We really enjoyed our trip to My Son Sanctuary! Our tour guide, Mr. Lee, was very helpful and knowledgeable, and our driver, Mr. Lamb, was excellent. We had a wonderful private trip and truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to explore Hoi An and its history!

This tour is exactly what it says. Our journey was about an hours drive through the backroads between Hoi An and My Son. Our guide Hung explained things along the way and once at My Son took us to each site explaining the time of build, restoration and meaning behind the symbols and style of sculpture. Fascinating place and so glad we had the opportunity to learn Champa culture and see a displayful dance and flute performance. Thanks Hung for a wonderful morning - great coffee, shopping as spa recommendations helped too for after our tour!

Our tour to My Son yesterday from start to finish could not have been any better. Our tour guide Van was waiting at our pick up point bang on time, as per the instructions from the tour operator which were down to a tee. Van was so knowledgeable, explaining to much to us on the car journey to the site (just myself and my husband, the driver and Van) in a very comfortable car and good driver. Van walked us through so much information & facts about not only Vietnam and its history but also My Son, and he took the best pictures for us to remember our trip as he knew the very best angles to get pictures from. Having a private tour guide was worth every penny and the whole tour was fantastic. After My Son, we took a local boat at sunset down towards the old town of Hoi An whilst eating THE best banh mi ever, again Van captured these moments on my camera. I cannot recommend this tour enough, I only wish we had more time here to book another tour with Van.

Our guide was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, interesting and across all of the history. It was such an interesting tour, delivered by a guide who was clearly passionate about the subject. The tour itself was very good, and was exactly what we had hoped for. We were picked up on time in a spotlessly clean car, driven by a great driver. Great comms before the trip. Finishing with the boat trip was great. Highly recommend this tour.
Michael our guide was funny, solicitous (I’m 71) and very knowledgeable with a great command of English. Minibus pickup from our hotel to My Son entrance, then electric tuk tuk to the site with Michael explaining all the “need to knows” as he showed us round. Time to explore on our own, followed by a traditional Cham music and dance performance. Back to Hoi A for a boat trip with picnic then disembarked at the night market.
Had a excellent and a very enjoyable day with Thiem the tour guide he absolutely made the very good with his knowledge would definitely recommed to give it a try
