Up in the hills of bana
Interesting trip via able car to famous bridge. Guide showed us lots also in the city from monkey mountain to marble mountain and was very knowledgeable about local area. Clear pickup and drop off at cruise port

Flexible and convenient trip
I booked this trip at the last minute, but they responded very quickly and clearly! We had a great optional trip with Tung and our driver. This optional tour is a great idea if you're not sure what to do or how long you should stay. The tour was so flexible and convenient. I highly recommend this to any traveler!

Not the best $ value
The experience was nice and convenient having a personal driver and guide. Our guide was helpful by knowing where to take us on our half day tour and also helped ensure we had decent prices with vendors at the markets. Other than that, it would have been more beneficial to have a guide that explained what the locations entailed before we went and explained the significance or offered interesting facts. It felt like we were just shepharded mainly to tourist attractions where the market visits were the highlights and felt more authentic, albeit still a bit touristy. Didn't feel like this was worth the money dispute how friendly our guide was.

Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $142 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 Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour 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 Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour?

Is Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour 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 Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private Tour?
+
Around 3 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 Shore Excursion: Ba Na Hills, Da Nang & Hoi An Private 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.

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.
