After 3 tiring hours of driving, we arrived at his home. We spent 2 great days here doing lots of exciting things, like riding horseback and rowing down a beautiful river.
[When we want to say that a period of time was exhausting, we can also say it was “long”. Ex. “I waited for 2 long hours.” You could also describe the time period with verbs ending in “-ing”. Ex. “four exciting days” or “one exhausting month”.]

I won’t ever forget the great time we had. I was taken to so many beautiful places around my brother’s house.
[“Won’t never” is what we call in English a “double negative”. “Won’t” or “will not” has a negative. And “never” is the negative form of “ever”. The two negatives cancel each other out and make a positive, like in math. “I won’t never forget” means you will forget. So you can either say, “ I will never” or “I won’t ever”.]

[What do you want to say when you write, “by the testing tour”?]

He and I planned to go on a backpacking trip for foreigners by ourselves.
[If you use the verb tense “are planning” it means you are planning the trip right now in the present. By using the verb tense “planned”, we show it happened in the past. A common expression in English is “to go on a trip”. Also, the plural form of “self” is “selves”.]

The first day, which we spent in Da Nang, we traveled from Central Da Nang to Hai Van Pass.
[The clause “we spent in Da Nang” describes your “first day”. To show that this clause (or short phrase) describes this noun, we add the word “which”. When you use a clause to describe a person, you add the word “who”. You did that in the next sentence. Good job!]
