Very underwhelming. I wouldn’t recommend. Dirty, don’t maintain statues. Pushy market stalls on exit.

Great experience and entire trip was tailored to meet weather and family’s needs. We booked it last minute and didn’t regret. Kein was really ease to talk to and suggested changes in route to suite our family. I recommend Kein and the trip to other travellers.
We enjoyed our tour with Thao today. She was knowledgeable, patient and made our trip enjoyable. Highly recommend!!
Misa was our guide during the afternoon slots. Driver was brilliant too. All 3 venues were visited at a nice speed, never felt rushed, even had time to visit a stone carving establishment in between. Misa was brilliant, so knowledgeable about everything. Thank you Misa for a fantastic afternoon 🙏🇻🇳🏴
Mr. How and his driver fantastic! Great knowledge, excellent English and so fun! We all enjoyed our trip with him. I highly recommend them! Team was excellent at pick up and being on time and texting with WhatsApp. Appreciate the great customer communication!
Interesting visit to sanctuary and mountains. Wear comfy shoes for climb up Marble mountain. Thiem, our guide, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Recommended
Delivers on what is promised: prompt timely pickup, etc. guide was friendly and helpful. Sites were well worth visiting. Only downside was the crowds at some points.
We had a wonderful tour with Chau. He was prompt, well organized, informative, and very friendly. This tour was a great way to see beautiful parts of DaNang and Chau made it so enjoyable. He is an excellent photographer and I really appreciated his tips. Thanks, Chau, for a great time!
tour guide Michael was great tour was good very informative the only thing not a fan of the marble shop
Guide did a great job. There are a lot of steep steps to the very top but I managed. Very interesting and beautiful combination of places very close to Danang. My pickup in Danang was just after 8 a.m. and I was back at the hotel (even after a simple rice noodle lunch nearby) by about 12:30, giving me the rest of the day to do other things.
Well organized group tour and interesting sights. I can be quite a workout. Be prepared for many, many steps, but well worth it.
We had an amazing time, this tour is a must! Our tour guide was very informative and took great care of us.
I booked this tour as it was advertised that you could get an elevator up to part of the mountain, I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and so struggle with steps especially uneven ones. When we arrived I asked about the elevator and was informed it was around the other side and could not be got to. So I sat in a cafe why the other people went up. When we all met up again we walked to the mini bus and there was the elevator, really annoyed about this as I could have enjoyed the trip but due to not fitting in with the other people the tour guide left me out. If he had taken the time to explain or even show me it would have been a totally different experience for me instead I was left looking at a so called mountain drinking a coffee. The food was as excellent but save your money unless you really want to buy very expensive marble gifts and look at caves.
Hue our guide was a local and very knowledgeable about the area. His English was excellent. We covered a lot of sights & there was plenty of time to ask questions. Lunch included delicious vegetarian options.
Very good and informative tour. We loved the caves and the difference of hell cave and heavens cave . Very unique and the tour guide and driver were efficient and friendly
Tour was amazing, guide super funny. Hao gave a lot of information to prepare us for the climb beforehand. Hao detailed a lot of the historical, mythical and cultural significance of the mountains as well as the Lady Buddha statue. Definitely recommend.
Everything was perfect! Very nice experience ! Our guide was excelent person and she explain us everithing needed with a good english !
Kevin is a great tour guide. Funny and very informative. Really enjoyed the caves and natural beauty and there was plenty of time at each spot. Lunch was also good
Guide spoke very good English and very knowledgeable and helpful. Marble mountain and Am Phu cave very beautiful worth a visit
So interesting to visit, our guide Hào was a mine of information, he gave us time to wander for ourselves and was very attentive. I'm older and needed a bit more time with the steps, than the younger ones, but at no time felt hurried. The caves are amazing and the goddess statue, truly awesome.
Lung was an excellent tour guide, very informative and with a terrific sense of humor. The lunch spot was a local restaurant where the food was delicious (vegetarian option available). I compared notes with another solo traveler who had been to Marble Mountain with a different tour company. Our experiences were like night and day since that tour guide had not joined their group around the mountain (just provided a time and spot for everyone to reconvene after telling them about the mountain at its base). I'm so happy that Handsome Lung was by our side with us for the entire tour. Thank you so very much!
Honestly, one of the best tours I’ve been on with TripAdvisor. Our guide Chao was the most attentive and entertaining guide I have had in a long time. He really made the short half day tour so enjoyable! Lots of facts and information along the way, and funny and entertaining jokes to set the mood. Thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Chao! 10/10
Great tour of interesting places. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about both of the sites that we visited. The included lunch was different and excellent.
Marble Mountain in Da Nang is absolutely worth a visit! We rode there by motorbike, which made the trip even more exciting. The entrance fee is low, and there are plenty of shops around the area. Once inside, we were amazed by the incredible caves and beautiful temples hidden within the mountain. The viewpoint at the top offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surroundings. A truly unique and unforgettable experience!
Nice and well-organized trip. Our guide was Thien. Really nice guy and very good English. He gave us not too much and not too little information about places we visited.
Kevin was great tour guide. Gave us so much information and made us all laugh. Very informative about history. Highly recommend
Lucy is a very good experience tours guide. Introduction on every attraction in the itinerary. We are happy and enjoyed the tours today.
Lucy our tour guide was wonderful. Very patient and knowledgeable. Easy to communicate with. Great value for money. Would recommend this tour.
Very nice place to visit, and definitely a must see when in Da Nang. Good price, only one complaint and that’s there are next to no toilets on top. Bring good walking shoes as there is a lot of walking on uneven surfaces.
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Sherlock entertained us and was very informative about the journey. Enjoyed the meal at the end too
Good visit. The guide Sherlock made the experience enjoyable. This was our second trip with Venus Travels and both were organised very well
We had the max 12 people on our tour but the bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. Our charming guide, Thien, had plenty of very interesting things to say on the way and spoke excellent English. The tour was quite fast-paced but there was sufficient time to take photos and appreciate the truly beautiful sites visited. The 250 steps up to the "heaven" element of marble mountain were very steep and also varied in height making it pretty arduous in the heat. Lunch was relaxing and tasty. Altogether a very enjoyable tour.
This place is a tourist trap. A cave with symbols for “hell” - you have to climb down a lot of wet slippery steps. Beware.- it is very cheesy. The to “heaven” - you have to climb a 100 steps to get to the next level- a total of 500 steps. I had no problem climbing the dragon 500 steps in ninh binh- at your pace. But this tour person kept moving like there is a plane to catch. There is an elevator but our tour guide was too cheap to pay for the elevator. Half way up, my back started hurting after 2 back surgery so I came back down. My husband continued; he then called me on WhatsApp and told me the tour ends at a different point and now I am waiting for the driver to pick me up to go to their end the meeting point. If you are older or have some difficulty climbing don’t come here. The steps are narrow and steep. So far this tour is cheap and cheesy.
Fantastic excursion, great value for money. Picked up on time from Hoian town centre by the guide and our driver. Both very friendly, the guide was a great guy, spoke exceptionally good English and was so knowledgable. Would highly recommend
Many beautiful temples and gods in the mountains and in the caves. One of the biggest Guang Yin (Lady Buddha) was here. One of the best places to visit !! You will never be regretted !! Must see even if you are not buddhist !!
Helen our tour guide was the best! She was very helpful and patient with us. Helen assisted us with all our queries, and took great group photos! and she was very cheerful all throughout the tour even when it was hot and crowded. five out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great tour with a really knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of amazing views and interesting facts. Tour guide Harry was also really caring and attentive to everyone. Would recommend if you're looking for a half day tour in Danang and Hoi an
Been a nice morning out. The guide was professional. The stops well worth a visit. Pagoda and caves were beautiful. Hardly any monkeys. Lunch basic
We had a lot of fun on this tour, the sights were beautiful and we saw so many things in the half day with (handsome) Lung, who was an entertaining tour guide - funny yet knowledgeable. Also very helpful in taking awesome memorable photos for us. Highly recommended.
A well organised, friendly and informative trip from ‘handsome guide’ and ‘handsome driver’ - would recommend to all.
Tony was a fantastic guide and a wealth of information. The mountains and temples were beautiful and well worth the trip.
Well organised, helpful, good pace and a nice balance between free time and group activity. Very good guide and driver. The dinner was also tasty and they catered well to individual preferences.
Thanks for the lovely tour, good spots, it was fun, despite the bad weather. We managed to learn few things about Vietnam as well
Our tour guide - Michael - was very informative and funny. We had lots of fun on our tour and learnt lots about both the sites and Buddhist principles. The site is stunning but hasn't got much signage so the benefit of visiting with a guide was expert information and stories. I was a little worried about the steps up the mountain but we took it slow as a group with plenty of breaks. Go team Michael!!!
Other than the fact that it rained the entire trip, the actual itinerary was good. Now I know why they call it monkey mountain! Tons of monkeys playing around the tourists. Marble mountain was beautiful even in the rain and the short stop at the factory was worthwhile.
Excellent tour, i really enjoyed myself. The amount of at each spot was perfect and the sites were fascinating. Our tour guide (whose name I cannot spell) was fantastic, spoke excellent English and was really informative. I’d definitely recommend the tour if you’re looking for a short, half-day tour of the Marble Mountain/Lady Buddha.
An interesting tour . If yr not into climbing lots of steps the you may not appreciate Marble Mt . Guides helpful and informative
Had a great tour with Nhan it was very informative and great funny conversations. The weather was fabulous and got many great pictures for memories. The lunch was delicious. Definitely book this tour worth the money and time.
Our guide, Michael was great, really good English and made the tour fun and interesting. He was good to remind us of wet and slippery steps. Easy pick up and return to the hotel, good clear instructions. Enjoyed both sites, would recommend the afternoon trip to see the sunset, plus think less busy. Only drawback was visit to marble shop, pushy sales, but everyone is trying to make a living here.
Our guide, Misa, was fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a wealth of historical facts and background information at each site. Despite the tour group being quite large (around 15-16 people), she kept everyone safe, accounted for, and well-informed throughout the day. The organization of the tour was spot on, and we were given ample time to explore each location, soaking in the beautiful views and cultural insights. Misa's enthusiasm and attention to detail made the tour even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about these incredible sites—it's a perfect blend of adventure and education!
