Things to do in My Son Sanctuary

I had really wanted to visit the My Son Sanctuary during my stay in Hoi An, but I was worried it might be difficult to manage as a solo traveler—until I found this tour. I believe the drive took about 50 minutes each way. Once at the My Son Sanctuary, there was quite a bit of walking involved. I’m used to physical activity, so it wasn't a problem for me, but those who aren't confident in their stamina might find it tiring. Also, even on the earliest tour, the sun was strong and I was sweating profusely, so I felt I made the right choice by not picking the 8:00am or afternoon slots. As for the ruins themselves—the main event—they were far more mystical and moving than I had imagined! No matter how hot it gets or how much you sweat, they are absolutely worth seeing. Our guide was Lucky; despite his youth, he was incredibly personable, attentive to all ten participants, and provided clear, engaging explanations throughout the tour.

it’s a bit hot. after we redeemed our ticket at the ticket booth, we entered My Son. There is a lack of instructions guiding us pass through the bridge to take a shuttle car upstairs. comfortable and breezing. Then, we walked different zones. there were many visitors. For those who like watching ancient buildings, it’s worthwhile visiting there. Good

Thank you Micheal for a great time during my half day tour. your stories were captivating and informative in sharing about the Cham people and the significance of the temples at My Son. Wishing you all the best

Communication before departure was easy, and our guide on the day of the tour was fluent in Japanese, providing us with a lot of valuable information! We participated with our 6-year-old son, who enjoyed himself in his own way, while our elementary school-aged daughter listened with great interest to stories about Vietnamese history and carefully explored the ruins. The lunch was also delicious. Thank you very much.

Excellent half day tour at a fantastic price! My tour guide Lee was friendly and funny and had amazing knowledge of My Son (and Hoi An). My Son itself was so interesting; the traditional dance performance was wonderful; the homestyle lunch was delicious; and the boat ride back to Hoi An was relaxing and enjoyable. Driver arrived on time and was a very safe driver. Complementary water was provided. It is VERY hot in Hoi An this time of year (mid July), so be sure to bring hat, sunscreen, etc. Highly recommended tour!

My Son Sanctuary and the Marble Mountains are definitely worth visiting! especially with a great guide like Kim! Ms. Kim was knowledgeable and gave us fascinating insights into the history, geography, and local culture of the places we visited. Her detailed explanations helped us understand so much more about the stories and history behind what we were seeing, and made the whole experience much more meaningful. This was our first time in Da Nang, and the tour left us with wonderful memories. We really enjoyed every moment and hope to come back again to explore more of this beautiful part of Vietnam. Thank you, Kim, for making our trip so memorable!

We had a great experience with this tour. The private transfer was comfortable, everything was well organized, and having the flexibility of a private tour made a huge difference. We were able to explore the entire sanctuary at our own pace, take photos wherever we wanted, and never waste time waiting for a large group. The only minor point was that our guide’s English could have been better. However, this seems to be more of a local challenge than an issue with the tour itself. If we could change one thing, we would start even earlier. When we arrived, the site was still relatively quiet, but within 30–40 minutes it became much more crowded. We’d recommend leaving around 6:30–7:00 AM to enjoy the best experience. My Son Sanctuary is an incredible place and definitely worth visiting. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Xiao Cui, was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. It was extremely hot at My Son Sanctuary that day, and Xiao Cui took great care of us. The driver also provided us with ice water, making our trip very comfortable. We also went on the coconut boat ride as per our request, had a wonderful time, and made unforgettable memories! Highly recommend! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Mr Long! Our ride was smooth and driver was very accommodating. Mr Long was very informative, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire tour. The weather was quite rainy, but he still made sure we were comfortable and helped us navigate around safely. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His effort really made the experience enjoyable despite the rain. Thank you so much for making our tour memorable! Highly recommended! ❤️
