Good value tour of My Son incl. lunch & boat trip

5.00Enjoyed the half day tour of My Son Sanctuary with Tony, despite the rain. Good value compared to other tours and learned a lot of history. Included lunch (My Quang with chicken), rice paper making workshop at a local farm, and a boat ride back to Hoi An ancient town. If you book it through them directly, price is only 450k VND per person ($17 USD). Thanks Tony and My Son Tour!
This tour was so great,...

5.00This tour was so great, especially because of our wonderful guide, Tony, and driver, Tin. The tour is very well organized with a good mix of exploring on your own and Tony adding valuable information about the sanctuary and making himself available for questions throughout. Could you have a good experience at the sanctuary by yourself? Sure. But Tony added so much detail on the history which made this experience so much better and memorable. -We were picked up from our hotel on time and Tony called us ahead of time to make sure we were ready. He even recommended bringing a rain coat or umbrella since it was expected to rain. We were grateful for this heads up since it ended up raining - Vietnam weather, amirite? -Lunch was very tasty at the sanctuary location, a traditional dish called My Quang. -Experiencing how to make rice paper and rice noodles at a local business (someone’s house) is a memory we will cherish. The owner was so friendly, helpful, and encouraging! This was something unique that you won’t get by just booking a solo experience. -We opted for the covered boat ride back to Hoi An which was lovely. On the way to the boat, Tony told the guests more about Hoi An traditional food and gave some recommendations of where to eat in the town. The boat ride was a short 20-30 minute cruise on the river. You also have the option to take the van back into town. Tony even drove the boat a bit - he can really do it all! The other guides on the boat had refreshments for sale and offered to take pictures of people on the boat with the lovely view of the city in the background. I mean, who doesn’t love a good boat pic? -Once we got dropped off near the town center, we had the option to walk back to our hotel or have the shuttle drop us off. We opted for the shuttle since we wanted to rest our legs. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the My Son Sanctuary!
Town With Character

5.00Hoi An is a lovely little town full of character, history, and shops (esp if you want shoes/dresses/suits tailored for you). It rained every day we were there but nothing stops the market from operating! Less scooter traffic which was a relief after the heavy traffic in Hanoi. The old part of town where we were to stay was closed due to flooding but the hotel was able to book us at another hotel of equal value outside the flooded area. Hoi An was one of the highlights of our trip! Don’t miss even if it’s raining !
good little half day...

5.00We had Tony as our guide and he arrived right on time for the pick up. The van was very clean and comfortable and Tony provided information along the way, as well as a bottle of water each. First stop was My Son temple complex, which is well worth looking around. Everything was very well organised with lunch included. Note though, the entrance ticket is not included so bring 150,000 dongs with you. After that we went to a hands on rice noodle making place, followed by a short boat trip back to Hanoi. The tour company is very quick to respond to any questions and was great to do business with.

4.00Our guide for this one was Bihn through get your guide. The river was in flood, so we couldn't do the boat ride. But the tour around the temple was very good. Lots of facts, and history from our guide.
