The experience

The day starts with a pickup from your Nha Trang hotel and a drive into the central highlands to Dalat's old railway station, where you'll see the colonial-era platform and tracks. From there, the tour moves through the town's main attractions: a stop at Ho Xuan Huong lake in the heart of Dalat for photos, then Datanla waterfall, where you can ride an alpine coaster down to the base and back up. The Crazy House, a building with unconventional architecture, comes next, followed by Dalat's biggest local market and the old French-style Cathedral Church.

Lunch is included and features local dishes: rice with chicken and pork barbecue, egg omelette and cold water or beverages. All entry fees to the attractions are covered. The guide speaks English throughout the day and can adjust the stops or timing if you want to spend more time at a particular site or visit somewhere else instead. The return drive to your Nha Trang hotel takes the evening, wrapping up around the time you'd expect after a full day out.

Is this one for you?The full day and early start mean you'll cover all six main Dalat sites in one outing from Nha Trang, but the pace is set by the itinerary rather than by your own speed at each stop. If you prefer to linger at one or two places, request a custom itinerary before booking so the guide can adjust the route to match your interests.
