Super tour and guide - An excellent experience from start to finish. Our guide was informative, knowledgeable and good company. They even went out of their way to allow us to get breakfast and coffee on the way there, and to give us a view of the Marble Mountains on the way back. Couldn’t improve on our experience at all - I would definitely recommend

My Son Private Tour - We took a private tour guided by Andy with pick up at our hotel in Da Nang to My Son. It was a great experience. Andy is very knowledgeable about the My Son site as well as Vietnamese and Champa history. A quick day trip from Da Nang or Hoi An, I highly recommend it.

Always go with Andy's tours! - I can highly recommend Andy's tours from personal experience on tours of Vietnam with Andy. Andy is on time, reliable, courteous, polite, knowledgeable, and has an abundance of information imparted in very good English to his tour participants. Andy is helpful with any question one may ask. Andy goes the extra mile. Go Andy! Go with Andy!

Wonderful private tour of My Son - 5 stars! - Our family had a wonderful tour of My Son with Andy. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the temples, but he also spent the ride to My Son from Hoi An explaining all kinds of interesting tidbits about Vietnamese culture and history. We had our 21 month old with us, and he was very patient. Even explaining things twice so that one of us could stay with our son and take turns going up areas where it would be hard to navigate with the stroller. We basically had the area to ourselves as tourism hasn’t quite bounced back yet from the Covid season.

Wonderful My Son Private Tour - Our private sunrise tour to My Son in February was terrific! Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience very memorable. Perfect pace of the tour, interesting discussion of history of My Son and Vietnam overall, and lots of nice photo opportunities. Great driver and easy booking process as well.

ANDY AND HIS TEAM ARE EXCELLENT! - My family and I did the My Son half day tour with Andy and throughly enjoyed our visit. As we had only booked the day before and it was a private tour, Andy personally guided us and was very knowledgable about the history of My Son. The tour was relaxed and nothing was too much trouble for him . Andy and his driver were punctual , professional and I can highly recommend them. We were so impressed with the service we also booked our airport transfer the following day with Andy. Thanks Andy for accomodating us during our stay in Hoi An. We will see you when we return again soon!

My Son “best the crowds” tour - Mr. T and Mr. C picked us up bright and early for our My Son tour. As promised, we arrived after the sunrise tourists but before the day crowds. We were practically the only people there and we really enjoyed our visit. Andy was great, answering all our questions and following up to make sure we enjoyed our trip. Thanks to the whole team for a great experience!

Well worth it! - TLDR: Great company, wonderful, engaging guide that gave us a remarkable tour of the My Son holy site.
Despite me contacting the company pretty last minute (day before the tour), Andy was polite, accomodating and assured us he would plan a good trip for us.
Our guide Key picked us up from the hotel early morning and on the way, gave us a great insight into Vietnam's history and culture.
On the tour, we could tell how knowledgeable Key was. And his attention to detail was very much appreciated. I learnt so much about the site, what it meant to the Champa rulers and the current debate surrounding the site amongst historians and archeologists.
All in all, wonderful day spent, so thank you both!
