Fab day in Dalat - Spectacular scenery - We had a fantastic time on a 1-day private tour of Dalat with our guide, Long. We visited the Datanla waterfall and went on the super fun toboggan ride. We also visited the Linh Phuoc temple, Truc Lam monastery (which was wonderfully zen!), Tuyen Lam lake, and Dalat historic railway. Absolutely loved Dalat. Long was a fantastic guide, being very attentive, patient and informative. Long is also a super safe driver, especially up the mountain roads!! Would highly recommend the Dalat 1-day tour and our great tour guide, Long.

Very quick view of Dalat - Yes book this tour if you only have one day to see Dalat. Excellent Driver, very respectful & concerned about your wellbeing the entire day. The driver was always waiting & watching out for us at the tour stops. He took us to a few spots he knew for the best photos, food & coffee too. Although this tour includes alot of stops with options to pay for extra amenities it is a fast day. Choose one (maybe 2) extra paid adventure & let the driver know at the beginning of the trip. We just did the cable car. There would not be enough time to do everything like the train ride, roller coaster, zipline, waterfall repelling, etc. Pick your favorites & discuss this the driver on the way there to arrange the proper amount of time if you want extra activities.

Family Friendly Private Tour - We had a private tour with Long driving us from Nha Trang to Da Lat. Long even stopped at my request so I could take photos of the river. He found a suspension bridge where I could take photos of the bridge and the river. He was knowledgeable and made sure that we had great family photos at each stop.

Highly recommended day trip to Dalat. - We had an amazing day trip to Dalat from Nha Trang. Our driver/ guide Lom was very informative, insightful, knowledgeable and very helpful. His driving skills on the uneven foggy roads was excellent- I felt we were in very competent hands. Lom made this trip one of the highlights of our Vietnamese adventures. We would highly recommend him and this trip. The only regret we had was not spending 2 days in Dalat.

Incredible Da Lat - It was awesome trip to one of the most magical places in Vietnam. Thank's to Long we imagined how this city looked during French times. We expercied as well travel by cable car to the top of Phuang Hoang with visiting Truc Lam included, walk around Linh Phuoc pagoda and great lunch with super tasty soup recommended by Long. While driving cerefully through the beautiful mountains, Long was answering our questions regarding Vietnam. Thanks to this conversation we found out many interesting aspects of life in Vietnam. It was long but very interesting date. Without hesitation we recommend any trip with Long. Basia & Jurek

Thanks again for that.
