We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Marc, who made our food tour and cruise trip truly memorable. He was extremely friendly, warm and approachable throughout the experience. His excellent knowledge of the area helped us discover several hidden gems and local spots that we would never have found on our own. He was also incredibly helpful and always happy to go the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and dependable guide.

Our Da Nang food tour with Turtle was excellent. He introduced us to great local dishes and provided helpful cultural insight. The Dragon Bridge fire show from the boat was a perfect ending. Turtle is knowledgeable, friendly, and highly recommended.

Our guide Turtle was very helpful and genuine. I like how he gave our experiences context like how he shared how pho noodles were made and explained how to eat some foods. The driver Lee was also good and careful in his driving. I will rate the tour 10/10 very enjoyable tour ending with cruise watching the dragon bridge show.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Marc. The driver and the car were perfect to bring us around Da Nang and the food was great, we would never have found the restaurants on our own! Marc was also very knowledgeable and friendly, there was only me and my husband so we are thankful for the private tour he gave us…he even came and got us in the rain providing us with ponchos, I would highly recommend booking with him!

I am writing to share my feedback regarding our recent tour. We found the experience to be very good and highly recommend it. Our tour guide, Marc, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. We appreciated that the tour was not strictly restricted to the planned areas; Marc took us to various famous eating areas, a granite factory, and local markets. The river cruise at the end of the day was also a great highlight. Additionally, our driver was very professional and the car provided was modern. As there were only two of us, it felt like a very personalized experience. Thank you for a wonderful
