For some of the popular destinations, such as Hue and Hoi An, a guide and driver is highly recommended. You will learn far more about the sites you visit and it's hard to beat the personal attention of your own guide. The Furama provided a guide by the the name of Kwan, who was outstanding! From his intimate knowledge, to his genuinely charming personallity, this young man was a joy to spend a couple days with. He is a fine ambassador for the Furama and represented the level of service offered by all the staff.

The situation (Danang) is perfect if you want to visit Hue and Hoi Han. In Danang there is not so much to do and it is a pity that the Furama does not organise tours like the Ana Mandara Hotel (Nya Trang): motobikes in the countryside (forest), boat tours on local river and to Hoi Han. Bravo, well done for the daily free shuttle bus to Hoi Han and to Danang.

We arranged a private car through the hotel My Son temple. Our driver was very pleasant, and went out of his way to find camera batteries for us along the journey. My Son temple is very interesting and worth the short journey. A cyclo ride through Danang city is fun and interesting.

Danang was just a stop in transit for us (on the way to Hoi An). We did manage to squeeze in the Cham museum, which I would recommend.

Da Nang itself has nothing much to advertise itself. I would imagine most would use it as a base for visits to the DMZ, Hoi An, Hue, Champa ruins. We enjoyed our trip by private car to Hue. It was good to be able to see daily Vietnamese life on the way. The roads are very good, and unless its Tet, the traffic is not so bad. Photo opportunities from the Hai Van pass really worth the effort. Although we didn't have time, I would imagine exploring some of the beaches in this area would be more satisfying than the traditional wandering through town. Hue is ok if you like ruins, but not unlike other French influenced smaller places. The Perfume river trip is nothing spectacular, although peaceful (as long as you don't get a clothing hawker as part of the deal!!). Marble mountain is also not much (especially if you have already visited Ha Long Bay), and desperately commercial when we visited during the Tet holiday. Hoi An on the other hand is simply wonderful. It has so much ambience and although it survives on its retail, doesn't give off that desperate commercialism that foriegn travellers learn to hate or just tolerate throughout Asia. The restaurants here are very good. You have to experience the 'cao lau' at the Hong Phuc (I think) on the Bach Dang. We found once we got to the particular place, the best way round was to walk, rather than hire a bicycle, or motorbike. The reason being bikes can be a nuisance when you want to stop and wander through shops, and motorbikes are impractical unless you know how to use them and you have nerves of steel. Most places are small enough to walk to the best locations without too much strain.

The resort is located a bit away from the city of Danang. To get into the city one needs to take a taxi. Danang seemed a very authentic place to visit in the way that it was just an ordinary Vietnamese industrial city. If one wants to have more of history and old houses and more of other tourists, one place nearby to visit would be Hoi An. Vietnamese people are in general very friendly around these places. The prices for things and food outside the resorts are low, even if you as a foreigner and tourist probably often, even after hustling, pay much more than others do.
