I spent wonderful time! I was able to feel the nature, and at the end I was able to meet a monkey! Lunch at a local's house was also interesting. Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience on the Marble Mountains & Monkey Mountains day trip with Simply Vietnam yesterday - would 100% recommend this tour for travelers in the Hoi An/Da Nang area! Our group's guide was Quyen, and she was a fantastic host: very personable, engaging, and full of knowledge about the area. She was super friendly, and did an excellent job herding our group of 13 throughout the tour. For the overall itinerary, I'd say this day trip also does a great job of keeping things organized and interested. They picked me up at my hotel right at the designated time, and the van was comfortable and spacious to fit the full group. There were 13 in our group altogether - a bit larger than some small-group tours I've taken, but still small enough that it felt intimate (and Quyen was very willing to answer any questions!) The tour itself is a good mix of sites and activities - the Marble Mountains area is fascinating with both great views of Da Nang and the surrounding regions, as well as exploring local religious/Buddhist sites located within the mountain complex - the cave sites are really incredible. While there are a lot of steps, and it can be a bit of a workout, this tour should be very doable for anyone without significant mobility issues. The lunch (at a local home) was great as well. One caveat: this area and these sites are very popular, and there were a lot of other tourists (and tour groups) there as well...though this makes me recommend Simply Vietnam's tour even more strongly, as having caught bits of some of the other tour guides' speeches, I felt like we were getting much more insight and information from Quyen than some of the bigger tours. The 2nd site (Monkey Mountains) with the giant Lady Buddha was similarly gorgeous, and not too far of a ride from the lunch location. Overall, while there is a decent amount of car time to get to/from the sites it's broken up pretty well so it never felt like we were spending all day in the van. Overall, despite not knowing much about these locations before booking, I'm very glad I took this tour, and its a great change of pace from Hoi An and the old town/beaches. I am still in the midst of a South-North trip through Vietnam - but I can say this tour was already one of my highlights!sophiejN6154JW

The marble mountains have much more to offer than what you expect. I think without a Tourguide you don’t get the whole meaning and can’t appreciate as much if you just walk through by yourself. We probably would not have found the sweet little steep entrance to heaven without Lin showing and explaining us. A lot of steps in the heat though, but worth it! Good price for what you get in a very small group (we’ve been 4 persons) Nice tour which we can recommend doing with simply Vietnam travel. Lin was such a sweet company on this trip!Manon V

Vandaag een tour gedaan naar marble mountain, monkey mountain en als afsluiter gesnorkerkeld met onze hele gezellig guide Turtle. Hij wist vanalles te vertellen over de plekken waar we waren en vertelde hier met veel plezier over. Sprak goed engels en beantwoorde alle vragen die we hadden enthousiast. Gaf ons overal de tijd die wij nodig hadden om foto's te maken. Ook onze chauffeur was erg vriendelijk, me geen moment onveilig gevoeld. Wijzelf en onze spullen werden goed in de gaten gehouden, maar we mochten tijdens het snorkelen gewoon onze eigen gang gaan. Kortom een super trip gehad.
