Afternoon My Son Tour - The pickup for the tour went smoothly as did the ride to My Son. Our tour guide, Lum(sic?), was from My Son, so he knew a lot about the site. He gave us insights as we visited the first and most populated area. We were allowed 30 minutes to check out the remaining areas which was plenty and we had to make it back in time for the dance show anyway. The 15 minute show was interesting and not too long. On the way back we stopped to take the boat ride back which was fabulous because we went through the town where the van was waiting to bring us back to our hotels. The only poor part of the tour was the banh mi sandwich that we had on the boat ride. It wasn’t very good as there was little filling but it did quell the hunger.

Great guide - Clear communication prior to the trip and the itinerary was well organized. Mr Lee was fantastic. Very informative, funny, and helpful. Highly recommend. I’m giving a five star review for Mr Lee. Only negative feedback is that we were scheduled to be picked up at 12:30. At 12:28 I received a message the van was “still” waiting. I was standing there with the driver at exactly 12:30 just waiting for my son to quickly use the bathroom in the hotel lobby and at 12:33 I received another message they would leave without us. Given that they had asked us to reschedule from our original date and we paid a surcharge during tet, it was a little aggressive to complain about waiting for a family with children for 3 minutes past the pickup time.

Fab morning tour - We really enjoyed our trip to my sons with Mr Ben who was very knowledgeable and looked after us, our group was nice as well. This was a good way to see a bit more of hoi an and we felt this trip completed our angkor temple trip and learn about the history of these ancient temples and how they have similarities

Our tour guide Ben was... - Our tour guide Ben was very knowledgeable and spoke a lot about the Champa people. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the history of the region and the sanctuary.

Super beautiful Hindu temple - Very nice temple and good guide. Beautiful surroundings. Warm without the presence of the sea but you will be taken by an open van to the temples. Your ticket also includes the show and museum.

Short but Detailed Morning Tour - Great tour with Vu! He provided a detailed description of the site and its key areas. We had just about the right amount of time at the My Son Sanctuary, as it is very hot. We went for a simple lunch and a quick ride on a boat in Hoi An. A nice morning, and we were back at our hotels in Da Nang about 2:30 PM.

Pleasant and would go again, but a few difficulties - Overall a good experience. The ruins were magnificent. The tour itself rushed and we had difficulty communicating with the operator. It took a lot of effort to establish the plans. However, the guide was nice but perhaps inexperienced. It was a fast shuffle between stages of the tour. The boat ride seemed unnecessary and we could have been happier with more time at the archaeological site. My mistake for booking with boat.

Disappointed - This tour guide was good and informative. The sanctuary was worth seeing. However, we paid to see the show which was skipped for some reason. This was a disappointment. The food was good and the boat ride was decent. We were really counting on seeing the show though.
