Get to know the cultural and commercial heart of central Vietnam with a full day to explore the sights around Da Nang. This private tour shows you the natural landscapes and local charm that frame the world-class city, with a look at its history and visits to some of its most popular sites.

Once your guide choices you up from your hotel, take a drive to the spectacular Marble Mountains, a series of 5 marble and limestone hills that tower over the outskirts of town. Here, you can get a magnificent view of Da Nang, visit the pagodas and Buddhist sanctuaries, and check out the sophisticated carved stoneworks made by local craftsmen before you go.

Next, explore the exhibits at the Cham Museum, home to a vast collection of artefacts from the Champa kingdoms that dominated central Vietnam until the 19th century. Stop for lunch after your visit to the museum, and then make a stop at the Dong Dinh Museum to see its antiques, artwork, and beautiful garden on your way to the Son Tra Peninsula.

At the Linh Ung pagoda, you get a look at the towering statue of Quan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, along with the figures of several Buddhist arhats that line the path to the temple. Admire sculptures of the Shakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin, and Tripittaka before you move on for the final leg of your tour. Pass the Thuan Phuoc Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam, and then go for a walk on the white sandy beach before you start the ride back to your hotel.
