Excellent view and tour guide. Like others mentions, khanh was the best. He organized the tour for us. This is the cheapest option for a private tour
Bana Hills needs to be on your to do list.

We booked this private tour with Khanh prior to leaving Australia. Khanh has been incredible helpful in organising all our transfers and activities during our stay in the Hoi An/ Da Nang area. Excellent communication and super flexible in customising our trip to be exactly what we wanted.
Khanh himself was our guide for today and met us at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable about his home town Hoi An and we are so glad that we had him with us otherwise we would have got incredibly lost in Bana Hills.
Bana Hills is mind blowing, the scale and attention to detail is incredible. Visiting during wet season means that it was raining however the mist and the fog made it even more mysterious and magical. Our children had a fantastic day & Khanh was very patient and kind, helping our youngest with his rain poncho and holding his hand in slippery areas.
Highly recommend visiting Bana Hills and getting a private tour guide who knows the best times, best photo locations and their way around!
Working with Khanh has made planning this leg of our Vietnam holiday incredibly easy & stress free! Himself was the perfect guide for our family and we hope to see her again our travels!
Unforgettable

We had an incredible experience with Mate Hoi An Tours! We arranged airport transportation and two tours—Coconut Boat Tour and Ba Na Hills—and every moment was exceptional. My wife uses walking sticks, which can make getting around challenging, but Khanh was incredibly accommodating. He made sure we saw everything we wanted, and more! They took fantastic photos, and even adjusted the tour to include a visit to our tailor and a stop for Cao Lau. Khanh’s Tours are perfect for those looking for a personalized experience, not just a “tourist” experience. He was always just a WhatsApp message away, ensuring we had everything we needed. Highly recommend Mate Hoi An Tours for anyone looking for a seamless, tailored, and unforgettable adventure! Last but not least, he was not engaged with any OTA ( Tripadvisor, get your guide), so his tours are usually 30% cheaper than others.

Although we visited in the rainy season and the day of this trip was particularly wet and foggy to start with, Khanh and his driver went out of their way to schedule the day for us to make the most of it. The majority of the Ba Na Hills excursion is within the (quite vast) Sunworld Ba Na Hills park – including the Longest Cable Car ride in the World! Whilst a lot of the day was foggy, we concentrated on more of the indoor activities, free beer at a German craft beer brewery up in the mountains, a couple of very good 4D movies, a nice lunch. By this time the fog had lifted somewhat so we headed to the Hands Bridge and got some good pics.
Would imagine it’s a different experience in the Summer – both in terms of weather and, of course, number of visitors!
Khanh communicated professionally with us and we have subsequently also booked him for airport transfer at the end of our stay.
Would highly recommend Mate Hoi An Tours for anyone visiting Da Nang or Hoi An.
