The program is suitable for guests who want to make the most 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 starts to light up. This is a great time for guests to take photos, walk, have dinner, and experience Hoi An's night atmosphere.
The tour can operate from Da Nang or Hoi An. For guests in Da Nang, this is a half-day/evening product that fits well after a morning at the beach, golf, or a light city tour. For guests in Hoi An, it can be sold as a local extension tour to Marble Mountain and then back to the ancient town in the evening.
