Excellent day trip so the mountains! - We thoroughly enjoyed our full-day tour to Dalat with our guide, Dragon. Dragon was not only knowledgeable but like previous reviews have mentioned he was a great photographer too and we have some awesome memories. The cooler mountain temperatures provided a refreshing escape from the heat. A highlight was definitely the roller coaster ride at Datanla Waterfall. Dragon also took us to a local eatery for a delicious lunch. We would have loved to have spent several days exploring this area but were thankful for the one great day we had.

Would recommend this trip. - What a great day out. We enjoyed all the stops and had sufficient time in each. Also it’s a special mention to the Cresta Run (rollercoaster) at the waterfall, great fun. Dalat is down for a return visit as the highlands are stunning. We were also fortunate to have such an excellent guide/driver in Dragon. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a great photographer! He gave us loads of background information and was always able to answer my many questions. We had bad weather going back over the mountain pass and it was dark but we felt very safe with Dragon driving. We were dropped back at our hotel after having had a marvellous day out.
