- Tommy Dao Tours - Explore the tunnels and grottoes of Thuy Son, the sole Marble Mountain accessible to visitors. Be amazed by the Buddhist temples carved into the rock, and then proceed to the hilltop for breathtaking city views. Participate in a guided tour to delve into the mountains’ history. To reach the top, you can either take the elevator or climb the stairs; if you opt for the stairs, exercise caution as the marble steps can be slippery. It’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the day to avoid the midday heat and crowds.
Additionally, visit the Am Phu Cave in the Marble Mountains Tourist Area, located in Hoa Hai Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang. Here, you can admire the somewhat mysterious landscape and gain insights into the philosophy of life and the law of karma, the spiritual principle of cause and effect where a person’s intentions and actions influence their future.
- Lady Buddha - As the tallest Buddha statue in Vietnam, Lady Buddha Da Nang is situated at Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, 9 km from My Khe beach and 14 km from Da Nang city center. The Lady Buddha Da Nang statue stands within the Linh Ung pagoda courtyard, reaching a height of 67m, with a lotus diameter of 35m, comparable to a 30-story building.
- Dragon Bridge - The renowned Dragon Bridge spans the picturesque Han River in Da Nang. In addition to its stunning architecture, this bridge is celebrated for its thrilling water and fire performances.

Great experience holiday in Da Nang September 2024 - We arrived in Da Nang on 14/9. Actually we booked service of Tommy Dao starting on 15/9, but it is really great when they picked up us at airport and send to our hotel. We did a day tour to Bana Hills and then visit Hoi An on the next day. Excellent service with time punctuality and knowledgeable tourist guide. Credit to Mr. Cong, young tourist guide and perfect speaking in english. Highly recommended

The guide was amazing - The entire experience was amazing due in part to the guide that met us. An old war veteran that was full of surprises and told many stories about the past and the area. The personal experience that he shares with us was exemplary. I think his name was "Can"... but not sure. If anyone else recalls this gentleman's name please let me know. I am going back to Vietnam in 2020 and would like to look this man up.

A Big Day with a Late Start. - Firstly, prepare yourselves for the steps. Be aware there is a lift at Marble Mountain. Good footwear is essential with good grip. Wet weather would bring restrictions to the access of Marble Mountain.
Had a great trip with our own driver and car. We picked up our guide at Da Nang and went to Marble Mountain first. How amazing it was. From the views on the outer of the Mountain and ancient temple's to the inner of the Mountain with more areas to be amazed with.
Then we went to see the majestic Lady Buddha on the Peninsula along with they many other adorning idol's.
A Truely Beautiful area. It looks out onto the bay of Da Nang. At night the lights are a picture indeed.
Then off to a restaurant for an evenjng meal. Traditional Vietnamese style. Was lovely.
After the refue, we were then taken to watch the Drogon Bridge come to life. This only happens twice a week. Saturday and Sunday evenings . We got a very good vantage spot to watch the action. It will be one of my happy thoughts for a long time to come.
Then the end of the evening came with our return to our accommodation.
Our tour started at 3pm and ended at 11pm. A big day with a late start.
But fantastic time. Must Do.

Marble mountain - My husband and I enjoyed the tour to Marble mountain with Lam and Phe. Lam is an excellent guide and we were given a thorough understanding of the history and culture of the area. Highlight was dinner at Green Chilli restaurant with great tasting food and service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour of Marble Mountain - Just came back from half day trip to Marble Mountains, Lady Buddha Statue Dragon Bridge & Da Nang by night tour, booked through Tommy Dao Tours and it was amazing.
Our guide Hua was fantastic, so knowledgeable and had us in stitches laughing with her fun sense of humour. Our driver Phe, was professional, safe and extremely good.
We had a minor hiccup during the tour outside the control of the tour staff.
To ensure that we had the best possible experience, even though the issue was not the fault of Tommy Dao Tours, we were treated to a fantastic meal with Tommy Dao himself, at a local Hoi An restaurant the next day.
This was one of the best meals we have had in Vietnam in past few trips.
Highly recommend Tommy Dao and his staff for any tours you may be interested in.

Marble mountain - We heard about Tommy Dao tours on FB page. Contacted them on messenger in the morning, immediately responded and we were booked to go in the afternoon. Had the pleasure of meeting Mr Ken and enjoyed listening to all the history of Vietnam. We learnt so much. He also took time to take lots of family photos for us along the way. It was a great afternoon. Highly recommend, ask for Mr Ken 👍

Marble Mountain, Son Tra Peninsula and Hoi An Transfer - We had a fabulous time with Tommy Dao Tours on our recent overnight cruise ship stay. Tommy arranged our return transfer to Hoi An from the cruise port so we could enjoy several hours in Hoi An in the late afternoon and evening. Then the following day Tommy drove us to Son Tra Peninsula and Marble Mountain and also provided us with a city tour. At the very last minute we changed the booking we had made months earlier and switched the tour days around so we could enjoy Hoi An at night and Tommy very professionally handled our unexpected request without any problem at all although we know it created a headache for Tommy at the time. We would highly recommend a private tour with Tommy's company. You wont be disappointed.
