    Great afternoon tour

    Catherine_M, Aug 2026
    As we travelled on the bus our tour guide Owen told us alot about the history of My Son. Owen kept us entertained with facts and stories. My Son was a very interesting place to visit. Many dont realise about the Champa kingdom and the Hindu temples in Vietnam. Set in a "jungle" , great to experience. Owen was very knowledgeable, interesting and funny. There was just the right amount of time to explore. Owen arranged a banh mi for all to eat on the boat trip back into Hoi An old town. A great afternoon tour

    My Son

    Geoff_W, Jun 2026
    The weather was slightly overcast which made it a bit easier. Had it been full son it would have been unpleasant. Our guide was lovely though at times hard to hear all she was saying. Having seen Ankawat was glad to see the Vietnam equivalent

    A hot day with lots of extras!!

    My Son Sanctuary and river boats cruise

    lmaybee, Mar 2026
    Everything went as expected from on time pick up at our hotel to arrival at My Son Sanctuary. We chosr the afternoon time slot. Our guide Junie was great. She spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the ruins we visited. She allowed extra time after the tour to explore on our own. Once back at the van to get to our next stop Junie handed out snacks and a drink for everyone to enjoy on our ride back to town. Next we went on the river cruise. It was very short but allowed us to get some great evening shots of all the night markets and river boats lit up. On exiting the boat she enquired if anyone wanted to stay near the night market and those that didn't could get back on the van for drop off at their accommodation. It was a great afternoon and would recommend this trip. Shout out to Junie and our driver for a great day.

    Beautiful architecture

    Sheila_A, Mar 2026
    Beautiful and peaceful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and the religous symbolism. The van was clean, cool air and efficient. Ending the day with the sunset boat ride was magical.

    My Son sanctuary

    It was a nice small group. The guide was very good and knowledgeable. He spoke very good English. My Son sanctuary was very interesting . The boat trip was okay.

    A very good trip,...

    Grzegorz_K, Feb 2026
    A very good trip, consistent with the description. The only complaint was the poor local soup lunch. Furthermore, the wait for the transfer to Danang was a bit too long. Overall, we were satisfied and can recommend this agency.

    My Son Sanctuary Tour

    Really enjoyed the tour with Diem. Clearly enjoys what she does and keen to share a lot of very interesting information. The boat trip in Hoi An was a great way to end the day.

    A trip worth...

    Chi_H, Dec 2023
    A trip worth recommending. The temples are beautiful despite the rainy weather. Guide Trung speaks very good English and talks about everything with interest. He explained a lot during the travel. Additionally, we saw a dance show of the Champa people and rice paper making. We highly recommend it!
