My Son Sanctuary Sunset met insidergids en BBQ-boottocht

Tran was really good and very nice. We enjoyed it so much

Last month we are came back from Ethiopia and if course I’d like to share my experiences with you! We – a group of four persons – have been traveling the Omo Valley for 9 days to visit the different tribes and cultures. In advance we searched online for a guide and found Addis Omo . Addisomo55@gmail.com) – this was the best decision and recommendation as we discovered during our trip On the day after our arrival at Addis Ababa we have been picked up as promised directly from our hotel in two off-road cars. For the following days we drove through almost the complete Omo Valley – to close to the borders to Kenia and South Sudan. We got the opportunity to visit the different tribes and their villages and highlight followed the next one: Dorze: An unforgettable evening with home-made schnapps in a mountain village Hamer: The traditional bull jumping shouldn’t be missed – and our guide Addis did everything and contacted everybody he knew to find out, where we could attend such a ceremony! We saw many tribes by the Omo river like Hamer, Karo, Mursi, Dasanech, our guide took us to unique bull jumping ceremony and Chamo river with huge hippos and crocodiles. Highlight for me was an overnight camping in the Hamer village with the locals. We had a great time and experienced things we will never forget. Doesn’t matter if you are family with children or young people that also want to have some fun, Addis can manage program that will perfectly suits your needs. I really recommend his perfect service that will make your stay in Ethiopia unforgettable. I can say we found not only an awesome guide, but also a great friend as well.

This was an excellent tour of these ruins. Our tour leader Lint spoke excellent English, was really knowledgeable and had a lovely sense of humour. The ruins are really worth a visit if you enjoy ancient history. It was also great to be out of the city and in the countryside. And although we didn't book the trip for the dancing and boat trip we thoroughly enjoyed these too and our dietary needs were well catered for.

We really enjoyed our trip to My Son. We were picked up at our hotel on time and had an enjoyable journey to the site. Bonus was watching the farmers drying their rice on the streets and tending to their fields, very interesting. Our guide Thao was friendly and very informative. He should us around the temples, explaining their history and pointing out interesting details and showing up good photo opportunities. The site is beautiful and included a 15 minute show about the people that lived there. After the site visit we took a book trip down the Thu Bồn River. On the boat we had a lovely bbq, cooked by our guide and some very nice rice wine. After the boat trip the bus dropped us off at the old town in Hoi An (although we did have the option for a hotel drop off). We had a very enjoyable day out and would recommend :)

Chao guide was passionate about My Son Sanctuary. He ensured that we understood the history and relevance of the site. Even more surprising was that there was only the two of us on the tour! The boat trip back to Hoi A was great …. Food plentiful and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !:)

Great trip, starts early afternoon so a chance for a lazy start. A welcome cool drink and coffee. Interesting trip around My Son, really hot but lots of shade followed by a lovely boat trip back with BBQ.

Fabulous experience. A wet night but the boat had a roof. The boat driver went above and beyond. He offered us a beer but we don’t drink so he got off the boat and exchanged for soft drinks. He manoeuvred the boat so that we could get the best photos and we each had 2 lanterns to put in the river. He had lots of ideas for photos and was an excellent boat driver. Fantastic

Really enjoyed this trip with Thao our guide who gave us lots of information on the temples but also on daily life in Vietnam.

Trip was excellent. The driver with the tour guide picked us up punctually from Hoi An and we drove to My Son. We were all really satisfied. We like the way our guide was explaining the history and we appreciated his English and knowledge. Thank you very much!

This is a great tour. Our guide Thau spoke English very well, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and archaeology of Vietnam more broadly, as well as My Son and the temple complex. We enjoyed plenty of time to look around at our own pace, ask Thau questions and then ended the afternoon with a relaxed cruise down the river to Hoi An old town with plenty of tasty BBQ skewers to eat along the way. Great afternoon, lovely way to see the landscapes outside of Hoi An and enjoy the river with some locally prepared food. Would definitely recommend this tour for individuals, couples or families alike.
