Overview

A Modern and Attractive City on the Coast

Enjoy the coast and the comfort that Da Nang has to offer!

Located halfway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang has held a strategic role in Vietnam’s contemporary history. The French first made it a concession twice — once in 1787 before the French Revolution, and again in 1858 under Napoleon III. The French called it Tourane, derived from the Chinese Cua Han, meaning “mouth of the Han River.” Later, during the war with the Americans, Da Nang became an important air base for the South Vietnamese and American forces. Since Vietnam’s economic opening, the city has grown rapidly and is now the fourth largest city in the country.

Today, Da Nang is best known for the beauty of its beaches and surroundings, rather than its cityscape, which is quickly modernizing. With our private tours, we will take you to several must-see places: the Hai Van Pass, offering breathtaking views of Da Nang Bay; Ba Na Hills, at 1,487 meters altitude with its fun attractions; the Marble Mountains, or the Son Tra Peninsula.

If relaxation and leisure are what you are looking for, we highly recommend stopping in Da Nang to enjoy its beaches such as Thanh Binh, Bac My An, and Non Nuoc — all of which boast highly rated hotel services.

For those more interested in history and culture, we will guide you to the Cham Museum, established in 1919 by the French School of the Far East (EFEO). It still houses the world’s largest collection of Cham art and sculpture, with more than 400 original works created between the 5th and 15th centuries during the Champa Kingdom.

Helina – cruise tour

“Mathieu was truly wonderful. A big thank you for all the flawless arrangements! We had an amazing cruise with so many beautiful memories 🥰 – the crew was incredibly friendly, and all the activities were very well organized.”

Christelle – Vietnam tour

“An effective agency and more … We discovered Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Min through Hue and Hoi An thanks to the excellent services. To choose the tour I had excellent exchanges with the agency throughout the preparation of the trip so that it fits what we wanted. We had three different guides. All friendly and speaking English very well. The drivers were professional (and you have to be to get around Vietnam),very attentive and punctual.”

Gregorio – cruise tour

“Such a great experience! They organised a transfer from our homestay in Tam Coc, Ninh Binh, directly to Cat Ba. We did the Lan Ha Bay cruise, spending 2 days and 1 night around. This bay is beautiful and quiet, indeed we didn’t meet too many boats so we appreciated the panorama 100%. Our boat was beautiful and we shared the cruise with another couple, so it is the best choice if you are looking for a peaceful experience”

Rama – Parfum d’Automne cruise tour

“EXTRAORDINARY Agency I called on them for a cruise on September 23rd in the evening to ask for a place for a cruise on the 24th (my birthday) not only did they take care of my return from sapa to Hanoi that same evening, on the 24th on the boat all the crew knew about my birthday, they wished me, also made me a surprise cake in the evening. The stay on the boat was so amazing that I added an extra night , without being a ray of sun, he smiles all the time and pampers us throughout the cruise.”

Arthur – Four Season Cruise Tour

“The agency took great care of us, answering all our questions and showing real flexibility. We went on a cruise in Lan Ha Bay aboard the Quatre Saisons junk. The boat was comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, and the scenery absolutely stunning. We didn’t come across many other boats along our route, which made the experience even more special. The activities were well organized and done in small groups, which we really appreciated.”

Gael – Northern Vietnam tour

“Exceptional service and magnificent organized tours ! We’re Swiss and took advantage of Parfum d’Automne’s offers to visit Cat Ba, Lan Ha Bay, next to Halong Bay, and the Pu Luong region in the northwest mountains of Vietnam. It was fantastic! We met a lot of great locals, not least thanks to the guides and tours organized by the agency.”
