Our Guides
On arrival
Meeting Point:
We will meet at the statue of Princess Huyen Tran, located directly opposite Huyen Tran Cong Chua Street, near the Marble Mountains area in Da Nang. The statue is located in an open square that’s easily accessible. Alternatively, you can stand in front of the museum's sign. Please refrain from entering the museum, as we must follow the tour program. How to get there:
If you come by taxi or Grab, please search for “Huyen Tran Princess Statue” or “Non Nuoc Sculpture Village.”
It’s only a 5-minute drive from Marble Mountains' main gate, or 20 minutes from Da Nang city center.
You can also walk from the Marble Mountains entrance by heading south along Huyen Tran Cong Chua Street for about 5–7 minutes.
Your guide will be waiting at the statue, holding a small sign that reads, “Mr. Lucky – Free Tour.”
Things to note
Please do not enter the museum on your own before meeting me. The museum may charge you an extra entrance fee if you go inside without my assistance. Kindly wait for a moment — there are plenty of shaded areas nearby where you can relax.
This is a free tour with an optional tip for the guide.
