The hotel pick-up was on time. Not only did we visit the My Son ruins, but we also stopped off to make rice paper on the way there, which was an unexpectedly good experience. Lunch was also more delicious than expected. Taking a boat on the way back was also an unexpectedly fun memory. I thought the price was very reasonable for such a packed tour. I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you to our tour guide Tony for his careful explanation and clear English! This half-day trip was very fulfilling and worthwhile. We were able to learn about the history of the My Son ancient ruins, eat local food, and take a boat trip to Hoi An Night Market to enjoy a wonderful night!

I chose the afternoon session, and it was one of my favourite things I did in Hoi An. First the guide picked me up from my hotel and we drove to the My Son Sanctuary (approx 30min), the guide explained to us the history of the Champa peoplr. Our guide was lovely, and very informative. The My Son Tour itself was great, our ticket included a bus for some of the way, there wasn't heaps of walking definitely accessible. However, it was super hot and humid (June/July), our guide kept us supplied with water the whole time. The history of the sites was explained and we watched a traditional musical/ dance performance which was amazing. On the way back we took a boat ride to Hoi Ans old town. I loved this boat tour, the ride was longer than the other ones I had taken in this city and we got to see a lot more of the river, also they supplied us with a Bahn Mi which was so tasty. Then we could chose to be dropped at our hotel or stay in Old Town. Overall, such a good experience and great value.

The driver arrived on time and the ride was smooth. You can just Whatsapp the driver 5 minutes in advance when leaving. When the sun sets, the pick-up point can be anywhere near the original location without any extra charge.

The tour to My Son Sanctuary was really smooth from start to finish. Pick-up was on time and super easy. Our guide, Bruce Lee, was fantastic—really knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts about the site. I learned a lot, and the trip included a nice lunch and a relaxing boat ride too. Definitely worth it! Tip: Choose the early morning tour if you can wake up early. We went for the morning tour (no early morning tour that day due to insufficient sign ups) and was a tad hot and crowded for my liking.
