Han River by Night on My Xuan Cruise in Da Nang
One hour before the event, a phone call will inform the boarding time, the service is very intimate! On Saturdays and Sundays, Dragon Bridge will spray water and fire. The boatman will lift the card number to watch the position, and good photos can be taken. In January 2021, the temperature in Da Nang will be around 18 degrees, which will not affect the river cruise activities.

Private City Transfers between Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue City or Ba Na Hills
When I arrived in Da Nang, I should have exchanged money, but when I contacted the driver, he waited for the time and drove me nicely. I was going to Hoi An right from the airport, so I was crazy because I changed money and the weather was hot, but it was comfortable without having to book and bargain in advance, and I was fortunate to have the driver wait.

Ba Na Hills Ticket in Da Nang
The bus was huge with the word KLOOK written on it, just so we won't miss it. The driver was friendly and we left the meeting place on time (8:30 AM). There weren't any other passengers so we got the entire bus all by ourselves. It was a smooth ride, with aircondition and pleasing music. Overall, it was great compared to the one we took from Ba Na Hills going back to Da Nang area. Just a tip: if somebody from Klook calls you for a change of schedule, do not agree. You already paid for the service for convenience so they must ensure that they deliver the service as part of the deal.

Private Da Nang International Airport Transfers (DAD) for Da Nang, Hue, Hoi An, & Select Areas
The driver picked up on time because he could track the passengers' flight, when going out the door, he saw the driver with the name plate waiting, very easy to find. New car, clean, running smoothly. The driver will walk in to pick you up and then walk out to drive in, so while waiting for my tip, if you see the car with the VTS logo, wave to the driver to help save your search. I went from Da Nang airport to Hoi An so the car and driver from Hoi An came to pick me up. On the way, the driver also introduced some fun places in Hoi An and Da Nang, Central people were super enthusiastic, lovely already. Summary: Good service - Punctuality - Friendly Will also use the service when going to many other places.
