Best day ever from a 7 year old and his parents

Eyimife_D, Mar 2025

Amazing. Highlight of our trip. Thank you Bong for taking care of us and our son. You not only had an in depth knowledge of the history of MySon and the area but also taking care to slow down when my 7 year old was tired and showing him spiders , and animals, plants too that engaged him so much and kept his interest. The rice paper family was amazing. Taught us slow living at its best and opened our life to rural community living and the hard work everyone puts in . Thank you thank you . We’ll be back .

This tour was great, are guide was...

Melissa B, Jan 2018

This tour was great, are guide was fantastic. Very informative and friendly. It ended up just being the two of us on the tour which was great. Even though the pick up was early in the morning it was worth it as you get to My Son before really any other tourists, once we left there was a sea of tourists flooding in. The stop on the way home to learn how to make Rice paper was also really great. The one thing I would change would be to spend a little more time at the site. But over all it was a really great tour. It's not my first Urban Adventure tour and it won't be my last, they are always really great and unique!
