    Lam is the absolute best tour guide!

    Highly recommended booking with Xuan Tu tours! Our family booked the private tour with Lam and we're so happy with our experience!  Before our trip I had researched the highlights that fit our family’s interest, and we were able to customize exactly what we wanted to see and do.  The communication prior to the trip was excellent.  During the tour Lam was such a pleasure to spend the day with- was calm, patient, kind, and went with our family’s pace.  We had to take a break before our bike ride as the kids were getting exhausted with our schedule and heat.  The whole time Lam was positive and adjusted the itinerary as the day went on.  I feel we walked away learning so much about the culture and history of Da Nang and Vietnam.   We enjoyed it so much that we added a second experience the next day.   We went with Lam at 6am and went snorkeling, paddle boarding and seeing the local fisherman in the water.  We didn't feel like tourists, we felt more like his personal guest!  Would highly recommend this experience and especially Lam to everyone considering a tour.

    Perfect tour and 5 Star Ratings for Lam and Su-the absolute best, most exceptional tour guides!

    We had absolutely incredible experiences in Vietnam, made truly unforgettable by two exceptional guides—Su in Ninh Binh and Lam in Da Nang. Our day in Ninh Binh with Su was beyond perfect. She is an outstanding tour guide—attentive, informative, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing history and insights in clear, excellent English. Beyond that, she is genuinely warm, kind, thoughtful, and sweet, always anticipating our needs and making sure we were comfortable every step of the way. She helped us see all of the highlights seamlessly, took beautiful photos for us, and made the entire day feel effortless and special. Our driver was also exceptional—professional, safe, and courteous throughout. In Da Nang, we were so fortunate to spend two days touring with Lam, who was equally amazing. He is warm, friendly, and genuinely caring, and we truly enjoyed every moment of his company. He treated us to delicious Vietnamese coffee, proudly shared his love for his country, and brought history to life with his deep knowledge and engaging storytelling. He was the perfect guide for My Son Sanctuary and Ba Na Hills—we learned so much, laughed a lot, and had an incredible time. Both Su and Lam went above and beyond in every way. We could not have asked for better guides or more memorable experiences. Highly, highly recommend—this was truly 5-star service from start to finish.

    Exceptional Private Tour with an Outstanding Guide & Safe Driver

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private tour to Hoi An and Ba Na Hills! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well organised, and truly enjoyable. Our tour guide, Ms Laura was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, sharing so many interesting insights about the history, culture, and local life along the way. She truly went beyond the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip — adjusting the pace to suit us, recommending great photo spots, and sharing local tips that made the experience even more special. We would also like to commend our driver, Mr Tanh, who was extremely helpful and professional. He drove very safely, making the journey comfortable and stress-free, and was always attentive to our needs along the way. Hoi An was charming and beautiful, and Ba Na Hills was absolutely breathtaking. Having a private tour made all the difference as we could enjoy everything at our own pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a personalised, safe, and memorable tour experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver!

    Great experiences in Vietnam

    Our tour guide, Lam provides exceptional customer service. He brings us to main attractions as well as interesting places outside the main attractions. He is very experience and customer centric. We have been using his service for many trips already and he is now a good friend to each group members which he hosted. Lam would bring us to local eateries to experience local delights and sample the wide varieties of Vietnamese food. His wife also runs nice vegan restaurants and serve nice interesting dishes and drinks.

    Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Nang.

    How much does Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Da Nang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Da Nang is not rushed.

    Is Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 811 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Da Nang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems?

    +

    Around 284 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Da Nang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Da Nang and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Da Nang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Da Nang?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Da Nang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills Small Group Tour, Easy Rider Motorbike Tour via Hai Van Pass From DaNang/HoiAn/Hue, Linh Ung Pagoda - Marble Mountains - Hoi An Ancient Town Daily Ingroup Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Da Nang?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Da Nang?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems?

    +

    Included: All entrance fee; Local food & drinks; Bottled water; English Speaking Guide; and Use of a modern vehicle with professional driver. Not included: Gratitude. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Da Nang & Hoi An: Food, Sightseeing, Culture & Hidden Gems offered in?

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
