Central Vietnam Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had a great day with Su! He was informative, fun and kept great time. You pay for the Datanla admission separately so you can choose what activity you want to do on site. There are many stops during the day but you do not feel rushed at any point. The lunch stop was also delicious. Thank you Su!!!

The trip was well arranged and the guide Josh was very helpful. We were picked up at the hotel at the scheduled time, and we were detailed on the itinerary for the day. Josh gave us a excellent guided tour of all the attractions in ancient town. Overall the trip was fun and exciting.

Had a great time exploring Hoi An and enjoying the Coconut Boat ride with Josh. He was very friendly, helpful, and made the whole trip smooth and fun. The experience was well organized and definitely memorable. Highly recommended!

Anna was an incredible tour guide, and we had so much fun on this tour! I would absolutely recommend. 🙌🏻

Our tour guide, Michael, was truly wonderful. He was very informative and explained everything clearly, while adding a great sense of humour to every topic, which made the entire experience enjoyable.He was energetic, enthusiastic, and always approachable. He made sure that everyone in the group completed the itinerary comfortably and that we finished everything on time. Throughout the trip, he handled everything with a smile and a very positive attitude.His English was also very good, making communication easy and the tour even more enjoyable. Overall, Michael made our trip a memorable and pleasant experience. We really appreciate his dedication, energy, and friendly nature.

Lin was an absolutely fantastic guide. She had the perfect mix between facts and fun on the tour and gave great insights to not only My Son but general stuff about life in Vietnam. If you are considering this tour def do it! Also the early get up is very worth it as it’s completely empty, very peaceful and great for photos.

Alex, Sin, Tri and Huy were great guides! The tour was fun, we felt safe and taken care of the entire tour.

Alex, Sin, Tri, and Huy were amazing, helpful, and super friendly and happy the whole tour. Definitely recommend and was 100% worth the money! All pictured they take also are included with one being printed out as a memento

Greg and I really enjoyed the three waterfalls tour today. The waterfalls were beautiful and not too difficult to get to. The alpine coaster was fantastic. I found the silk factory very interesting and learned a lot. I wasn't too sure i wanted to taste crickets at the cricket farm but they were OK, my husband and thought they were delicious . Huy our tour guide was enthusiastic and fun. He taught us a lot about silk, crickets and coffee. Thanks Huy for a fantastic day!

Incredible experience traveling with our driver from Hoi An to Hue. Trip took about 5 hours total including the excursions. Mr. Top was an incredibly safe and experienced driver who spoke English flawlessly. He explained the sites along the way, gave us food recommendations and was kind enough to share his life experiences with us. He was patient while my husband and I did the various excursions at Marble Mountains, Hai Van Pass, and the lagoon lunch (which was delicious). Views along the way were beautiful especially on Hai Van Pass and the lagoon. Super easy to book and communication with the driver was easy. Highly recommend booking this trip if you're planning to travel between Hoi An and Hue and make sure to ask for Mr. Top as your driver!

Amazing tour with a true local vibe, T was our guide and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was fun, very insightful and made our tour memorable and very worth it!

Such a lovely experience! Getting to see the remains of these ancient hindu temples with such a lovely and informative guide was a real highlight of our trip. We felt very looked after with: pick up from our hotel, coffee on arrival and local noodle dish after touring (included in the price). The group size is small, so we were able to ask questions and chat easily with our very knowledgeable tour guide. We did the Sunrise tour which was an early start but totally worth it! You get to experience the temple without the crowds, a very calm atmosphere to take in the history. Its hot and humid most of the year, so getting out early is good and you aren't walking around for too long. I think the tour suits most people who are in good health and don't mind a bit of walking in the heat. Thanks!

The tour was an excellent escape from the city and into the country. Kha was an excellent guide! Friendly and great with the kids too!

Fantastic experience! We really loved the mix of delicious food and drinks, lantern boat ride, bingo game and exploring colourful side streets. Kim was a fantastic guide, so kind, cheerful, enthusiastic and accommodating of our dietary requirements. Highly recommend!

Outstanding adventure day with Linh and Dong as part of a five day activity package with Phat Tire. Had never been canyoning before and it was ridiculously good fun and well managed by our two brilliant guides. Would have done it five times over if we'd had the time. The pho they took us for on the way back to Dalat was the best food I had in my time in Vietnam. The guys somehow managed to find the time amongst all this to take loads of cool Fotos for us too.

Our private driver, Alex was right on time for our journey to Hue. We stopped at the marble factory to have a look at some incredible works of statues and furniture all made out of marble. We witnessed something amazing in the making as the marble artist chiselled away and I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic work of art.Then he drove us across to begin our start to Marble Mountain. Tickets were not included and it didn't cost very much and it was worth seeing. We got carried away and spent at least an hour going through the caves and was left speechless. It really is an amazing sight to see. There are a lot of steps to take so be prepared.There are sellers selling refreshments and please read the prices before buying as I bought a can of soda and was told it would cost me 40,000VND. As I went to the patio behind to drink it, I noticed the price was 20,000VND. I overpaid for my soda and I witnessed a tourist wanting to buy a bottle of water and was told a different price, he was quick to notice that the price was not right and asked what's going on with the mismatched price, the sellers looked embarrassed and the tourist did not want it anymore. So please be aware and look at the price advertised before buying.Our driver took us to a very nice scenic spot where we hung around for like 15-30 minutes. If you want to spend more time there taking pictures, you are free to do so as it's your private transportation. The coastline is pretty.We then got dropped off at a nice roadside cafe restaurant for a refreshment break and we sat outside where the weather felt nice as the fans really helped. Our drinks were great with good prices.Our private driver Alex was a very good and skilfull driver. We were behind huge long trucks that were very slow on the narrow roads and wanted to get us to our destination in good time. He drives this route almost everyday transporting passengers out of Hanoi to Hue. He knows the roads very well and knows when to take over and anticipates their moves. He knows when he will meet with oncoming cars and changed lanes seamlessly.We arrived at our destination in good time, he drove us there safely and we were very comfortable in the SUV which I highly recommend being in one as there were a lot winding roads leading up to the coastal scenery.
