I'm a bit sorry that it rained so I couldn't hunt clouds, beautiful rose and strawberry gardens. The company should arrange an additional 19-seat car to take guests to the cloud hunting area if it rains. Drinks are a bit expensive so mineral water should be given to guests early.

This is a pass that allows you to enjoy famous tourist attractions in Dalat at a discounted price. I chose the cable car, the Lumiere Museum, and the Ju Du Zoo. Of these, I highly recommend the Ju Du Zoo, but I do not recommend the Lumiere Museum.

As it was raining we almost miss out the cloud... but glad that we waited for it. Our guide, Chau was nice and she conducted a duo language trip as we have different group of people. She also helped us to take photos. The strawberry in the farm is too small and little to pick. We ended the tour with a good complimentary coffee.

Have been using this service when in Da Lat. If you have 4 ppl, then it will definitely worth it. Choose 8 hrs so that you can visit more attractions. Unlike those join in group tour, you have the flexibility to plan your own itinerary and stay as long as you want in each attraction. You save time without waiting for others and at the comfort of a car. Do choose the 7 seaters car if you have 3-4 pax. Do note most drivers can understand very very simple English. You can use translator to communicate with them, just like them.
