our hotel at 9am and even called our hotel to make sure that we got the right address. He’s very knowledgeable and very fun. We went to marble mountain and taught us a lot about the mountain and Buddhism. Then we went to monkey mountain in the Jeep and that was so much fun! Kha and the driver were having more fun than we were trying to find monkeys to show us! Very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam, Buddhism, as well as the history of each place we went. He’s also a very good photographer! Highly highly recommend!
The Best ! Local Buddy Tours ! On time - communicated clearly - everything was fine. Then came Ben and I cannot communicate properly just how friendly, knowledgeable, articulate and pleasant this experience really was. Everything was enhanced by Ben's expertise. Marble caves - Monkey Mountain - Lady Buddah - all awesome. Professional and thorough- more like travelling with a friend than booking a 'tour'. I will always remain grateful for the incredible insights and personable experience. I learned so much about the beauty and history of this wonderful country in more aspects than I probably deserve to know. Best experience ever !! Highly recommend 👌 Thanks Ben (and driver) and Local Buddy Tours. (Name says it all really)
Amazing sights and a lovely and knowledgable tour guide (Kha) — who can be as hype or as chill as you want him to be :) Awesome phototaking skills even for a bunch of picky girls. Love the guides from Local Buddy, would def book again!
Wonderful experience with Kha. Everything was well taken care of and it was wonderfully planned.
Kha is a wonderful guide. he is energetic and knowledgeable. worth the price
Had a great tour on Marble Mountain and Monkey Mountain.
★★★★★ A Brilliant Private Family Tour We had a wonderful day on this private tour with our fantastic guide, Quynh, and our driver, Quang. They picked us up right on time, and everything was organised perfectly from beginning to end. Our first stop was the Marble Mountains, where Quynh’s knowledge and explanations really brought the place to life. Having a personal guide made the visit much more meaningful and enjoyable. We then travelled to Monkey Mountain, where we took in the amazing views and captured some lovely family photographs. The Lady Buddha statue was another highlight—an impressive and beautiful place to visit. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch, which was included in the tour. The whole day passed incredibly quickly because my wife, daughter and I were having such a lovely time. Quynh was brilliant throughout: friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, while Quang made sure our journey was comfortable and smooth. A truly memorable family experience. We would happily recommend this tour—and especially Quynh and Quang—to anyone visiting the area. Five stars!

Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and the tour was both enjoyable and informative. A special thank you to Quynh, who was absolutely wonderful — friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.

If you are visiting Da Nang, we totally recommend this tour! Excellent service, great people and a fantastic experience. We would happily do it again!
Guide from Local Buddy Tours - Nguyen (KHA) was outstanding. In all of our travels in Asian countries he was the best. Helpful, patient, informative and friendly, easy to understand his English and he had amazing amount of information about history of Vietnam. This tour was relaxed and interesting. It was only my husband and myself which also made it a more personal experience. All admissions were included and we chose the one with the meal which we both thoroughly enjoyed. There was enough for 4 people. I would recommend it for fit people only though as there are alot of steps. Areas which were not suitable for my husband the guide made sure he was sitting somewhere cool and comfortable while I explored. Amazing pictures.
