Our guide Khiem was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Nothing was too much trouble and he structured our visit to fit in with what we needed to do within our timeframe!
Visited temples and shrines with a lovely cup of refreshing coffee ( courtesy of Khiem) along with a lovely local lunch! again he explained in detail what we were having and how to eat it!!
Photos taken by the beach/rocks with beautiful backdrops
The car we were in! Was clean and smelt really clean and nice ! The driver was also very good! Very careful and safe driving on roads that were a bit chaotic to say the least!
All in all an excellent day and highly recommended

This is a great tour to do if you want to see the highlights of Nha Trang. Air conditioned private car with a guide to collect tickets and show you around. Bo was our driver and he was fantastic and gave us some history notes on the areas visited. We finished our tour with a lovely bowl of pho and a cold beer

Decent tour primarily organised to take photos of the key sites dotted around the nha trang city area . The two gripes we had with the tour is the lack of information for each site we visited and the substandard lunch offered (tiny street food stall down a deserted street ) in relation to the relatively high price of the tour .

Dragon was as a great guide. Very knowledgeable and has missed his calling not being a professional photographer with an iPhone 15 pro max. He memorialized our day in excellent photos. We had a great day and would fully endorse/recommend him.

We really enjoyed this tour. We had a driver and a tour guide.
Lee the tour guide was brilliant, he took us to some amazing places.
The food we ate was authentic and very enjoyable.
At the market we bought coconuts to drink and eat.
The Rock was great, so was Shiva and the lying down Buddha.
Great trip but Lee was the icing on the cake, a great guide.
