5.00Great experience. Tour guide Tai was very knowledgable about My Son and helped make it interesting and brought it to life. Early start was worth it as quieter and cooler. Thank you Taii.
We had a wonderful tour!...

5.00We had a wonderful tour! I am very glad that we started at 6 AM in the morning because we were able to visit the site without too much of a crowd and before the heat of the day. Tai was a fantastic guide and tailored the experience to us. We had great communication on WhatsApp prior to departure. The best part about starting so early is that we were done by 10:30 in the morning and back to our hotel in Hoi An.
Beautiful temple but visiting solo is better

3.00The temple is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Don’t miss the traditional dance show that happens twice in the morning! The site is quite small, so it can get crowded quickly. Even if you go early before 10am, it's already very hot, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt and an umbrella for shade. There are QR codes throughout the temple, which make it easy to explore on your own and learn about the rituals and significance of each area. The guides tend to rush through their explanations, and honestly, the private tour didn’t add much value. So if you're thinking of going solo go ahead. People are super nice and helpful in the site.
A Highlight of Trip

5.00We highly recommend going on the private tour if able as we got there by 8am and had the ribs nearly to ourselves. We even got to see one of the two large monkeys (which they said it very rare occurrence)! On our way out of the ribs at 10, the line to get in was like a Disney ride. Our guide Emma taught us so much & was a delight as well!
Very good trip
