Ba Na Hills Private Tour

What a great tour! It was so beautiful and everyone went smoothly, thank you to Bao :). If you decide to book this tour, request her. Super nice and a happy and pleasant person to be around. She never bothered us and always took care of us. She was open to whatever we wanted to change about the tour and didn’t push anything at all. She was very knowledgeable of the area and she knew everyone in Ba Na Hills, which helped! We had an amazing time and we would definitely come back an do it all over again.

This was my first time visiting Vietnam, and as a solo traveler, I booked a private tour to Ba Na Hills for $185 USD. The experience overall was smooth and enjoyable, but a few areas could be improved. My guide, Mr. Quy, was excellent — calm, professional, and fluent in English. He made everything easy to understand and went out of his way to keep the day on track. When our scheduled private vehicle failed to show up, he quickly arranged a Grab ride so we wouldn’t fall behind. We visited all the major highlights: the beautiful Flower Garden, the stunning Golden Bridge, the charming French Village, and the expansive Fantasy Park. A buffet lunch was included, with great views high up in the hills. Another highlight of the tour was that Mr. Quy brought me to a few hidden spots with amazing views that most tourists seemed to miss. These quieter areas were perfect for enjoying the scenery without the crowds, and it really made the tour feel more personalized and thoughtful. The main issue was the unpredictable weather — we got caught in two heavy rain showers, and I was soaked. I was lucky to have packed extra clothes, but I was surprised the tour didn’t provide any basic rain protection like a poncho. In East Asia, that’s usually standard on guided tours. This would’ve made a big difference, especially for solo travelers. There were also two uncomfortable moments with other tourists — one woman physically blocked me from the ticket line, and another Eastern European woman loudly pushed us aside to take photos. Thankfully, Mr. Quy stayed calm and respectful the entire time. While I declined his offer to take photos of me, I appreciated the gesture — it shows how thoughtful he was throughout. Overall, I really enjoyed the day and highly recommend Mr. Quy as a guide. However, I think the tour company should improve their preparation and customer service — especially at this price point. Things like punctual transport and rain gear should be standard for a premium private tour.

Our trip to Ba Na Hills and back to Hoi A was quick, easy and comfortable. Communication with the company was good and Mr. Long (our driver) waited patiently for us and was back at the collection point within 5 minutes of us calling him.
