I want to thank our amazing tour guide Kevin for the tour today! Not only were the views and history stunning, Kevin was a very funny guy and made the journey worth it. Would recommend to all :) Dont be scared of the trek up the caves, it is not that bad and can be completed with a few breaks.

Good tour overall
Peter_N, Jan 2025
The tour was good. We saw everything we were supposed to see. The guide explained everything. The only problem was that we kept getting text messages telling us that they will be delayed picking us up from our hotel. This happened several times, so in total, we were delayed 45 minutes just starting our tour. At Marble Mountain, we were told we could not take the elevator to the top because it was not working. But we in fact saw it go up down. We would have preferred to pay extra for elevator. The stairs were very steep and dangerous because they were uneven. On the way down, several sections of the stairs do not have any lights, so it's easy to fall.
Guide not the best
ErikZeiner_H, Jan 2025
The caves and the temples were absolutely stunning, but the guide was a bit of a clown. Michael's humor might not be to everyone's taste. The show is mostly about him, while he is rather thin on historical information. I saw other groups along our way who had better guides. It was still worth it for the attractions, though. You should absolutely take half a day to see these places. Also there is the added bonus of these places not being very far apart, so not very much time is spent in the car. A bottle of water is also included in the ticket.
Room for improvement
Jonathan_M, Dec 2024
Overall we enjoyed this tour, our guide was knowledgeable and the advertised sites were worth seeing but I believe there are some things that could be better. Not advertised is a stop at a marble statue production and sales centre. There is a short education about marble statue creation but the real reason you’re brought here is in the hope you’ll buy something. There a lots of sales people following you around which didn’t feel great. The tour also felt rushed when you were at the actual temple. There would be more time at the temple and Buddha if there was no pit stop at the marble statue sale stop. I suspect the reason it’s not listed as a stop is because it would not be appealing for most people and less people would book this trip so be aware.
Informative & Fun Experience thanks to Michael
Adam_B, Dec 2024
We are so glad we booked this tour, and very fortunate to have gotten Michael as our tour guide. Not only was it very informative, it was also very entertaining. Our tour guide, Michael truly gave us an unforgettable experience. He was very knowledgeable about each site, as well as the surrounding areas. At each stop, he even offered to take photos for anyone who would like to be in their photo. I must add, the photos and videos turned out amazing! He made it fun by suggesting poses and ideas for short videos. Thanks again for an incredible experience!

Perfect half day of activities
Resham_S, Dec 2024
Nice mix of views/experiences for a half day tour. We were given a good amount of information/history by our tour guide Liam. I can’t believe some people on here are leaving comments they were mad they didn’t see monkeys on Monkey Mountain. We did, but that’s nature and no one’s fault if you do not see a wild animal. That isn’t a highlight of the tour anyway and you’ll see those types of monkeys on the rest of your trip at some point anyway!

Nice tour
Wytze_H, Nov 2024
Good tour, Mr Ciao was a knowledgeable and nice guide. Didn’t get to see any monkeys sadly, and it’s not exactly a hike, if that’s what you’re thinking (we did). Otherwise, it’s cool. Get to see the massive statue and the marble mountains.

Very disappointed
CELINE_V, Nov 2024
To be honest, this was not a good tour. The guide was always in a rush, we had to run to follow him, we had no time to take pictures and we had no explainations about history or anything. Very disappointed. I could have done this tour bymyself, I would have taken more time to explore. I would suggest people to not take a tour for the marble mountains.
The sweat is worth it!
Regina_E, Oct 2024
It’s good to sweat here in Vietnam! Walk up all the stairs for a breezy gorgeous view! It was beautiful and we had a lovely time exploring.

Wouldn’t recommend
Sameera_K, Sep 2024
This tour was just alright, nothing crazy good or amazing. Kind of felt flat in comparison to other experiences in Vietnam. We weren’t given much description of the history or the city. Or were told the plan for the tour. The guide was very sweet but not informative. We were also taken to a fake marble looking “factory” gift shop thing which is a classic tourist trap. We were told we’d see how marble statues are made but there was nothing of that sort. They provided a free cold water. The van AC was not that good. The hike to the helipad felt unnecessary since we could see the same view from the bottom. We only went to the main cave with the Buddha and couldn’t explore any other caves. Pickup and drop off was perfect.
Pretty good tour
William_M, Aug 2024
Overall the tour was pretty good. One of the highlights was the bonsai collection at the Budda status Monkey Mountain. Very impressive. Tour guide Lung was really good. Took a while to pick up everyone on the bus, but we were first. Was a very hot day in the sun, and inside the cave was quite hot too. Overall pretty good, and good value. Would not be good when raining due to the steps in both locations. Apparently it gets quite dangerous when slippery.

Great half day tour
Simone_O, Aug 2024
The tour transport was on time at each stop along the way through the tour. The bus was air conditioned and very comfortable. Our tour guide Luan - the very handsome lung - was extremely kind and friendly and made sure the whole tour met our expectations. Luan is a very knowledgeable local who made the tour very worthwhile.

Don’t book with viator !
MARGARET_S, May 2024
guide rushed us during tour ! we didn’t see any monkeys as He said at monkey mountain. The marble mountain had many strps to go up after the elevator ride which was not mentionned. I have a hip issue, The whole group decided not to continue with the tour, We didn’t stay for sunset either as mentioned! To add , My son coulnt go last minute since he was sick .I adked a refund and they just gave me 3$ back. Then we saw he bought our tickets ar the counter! I felt lied to and robbed ! Don’t go with a tour ! Just take a grab and viisit yourself ! Very disappointed in Viatorr !

Great experience
Keren_S, May 2024
Everything was great! I especially loved the last cave and viewpoint at sunset. Cuong is a great guide, very friendly and funny. Eight is also an amazing driver. I would highly recommend that you bring: - Hiking shoes or comfy sneakers - Mosquito repellent and sunscreen - Snacks and drinks - Breathable and comfy clothes - A hat - A fan It is hot and humid in some of the caves and you will be hiking around 300 steps of stairs in the sun.
