Marble Mountain and Hoi An delight!
Had a great tour with Destiny going to Marble Mountain and on to Hoi An. Tommy Travel met us at the Chan May cruise port and took six of us on a private tour the day we were leaving Hue to head to our next stop. Destiny is extremely knowledgeable and gave us enough information about the area and the sites we were seeing. Marble Mountain was very beautiful either the pagodas and monuments. Visiting the large cave where the Vietnamese converted to a hospital during the war with the United States was thought provoking. Hoi A was another 30 minutes down the beautiful countryside and well worth the stop. Unfortunately we had limited time in Hoi A because of our imminent departure. It is a city you could spend several days exploring! All in all, we had a 5 * tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Amiee, Wow… thank you so much for this beautiful review! It truly means a lot to me and my team to hear that you had such a great day with Destiny. She will be very happy to know that her knowledge and passion helped make the experience special for you. Marble Mountains is always a meaningful visit — especially the cave hospital. It’s one of those places that really makes you pause and reflect. And yes… Hội An is a place that deserves a few days, not just a few hours 😊 Hopefully next time you can stay longer and enjoy it properly. Thank you again for trusting Tommy Dao Tours to take care of your group from Chan May Port. It was our pleasure to be part of your journey, and we’re so grateful for your 5-star support. Wishing all six of you safe travels to your next destination — and we hope to see you back in Vietnam one day! Warm regards, Tommy

Insightful and personal account of the history and beautiful scenery
Insightful trip and very informative guide, Ken who survived the Vietnam war and told us his first hand account of his experiences. Our driver Tommy was also excellent. The Marble Mountains were really worth a visit with lots to see, beautiful gardens and Buddhas . We had a traditional Vietnamese lunch on the riverbank which was fresh and delicious before heading to Hoi An . Hoi An is a pretty town with well preserved buildings. There you can see French and Chinese influences and well as a bustling market for bargain hunters. Again, Ken was very knowledgeable. Our day finished with a brief but worthwhile visit to the famous white sands of China Beach . We were very impressed with Ken’s detailed knowledge. Good timekeeping both on pick up and drop off from our cruise ship.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Fran and friends, thank you very much for your sincere positive review about the private tour with us on February 27th 2024. Ship docked at Da Nang port at 7:30am and departed at 6pm. We tried to make the perfect tour for 4 of you and having the best memory with us in Da Nang and Hoi An. We wish you a wonderful cruise ship in Việt Nam and return home safely. Mr Ken and Tommy

We were picked up on time had wifi in Airconditioner van a great driver and a very knowledgeable tour guide called ken.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Hoi An is not rushed.
Is Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City?
+
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 Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City?
+
Around 1 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 Hoi An 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 Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour from Da Nang port to Marble Mountains & Hoi An City 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 Hoi An 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 Hoi An?
+
On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HOI AN Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking. 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 Hoi An?
+
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 Hoi An?
+
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.
