The driver and guide were 20 minutes early. And waited patiently for me. The driver was a careful and cautious driver. With a very pleasant demeanour. Either he or the guide insisted on opening and closing my door. The car was comfortable. Thủy, the guide spoke excellent English. And she was knowledgeable of Vietnamese history and Buddhism. She also has a keen intellect. The site itself is worth a visit if just for its weirdness. It was initially built for Vietnamese visitors. There are replicas of castles, parts of the Louvre. Greek statues. It was an enjoyable few hours and I learned things. And of course the hands appearing to hold the walking bridge. The gondola rides afford good views as long as the clouds have not rolled in. I intend to book Thủy, and this company for a different trip this fall. Great guide, good company. Book with John Lee Tours. You won't regret it

We had a really enjoyable day with John as our tour guide. John was on time, knowledgeable, accommodating and willing to answer any question we had. We would definitely recommend John Lee Tours.

Great your. If you fancy saving yourself some time, it is a way to go
We had an absolutely fantastic day trip to Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge! John Lee, was exceptional from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable with his great personality and attention to detail. Cảm ơn John! Thank you for a wonderful day and an unforgettable experience!”
I first spoke to John who allocated Quyne picked us up, she was right on time at 7am, and her English is excellent. We headed to Ba Na Hills first to beat the crowds, and she organised all our tickets, making the most of our time and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Quyne took all our photos and knew exactly where to position us to get the best shots! We never felt rushed and were able to explore at our own pace, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. After lunch, we headed back down the cable cars before visiting Marble Mountain. Quyne's knowledge of the area and its history is exceptional. She shares the stories of Vietnam's ancestors and culture in such a beautiful and engaging way, bringing the history to life. If you're visiting the area, this trip is an absolute must! Quyne made our day special with her knowledge, organisation, patience and genuine care. We couldn't recommend her highly enough! Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺
Our pick was prompt, the car was extremely comfortable and we had a great driver. Queenie was a terrific guide. Being a local she knew so much history and recommended popular places for tourists to visit. The early morning tour was perfect for beating the crowds. Queenie was exceptional at picking great photo opportunities. With her our Ba Na Hills experience was insightful, meaningful and seamless. We had great conversations with her. A must for every tourist.
John with John Lee Tours was awesome!! Prior to our tour he reached out to us to confirm our tour several times and when & where we should meet. He was very accommodating, knowledgeable, courteous, assisted when we needed help, patient and didn't rush. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide on our one day experience! Thank you John!
We had a fantastic time on our early morning tour with John! He was funny, friendly and full of knowledge, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. He was brilliant with our kids, keeping them entertained and involved along the way. We really appreciated his patience and flexibility when we wanted to be a little spontaneous. Thanks again, John, for a wonderful morning and some lovely family memories. Highly recommend!
John, our tour guide and Strong our driver were excellent. They picked us up at the Princess cruise port and took us around the greatest sites of Da Nang, Vietnam. They were very accommodating throughout the day. They even took us to a very reasonable local place to have lunch. I would highly recommend them both for any tour.
We had a great experience with John Lee Tours! The early start was definitely worth it, allowing us to enjoy the attractions with far fewer crowds. The service was excellent, and the tour was completely customisable to suit our small group of four. John also went above and beyond, taking loads of photos and putting together videos for us, which was a fantastic bonus! Although it was quite foggy on the day, it was still absolutely worth going. Highly recommend John Lee Tours for a more personalised experience! Will be booking with John and the team again.
Horrendous weather however my husband and I laughed so very much . John would be by far one of the very very best tour guides we have ever had . We travel extensively and I doubt I’ve enjoyed a trip so much . He went the extra mile . Took pics of us and made a little video . Fast tracked us through everywhere ! 100% recommend John Lee Tours Hoi An …. He’s crazy 🤪 but the best fun and very informative .
John is the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is incredibly thoughtful and kind, always taking the best photos and making sure you get to see everything. John’s English and knowledge is excellent and I will only book with John in the future. Thank you John.5 stars for you my friend 😊
John is absolutely the best tour guide from the moment we met him his warm and kind personality was lovely felt very comfortable with him, his English is excellent and his knowledge is too of all things Hoi Anh and Ba Na hills. He goes out of his way to make the experience very enjoyable and memorable, he’s a great photographer took all our photos and sent us a short video of all the pictures taken during the tour. I would highly recommend John ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our Guide Brian was excellent he was extremely professional and shared his knowledge of important historical events along with everyday culture and family life. We had a private early morning tour starting at 6.30 which was just perfect they even allowed for a quick local coffee and bakery stop. Ba na hills was simply amazing a wonderland to explore with French and Asian themed gardens. We loved the cable car ride up and back and marvelled at the golden bridge it was incredible. Many photo opportunities and our guide was very accommodating in taking photos for us. Our final stop was the buffet lunch an excellent array of seafood and the freshest Asian cuisine which was simply delicious and great value. We are still talking about our trip it will be a memorable time for a stay in Vietnam.
If your going to book a tour . Stop scrolling when you find John Lee tours . We have a very large group of 17 ( Aussies) with a group our size there is bound to be someone running late to the bus , or someone still in the bathroom. But John just took it in his stride . We couldn't recommend John enough. Thankyou for all you arrange for our family. You went above and beyond.
Thank you John and Strong for making our ba na hills day so enjoyable and seamless. We are a group of 16, including kids and elderly travellers and John went above and beyond for our group. Highly recommend 👌
John was amazing, he made the experience so easy and relaxing. He is extremely kind and informative. Couldn’t have had a better experience. 100% recommend!!!
We had a great morning exploring Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge with John. He was very welcoming, friendly and easy to tour with! He knew all the best photo opportunities and how to beat the crowds. Highly recommended, thank you John! 😊
We had the best time at Ba Na Hills. John was very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend.
Ba Na Hills is a beautiful place with stunning mountain views, unique attractions, and a great atmosphere. The Golden Bridge is definitely a highlight, and the cable car ride offers amazing scenery. It can get quite crowded, but overall it’s a memorable experience and well worth visiting when you’re in Da Nang.
We had a wonderful tour. Eric our guide was very knowledgeable, and flexible. He adjusted the tour activities to suit our needs. We were very surprised at the size of the area and how much walking was involved (there are many steps) but it was well worth doing and we would thoroughly recommend it.
Nhu was incredible. Very knowledgeable and kept us busy
John and Strong our driver were right on time . John made us feel so welcome and he was a great guide for the day . He made us laugh and feel relaxed . Highly recommended John Lee tours for your next trip .
We had the best day with John. Great sense of humour, his English and knowledge was exceptional. I would highly recommend John for any tours you were wanting to do. 5 stars all the way. Did I mention his great camera skills.
Quyen was amazing. Three generations of us travelled with her to Ba Na Hills and the Golden Hands Bridge. She was most accommodating, patient, professional, but still fun to be with. She took us around the whole park in a leisurely way, not rushing us, and creating many photo opportunities. We highly recommend Quyen and this tour, especially being a private one.
Our private tour to Ba Na Hills was one of the best days of our honeymoon and an experience we’ll always remember. From the moment we were picked up, everything was effortless. Having our own guide and driver meant we could relax and enjoy the day without worrying about transport, timings or navigating the crowds. Our guide John was warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories and local insights that made the experience so much more meaningful. Seeing the Golden Bridge in person was a real highlight. The views were breathtaking and it was even more impressive than we expected. We loved wandering through the French Village, exploring the gardens and simply taking in the atmosphere and scenery throughout the day. What made this tour special was the personal touch. Nothing felt rushed, and our guide genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. We felt looked after from start to finish and appreciated the flexibility to spend more time at the places we enjoyed most. If you’re visiting Hoi An, we can’t recommend a private tour to Ba Na Hills highly enough. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, culture and fun, and created memories we’ll talk about for years to come
Ours was a private tour our tour was with Nhu Quynh. She was a good and friendly guide,. She was very punctual, explained everything about Ba Na Hills. Took us around at our pace showed us around, guided ius all along. Quynh is very good guide. Everything in Ba Na Hills is magical. Beautifully maintained and very well presented. We are happy we got as n opportunity to see this awesome place. Thanks again to Quynh and Dong our driver, punctual polite and safe.
Lanh was such a wonderful tour guide! He was great at showing us around (this place was huge!) and telling us more about the area and Vietnam. They were also super flexible in picking us up from Hoi An but dropping in Da Nang so we could make a train. Really great day!
We had a great time! Our tour guide was Hannah and driver was Than. We had a great time at the park, got to see everything before the crowds hit and knew what we were doing and seeing due to our informative tour guide! Highly recommend.
We had an amazing morning tour with John and our driver, Strong! They arrived right on time and with welcoming personalities. The drive to Ba Na felt safe and stress free.John’s expertise made our visit to Ba Na Hills exceptionally efficient. We moved quickly when we wanted to, but never felt rushed when capturing the perfect photo or listening to his insightful explanations, like the history behind the Buddha life murals. He speaks excellent English, knew all the best shortcuts, and made sure we got our amazing lunch exactly when we needed it.To top it off, John went completely out of his way to help us when my wife's curling iron stopped working that morning. Even though they are surprisingly hard to find in Hoi An, he called around and successfully tracked down the last one at a small beauty supply shop which we easily stopped at and grabbed on the way back. John is a fantastic guide with a great personality. We saw everything we wanted to see, had an awesome morning, and are already planning to book our next tour with him! Highly recommend!
John was an exceptional tour guide! Mr Strong was the best driver offering us cold water and getting us to and from hotel safely. John took photos and captured our day perfectly whilst giving us insight on some history Would recommend 10/10
Amazing trip, cable car was awesome and when u get to the top very surreal!! Enjoyed it all and the guide so helpful and informative, the views from the bridge breath taking, all in all an enjoyable family day.
Our trip to Ba Na Hills was unforgettable, largely thanks to our amazing tour guide John! He had a wonderfully lighthearted and relatable energy that kept us laughing all day. It never felt like a rigid tour, but rather like exploring with a knowledgeable friend. He expertly navigated the crowds, timing our stops perfectly, and even acted as our personal photographer, finding all the best spots for fantastic photos. He made the entire experience easy, comfortable, and truly memorable. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience with John. The guide was excellent with great English. Planning was also perfect where we just managed to avoid crowds at Ba Na hills. Knew exactly where to go and when. Highly recommended!
John was a bloody great guide, he had a fantastic sense of humour and was very knowledgable about the bridge and its suroundings. These sights you would not see anywhere else in the world and they are mind blowing to see in person. I would definetly recommend having a tour guide like John to show you around so you don't get lost and he knows all the best spots, he can take fabulous photos for you to treasure forever.
My husband and I had a great time on tour today. Our guide was lovely, spoke English very well, and tailored the experience to our pace and interests. She was very knowledgable and shared a lot of information on the history of the area. Highly recommend.
We had such a wonderful time on our Ba Na Hills tour with John. This was my second time taking the tour with him, and this time I brought seven family members along. He made the experience even more special for all of us! My mother was with us and has some walking limitations, and John went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the entire day. His kindness, patience, and attentiveness truly stood out. John made the trip memorable for my entire family, and I’m so grateful we had him as our guide. If you’re visiting Ba Na Hills, I highly recommend John! He is an exceptional tour guide and truly cares about his guests. ❤️
John and Strong took such great care of our family during this tour. He assisted my mother with her wheelchair and even carried it up stairs when access was not available. This is my sister's second time here and she toured with John last year and he came highly recommended. You will not be disappointed if you book with John! 10/10 experience for me and my family!
Did Ba Na Hills with Lanh our amazing tour guide , he has great knowledge and is the best photographer. Highly recommend Lanh as a guide, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Definitely be doing another tour with him. Thanks Lanh
Wonderful private tour that was well worth it. Interesting things to see, do, and eat, and with the altitude of the mountain, over 1,600m, the temperature was very comfortable. Tour guide Quynh did a great job! She accommodated our pace which is a great benefit of a private tour!
John was great! Very good communicator and the tour went really smoothly. He guided us super well through crazy crowds and did not make us feel rushed at all, very relaxed. Highly recommend
If you are going to Ba Na Hills for sure choose John! He was excellent and we all enjoyed his company and our time with him. He navigated us very well even when things got busy. We did not feel rushed at all and he made it very relaxing! We highly recommend this tour.
Very beautiful experience with our tour guide Quynh ! She’s not only taken us to this beautiful places but also she’s a pro on taking pictures as memory of a lifetime! The best !
Great travel experience with John to Ba Na Hills. I would highly recommend. He is very friendly, polite, and happy to accommodate your needs. John has a great knowledge of the history and surrounds of Ba Na Hills. I would highly recommend John to anyone travelling.
John has been a fantastic tour guide here in Vietnam. From start to finish john provides a professional and fun experience, has great local knowledge, takes lots of photos and videos for you. John is the guide to have when in the Hoi An Danang area, a genuinely helpful person combined with excellent tour guide skills - a step above the rest! Thanks for a wonderful day John, 10/10 experience!
Excellent day at Ba Na Hills with our 3 children. Quyen our guide was fantastic and took us to all the best spots. In such a large resort we would have missed so much without her. We managed to cover all of our highlights - golden bridge, French gardens and the Fantasy area as well as some others that we hadn’t spotted but loved like the 5D show. It was great to be picked up early and get to the golden bridge before too many crowds and also an early lunch at 11.30 meant we didn’t have to queue for too long. Quyen was able to bring the resort to life by sharing the areas history and how the resort came to be. Lovely day out and a highlight of our holiday for the kids.
From the moment we were greeted by our superb friendly guide John and our trusty driver 'Strong', we knew we going to have the best experience on this tour. John was informative, funny and engaging. He took many pictures of us on his phone and created a memorable short video he shared with us that captured our day beautifully. Thank you so much 'Johnno'. Do yourself a favour people.and book with John Lee!
Incredible tour made even more enjoyable by our tour guide, Carol! I would rate this tour with Carol 6 stars if it was an option because she is a fabulous tour guide! The scenery from the cable car to the Golden Bridge to the French Village and the Indochina Buddhist Temple was breathtaking! We were in awe of all the fascinating facilities, statues, and gardens! Our tour guide, Carol is a local and provides very informative historical perspectives about the evolution of Da Nang and Ba Na Hills. This is a "must do" tour, and if you are lucky, you will get Carol assigned as your tour guide. The cable car ride is a highlight! It's about 15 minutes and Carol helped explain many aspects of the sights we viewed during the cable car ride. The western buffet lunch was also worth it as it offers a very large variety of different international cuisines to pick from, including many vegetarian dishes. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough! Go see for yourself, and you will not regret the time or money spent, particularly if you get lucky like we did and are assigned Carol as your tour guide!
Tien, our guide, was great. She paid close attention to us in the busy crowds, was very knowledgeable, and spoke good English. We purchased the WOW pass with our admission fee, which I highly recommend if it's busy, as it allowed us to skip a lot of long queues. There's plenty to do for a full day and we really enjoyed the experience.
