So glad I booked a tour. I am on a solo trip and the join in group was the right call. Picked up and dropped off in my hotel. Joy, our guide was a delight and very personal. There's just a lot of walk and it can be very humid and hot. I liked the noodles that was served to us after our tour. Bring water, fan, umbrella and extra clothing just in case. Also, some cash. Entrance fee of 150000 Vnd is not included in this tour.
With the scorching summer heat, choosing to depart in the early morning was a wise decision, and the entire arrangement process was very smooth. The sun had just risen, and they picked us up promptly at 5:40 AM. Everyone received a bottle of water upon boarding. We arrived at the park before 7:00 AM, purchased our own admission tickets for $150,000, then walked for about 20 minutes before taking a shuttle bus to the vicinity of the ruins, arriving by 7:30 AM. The guide explained the history and culture of Shiva in fluent English, and then we had free time for photos 📸. The weather was sunny and hot 🥵; by 8:00 AM, the felt temperature was already 33-34 degrees Celsius, and it would definitely be even hotter at noon. After taking pictures, they drove us to a cafe for Vietnamese banh mi and a drink of our choice. We were dropped back at the hotel by 10:30 AM 🏨.
Our trip to My Son Sanctuary was a great experience, learning a lot about the Champa kingdom and the ancient Hindu temples from Joy, our amazing guide who not only speaks English exceptionally well but also taught our family so much about the rich history of the site. Lunch at the end of the tour was also great and plentiful. Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed the tour! I took the 5:30am tour and it avoided the crowds and the heat. The tour guide Bruce Lee is a knowledgeable young man, who speaks good English and explains the history very well. That makes the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!!
We had a truly good experience with the My Son Sanctuary guided tour. The van picked us up on time, actually a little earlier than scheduled. Our guide, Vu, is very experienced and also shared his living experience in Hoi An and suggestions with us. After the tour, we had a tasty Banh Mi for breakfast, which also came with a drink. I highly recommend taking the earliest tour.
Super fun day out. Bruce made sure we have an amazing engaging time at My Son Sanctuary. He ensured he transfered important knowledge in a fun way. We also had some free time to explore before we head to grab food. Overall nice experience!
I really enjoyed the My Son tour, it was a great experience! The site is beautiful and full of history, and the guide made everything more interesting with clear explanations. It was well organized and worth the visit. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area! 🇧🇴
For people interested in the ancient/medieval history of Vietnam's Central Highlands and the Champa kingdom, this is an excellent experience. There's a lot in the details - the architecture, the bricks, the construction, the remains of the murals and sculptures, the bombing of the sites - that you should try to observe. For me, it was accentuated because of our tour guide, Joy (Ngân), who was knowledgeable about what she took us through, patient with our questions, and curious about aspects we shared. A well-organised trip. The rains damped the experience a little bit, but it wasn't too much of a hassle. (Please note that the entry ticket is 150,000Đ, and the ticket counter doesn't accept cards.) Complement this tour with a visit to the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture.
I went on a really early morning tour at around 5.30 am. we reached My Son sanctuary early in the morning. there were very few people around. our guide Mr. Phillip was extremely knowledgeable and he showed us everything in excruciating detail. he also answered all of our questioned patiently, waiting while I clicked a thousand photos. if you're someone who likes learning about history and architecture you should definitely go here. And definitely ask for Mr. Phillip as a guide if you can.
Highly recommended! Love the hotel pickup and dropoff super convenient. Guide Kim very knowledgeable and nice. adequate time to explore and rest. chicken noodle soup with cold tea and bottled water included.
