An amazing tour. - We booked this tour thinking we would be part of a bigger group (up to 15 people) however we were the only two people. Our tour guide Emily was amazing! Very knowledgeable and gave us some handy insight into the Vietnamese culture. Couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Best tour guide ever - It was an amazing tour with one of the best tour guides we met so far in Vietnam. Thu/Emilly was our tour guide and she explained us every bit of My Son sanctuary in detail and she took amazing photos which will bring back memories in years to come.

My Son - It was like a private guide tour because the guests were just two of us. It was slow pace. The guide Helen was very kind and thoughtful for us.

Wonderful Day Trip - We really enjoyed our day trip to the My Son Sanctuary! Our guide was very knowledgeable. We decided to take the afternoon tour and it was very hot. It was nice, though, because we were the only ones there.

Good way of discovering My Son - Overall great experience. The crowds of tourists in My Son holy land can be overwhelming but the site is definitely worth it. The time for the visit itself was rather short and it probably something one could do on their own. However, our guide Thung was very knowledgeable and made the experience better.

Nice place, wrong tour guide. - We loved the old temples, very interesting. Unfortunately our guide was not able to communicate with us as we expected, he was rushing to show us everything, telling us how tired/busy he was instead of focusing more on history. We spent only 1 hour into nature and it comes with 2 different shows, commercial and tourist attraction (delusional) I would recommend the place but not this guide.
