Our guide Amy was friendly, knowledgeable, interesting, and funny. We did the 7:30am tour and the site was not crowded. It was hot though. We were 12 in the van. The site is quite small but the temples are beautiful, with nice vegetation around, at the base of the sacred mountain. We had enough time to explore and take photos, we saw the 17 min show (quite good, with an amazing trumpet player, and apsarat dances), had a good local lunch (noodles, tea and watermelon). We then drove back towards Hoi An, stopping at a small rice paper house. we could make our own. That was fun. we stayed about 15 min, that was enough. We then drove to the river and did a 15 min boat ride back to Hoi An. Everything was good and worth it. Maybe the lunch could be a bit more (bigger bowls) and the boat ride could take the smaller river to arrive in Hoi An.
Great experience!

We packed so much into this incredible morning tour and still made it back to the city before noon. Our guide, Van, was exceptionally professional and elevated the whole experience by offering fascinating history about Vietnam that went beyond just My Son!
Highly recommended!

We had an amazing tour of the My Son Sanctuary with Van! It exceeded our expectations. We aren't early risers usually but we were so glad that we took the early morning tour : the temperature was great and not too hot during the whole tour. The rice paper making and boat tour were great additions. But really, our big highlight was our guide! He was so knowledgeable about the place, answered all our questions and we found him so kind and friendly. On top of a great and interesting visit, he also taught us a lot about history, which we really appreciated. Thank you for the great tour!

The trip in the car was long, uncomfortable and nerve-wracking. The driver seemed to be in a hurry. My Son itself was great, although there was a lot of walking in the heat. Our guide Amy was a fount of knowledge and gave us a lot of interesting information. We felt that she took off a bit quickly whenever we had to walk somewhere and didn't do much checking to see if people were keeping up. All in all a worthwhile experience. Maybe don't wait till you're over 80 before you do it.
Good early visit

Tony was an excellent tour guide! As many other reviewers have pointed out, going for the earliest tour is without doubt the best option to beat the heat and the crowds. Transport was smooth, breakfast was good, and the boat ride back to Hoi An was peaceful. The ruins themselves are impressive, and it was fascinating learning about the Cham people and their history. The short traditional dance was a huge bonus at the end of the tour!
