10000/10 recommend
We had such an amazing day with Vu as our tour guide! We toured Marble Mountain, did the coconut boat experience, and explored Hoi An Old Town; everything was so well organized and smooth. Vu went above and beyond by adding local coffee and food stops for us to try, and he even treated us to sweet soup in Hoi An, which was such a thoughtful touch. We learned so much throughout the day and truly felt well taken care of the entire time. Highly, highly recommend Vu if you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and attentive tour guide!
Response from the operator: Dear FayeNicole, Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful day with Vu. It’s great to know you enjoyed Marble Mountain, the coconut boat experience, and exploring Hoi An Old Town, and that everything felt smooth and well organized. Vu will be especially happy to hear that you appreciated the local coffee and food stops — and of course the sweet soup in Hoi An. He truly loves sharing those little local touches to make the experience more special. Your kind words about his knowledge, attentiveness, and care mean a lot to all of us. We’re very grateful for your recommendation. It was our pleasure to take care of you, and we hope to welcome you back to Vietnam again in the future! Warm regards, Kong

Awesome tour, we will recommend 100%
Great tour. Great guide, Vu was awesome. Kong our agent looked after everything for us. Mable Mountain was very hard, lots of steps. We made it to hello, but couldn't make it to heaven. Our legs were very tired by the end. Still a fantastic day.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Private Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 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 Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour?
+
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 Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour 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 Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Eco Tour Cooking Class & Fishing (Local market,basket boat,learn 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.
What is included in Private Trip to Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain & Food Tour?

+
