5.00I booked a last minute tour to My Son with my two teenage sons. Our guide Tai, along with the driver, arrived promptly at our hotel and, as expected, the trip took around 4 hours. Tai was a very knowledgeable guide giving clear and detailed explanations as well as time for us to explore the site independently. Booking a private tour gave us the flexibility to explore at our own pace and I would highly recommend this package.
Perfect early morning visit

5.00What a beautiful location! Taking a half day private drive from Hoi An out to the stunning My Son Sanctuary was the perfect way to explore and enjoy this ancient temple complex. Mr Tai provided perfect service and was completely across all of the history and highlights on this adventure. The tour was the right balance of time to wander and explore and capture those stunning photographs, as well as to learn some of the earliest origins of the people who settled this area. The drive was about an hour each way in a comfortable and clean private vehicle which was relaxing and allowed for just sitting back and enjoying the lush scenery. Definitely worth escaping the hustle and bustle of Hoi An for an afternoon or morning out seeing the real Vietnam. Thanks Mr Tai - your knowledge and experience were invaluable and the service perfect!
Great time with Nic

5.00We had an amazing time with Tai. Arriving early not only allows you to discover the place with few tourists, but also to take the time to fully appreciate its explanations. Without it, we wouldn’t have understood the full importance and peculiarities of these sites. A big thank you to Tai for sharing with us all the riches!
Great Tour of My Sun , Tai is an excellent guide

5.00We just completed our half day private tour with Tai. The day started with Tai and a driver picking us up in a very nice car. Tai spent part of the drive to My Son telling us about the history, which was a very nice background. He then guided us through the sanctuary and we learned a lot of valuable information from him! We started earlier than other tours so the heat wasn’t as bad and the sanctuary wasn’t busy at all. I highly recommend booking this tour!
Great tour!

5.00My family and I had a wonderful half day tour with Tai. We got picked up in the morning by Tai and a driver, and brought back after the tour. An easy drive from our hotel, just outside of Da Nang. We felt like we met an old friend that is how friendly and open Tai was answering our questions on the way to the destination. Both my husband and I were very interested to learn about Vietnamese culture and every day life. The tour itself was very interesting as well and despite the heat Tai had us all engaged in learning about ancient culture of Cham people. Highly recommend the tour. Plus we got local spots recommendations :) thank you!
Great tour
