Start your day with a journey through ancient history and authentic Vietnamese culinary culture!
At 7:30 AM, our English-speaking guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel lobby. From there, we head toward the My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a treasure trove of ancient Cham architecture.
Accompanied by your guide, you’ll walk through the sacred ruins dating back to the 13th century, once the spiritual and political capital of the Champa Kingdom. Your guide will explain the symbolism and history of the intricate brick towers, temples, and monuments - each with its own fascinating story and spiritual significance.
While there, enjoy a traditional Cham dance performance - a captivating display of local costumes, music, and cultural expression passed down through generations. Around 11:00 AM, we depart from My Son and head to a local family home for a delicious lunch and a hands-on cultural activity.

Of course, you'll get to taste your handmade phở afterward!

Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful experience with Misa as a very kind and very experienced guide.
My Son is a beautiful place to visit. My 8yrs old kids really enjoyed the rice noodles preparation (even if we all failed to have a perfect shape 😂😂).
I strongly recommend this tour, especially with Misa!

Do alot in half a day
The 6 hour morning tour 7:30am to 1:30pm was a compact tour (with good English language) pickup (door to door), informative historical information, walk through 13th century My Son sacred ruins, traditional stage theatre, cooking 'Pho' rice paper class , lunch (vegetarian for me), and slow boat trip up the river. For AUD $32.

Great day out
Our guide Misa was excellent. Tour at My Son was very interesting. Lunch at a small family house amazing. Boat trip back was a cool relief from the heat and a nice calm way to end the tour.

We enjoyed the tour very...
We enjoyed the tour very much. It is value for money. Our guide, Casper was helpful and clear in his deliverance. Our group has a big family, so it is not easy for him to cater everyone needs. He is attentive.
The lunch was good. Simple home cooking style foods. I was happy that they didn't serve us pho and banhmi.
The duration of the tour is just nice. But not if you are a history buff and like to stay at the historical site long.
