  My Son is an amazing place to visit. Our tour guide Luan was very knowledgeable about My Son and Vietnamese history. He took great care of us. Would recommend.

• Interesting and worthwhile half day tour.

  My Son is in a very pretty locale, and the ruins are interesting, though not overly abundant. Much of the ruins are reconstructed, though there are several pieces that are ancient and original. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, though I found he was trying too hard to be funny to cater to tourists, which is unnecessary. This trip might have been better with a private car and guide, as the time at the ruins was relatively limited. Additionally, the timing was delayed from the get-go — we were picked up 25 minutes later than expected (the apologetic guide kept us informed about the delay), then the ruins felt a bit rushed, and there was a dance performance that we had to walk back to see in the middle of our exploration of the ruins. Furthermore, it delayed our boat trip, which occurred at night instead of during sunset. The info on Viator is a bit confusing — the afternoon trip is served a banh mi on the boat around dinner time. This was nice, but an unnecessary element of the trip. Also, the listing reads as if the boat leaves from My Son and deposits you back in Hoi An. That’s not the case. You get back on the bus after My Son, travel back to the outskirts or Hoi An where you board the boat, and then take a 15-20 minute journey back to Hoi An where you get out at the night market. If you want to be taken back to your hotel, the guide will walk you through the market back to the bus, which will add about another half hour to the entire trip. Overall, I’m glad I saw My Son and took a boat ride. But, if you’re in a group and/or can afford a private tour (even through this company), that might be best.

  There are some walking around the ruins. So good walking shoe is advisable. Also enjoy a Show performance for 15mins. Treated to Banh-Mi on the Boat trip at the end . It would have been lovely during summer to view sunset.

• Great ruins from a long time ago

  Autumn was an excellent guide! While her English was a bit challenging to understand at times, her deep knowledge of My Son’s history truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure the tour was enjoyable and tailored to the guests’ needs. The history of My Son is absolutely fascinating, and the boat cruise added an extra layer of relaxation and charm to the experience. Venus Travel is a top-notch tour operator—I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Hoi An or Da Nang!
