Meet Bao, the MVP - During my travels in other countries, I’ve joined one-on-one guide and photography services before, but this time in Da Nang, I truly felt like I was treated like royalty. A driver and the photographer, Bao, were already waiting at my hotel entrance right on time — and they even brought me a banh mi.
Bao speaks fluent English, which is quite rare in Vietnam, so I was really happy to finally be able to connect and communicate with a local. Even if you didn’t bring your own phone, Bao’s professional equipment alone is jaw-droppingly impressive. He’s a true professional photographer, constantly switching between different lenses to ensure every shot — wide, medium, and close-up — is covered.
I’m extremely satisfied with the photos. That said, I wouldn’t recommend visiting Ba Na Hills on a weekend. Try going on a Wednesday instead — it’s a much better experience without the overwhelming crowds. The whole trip to Ba Na Hills was smooth and seamless. You won’t have to worry about how to get there or get back at all.
To top it all off, before taking you back to the hotel, Bao and the driver even treated me to a bowl of local Vietnamese pho. I truly felt taken care of — and that feeling was simply amazing.

Great tour of Ba Na Hills - Dreamed of visiting Golden Bridge since I saw photos all over the Internet. I hired a private guide from Da Nang Scooter Adventures, Bao. He was terrific! I debated if it was worth hiring a private guide since I saw I could easily have taken a private car up but he was worth every penny. He knew exactly where to go and the good spots for photos. It was raining and cloudy which I thought would ruin the experience but he managed to take great photos that I will cherish. After he took me to a local restaurant for dinner which was delicious. Highly recommend this company for your next trip to Da Nang!

Best private trip ! Thank you ! - I like when someone hustles! I booked a tour on viator than had to cancel . Bao reached out to know the reason behind the cancellation. I explained we have 2 days 1 night in Hoi An /Da Nang and I wanted see more than his tour had . Than we chatted and he customized a tour for us according to my wishes . They picked us up at the airport w breakfast. Than the full day started. Up the mountain, dragon bridge , lunch at a famous Vietnamese place , coconut boat ride than we made our way to Hoi An . Went to the popular sandwich place . Walked around town , light a lantern. Our tour guy was awesome and took so many pictures !! And sent it to us! Our tour finished at 7pm ! Next day we met sunrise , go up to my son sanctuary, went for a breakfast in a rice field , favored by locals, than to the beach . Our tour guide was again awesome, funny . We had a lovely 2 days in the beautiful city .
I highly recommend Bao and his company ! And if you need the private tour he will create a great one for you as he did it for us!
We are grateful to saw everything in a short time! Thank you

Highly recommended tour with amazing guide - Our Guide was Tam and he was amazing.
His tour started early in the morning so that we got the chance to see the golden bridge without other people.
He organized a driver to our airbnb in Hoi An. The driver drove us to Da Nang where we picked up Tam. Because it was so early in the morning Tam brought us two Bánh mì from his favorite shop for breakfast. It was delicious.
It tooks us around 45 minutes to the Ba Na Hills. There we jumped into a cable car up to the top of Ba Na Hills. The view was stunning and we crossed a lot of jungle with the cable car.
After the cable car we went directly to the golden bridge. And how Tam promised we were almost the first people there. It was so nice to see the bridge not that crowded and we got the chance to make some marvelous pictures. (During the whole trip Tam took pictures from us. Sometimes with his phone, sometimes with my camera. They were great and after the trip he sent us all the pictures he took.)
After the Golden Bridge we went to the French Village. It’s very pretty. Tam explained us a lot of interesting things about the French Village, Ba Na Hills, the whole surrounding and about Buddhism. Do not hesitate to ask him questions. He knows a lot and likes to tell you more about his country. We felt very welcomed the whole time.
After the french village we took another cable car and spent some time in Funworld. Kind of theme park. It was funny. There are some shows, some roller coasters, food courts, free games. We didn’t expect to go there. So it was an nice surprise for us 😇. Especially for my friend. He really likes theme parks.
We had also some time to discover the park and the games by ourselves. After this we took the cable car to go down. Again an amazing view.
Our driver from the morning picked us up at the car park and we drove back to Da Nang where we dropped of Tam.
I highly recommend his tour and his company. It’s well spend money and absolutely worth it.
I wish you all the best dear Tam. I hope we see us again once in the future. Lovely greetings caroline

Worth It! - After doing the Hai Van Pass motorbike tour with Tam we booked in this Golden Bridge tour with him too since we had the time of our lives - of course, great decision! We went early and despite it being a weekend, avoided a lot of the crowds that gradually starting rolling in. We got Tam’s unmatched knowledge for the whole area up there - Golden Bridge, French Village, the actual Cable Cars etc. Completely worth it!

Tam is the best ! - Excellent private tour. Our guide Tam was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic tours during our stay in Vietnam. Thanks to well organized tours that Tam provided we were able to visit Hoi An Old Quarter Lanterns,Hue The Citadel, Cot Co ( Citadel Flag tower ),Forbidden Purple City ( Tu Cam Thanh),Thien Mu Pagoda,Tomb of Khai Dinh Emperor , Sun World Ha Long and The Golden Bridge ! We learnt so much about history, art, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide - he was great, kind, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Time and money well invested, we highly recommend Tam as your guide !

Perfect day, perfect guide - It was perfect that i had exactly this private tour to ba na hills and golden bridge.
Tam is a perfect guide. He had everything tourst could need. He brought these Vietnamese hats which made the tour more atmospheric, water, tickets everything is included. He even had cookies in his pockets when i was describing that cookies is my favorite food :)
Also he gives enough information about the history of Vietnam and he is super intelligent! Thank you for the day, Tam! Everything was in an easy way like with an old friend and i saw even more sightseeing places than i planned and have a lot of cool photos!
Tour is definitely recommended!!

Best private tour in Ba Na Hills! - It was our second time touring around Da Nang with Tam and it was yet another wonderful experience! Tam made the whole journey so fuss free for us by arranging transport and admission tickets to get to Ba Na Hills. He is also such a good photographer as usual and took lots of nice photos for us! Thank you Tam for the great time spent ☺️
