The program is suitable for guests who want to make use of the afternoon and evening to visit two highlights without getting too tired. Marble Mountain is best visited in the afternoon when it is cooler, then move to Hoi An just as the ancient town begins to light up. This is the perfect time for guests to take photos, walk, have dinner and experience the atmosphere of Hoi An at night.
The tour can operate from Da Nang or Hoi An. For guests in Da Nang, this is a very suitable half-day/evening product after a morning at the beach, playing golf or a light city tour. For guests in Hoi An, it can be sold as a local extension tour to Marble Mountain then return to the ancient town in the evening.
