- Travel511864308690 contributionsMarble mountains afternoon tour family of 5 with 3 older teens - enjoyed by all.Our guide Bee was fantastic - perfect english, very kind and friendly and knowledgable. Driver very safe in the hectic traffic. Marble mountains stunning. Lots of steps so be prepared for that - we were lucky as was dry - would be very slippery if wet. Visit to marble factory was interesting and was an extra I think. Good drive along beach in Da Nang which was a bonus to see too. Lady Buddha was amazing and saw monkeys too. Fantastic trip and good value for our family of 5 with 3 teens. Pretty fast paced but small group tour so worked well. Highly recommend.Written 11 January 2025

There are many tour operators to choose when booking trips but I am so pleased to have chosen this company. I picked the leaflet up in the hotel and they arranged it for me so that was very easy. My tour guide was Michael (Troung) ..so sorry if that's not correct spelling.. I have mislaid my contact details....'and from the moment he picked me up from the hotel I knew it was going to be a fun and interesting tour. He spoke excellent English had a great sense of humour and was very interesting and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to look around and take photos and learn about the history of My son which is a truly beautiful place. He kindly took photos of me as I was a solo traveller, and then emailed to me. We watched the traditional Cham dance and then went to a local family for lunch...I and 2 others in the group are vegetarian and had plenty of food cooked especially for us. We returned to Hoi An on a boat and when back on shore had the option to be driven back to the hotel or make our own way back. Excellent half day tour.

Turtle is a terrific guide. Very enthousiastically, he shares his deep knowledge on My Son, a temple nearby and the "caban village" where craftsmen produce wooden artefacts and boats.
The tour included private shuttle transportation, lunch at a local family, a boat cruise along the river, My Son, a temple nearby and the "caban" village.
Turtle is very upbeat and flexible in managing the group while stayong on schedule.
Good value/price ratio

Misa took us to My Son Sanctuary and we had a great time! We booked the morning tour, so it was more quiet and enjoyed the stunning views and a Cham culture music/dance show. Misa is a very enthousiastic guide, she has a lot of knowledge about the history of the site and local culture, all of which she shares with a smile. We closed the tour with a healthy and tasty local lunch a nice boattrip, before heading back to our hotel. We would highly recommend this tour with Misa as your guide.

It was a lovely tour of My Son temple followed by a dance performance and a Vietnamese family lunch with a small group of people. We drove there in a small bus and got the boat back which was very nice as there was a very nice breeze in the boat which made it much more comfortable in the April midday sun. The tour guide Lee was very good with explaining the history of the temple. I recommend this tour to any solo travellers,couples and families.

My tour guide is Misa. He led us to the Myshan Holy Land first, then to lunch, and then took a boat. My tour guide was humorous and explained the Myshan Holy Land very clearly and in detail, because there was a Japanese woman in the itinerary who was not very mobile and familiar with it. She spoke English, so the tour guide spent more time patiently assisting her, and the overall experience was good.

We had a great day at My Son and would recommend this. Lee was a great guide and helped us make the most of what there was to offer. He was very knowledgeable. The local cooks food was tasty and coming back via boat added andextra dimension to the whole tour. We would recommend this to other couples, friendship groups and children and families. There is a small amount of walking required but this is fairly low level and only slight and very minimal uphill.

We booked this tour through our hotel in Hoi An. We were promptly picked up from our hotel at 7:30 for the half day tour to My Son, which included lunch and a boat ride at the end. We were expecting a small group, maximum 10 people, but there were two vans, totaling 17 people for the tour! Somehow though, it didn't seem unmanageable.
It took about an hour to drive to My Son, once we picked up the other tourists. I enjoyed the drive, with the scenery of rice paddies every few km or so, next to the various towns we passed.
My Son Sanctuary is gorgeous, so lush, next to mountains, and the ruins are spectacular. We took a shuttle at the entrance to the ruins (about 2 km), where we purchased our entrance tickets (150,000 vnd, not included in the price of the tour - 690,000 vnd, about $40 Can).
Quyen was very knowledgeable and explained a lot, including that the construction of the temples and towers can't be replicated, since no one has yet figured out the construction method, which dates to before the 10th century. She also has a great sense of humor and is very friendly! The sights were amazing, and we were given about 25 minutes to wander around.
Lunch was included, and they took care regarding my gluten and shellfish allergies - much appreciated!
At the end of the tour there was a boat ride, about 30 minutes, which was very enjoyable. We were given a choice to be dropped off in Old Town, instead of our hotel, so that's what we did. We had such an enjoyable time, this was one of my favorite days in Vietnam!

Quyen (Queen or Power) was an excellent tour guide who spoke English well, and provided a meaningful tour. She explained the location and history well, and was very engaging, by including "pop quizzes".
I was very impressed by this tour, and I would highly recommend people whom are in Hoi An to consider them.

We booked a group tour but ended up having a private tour just with the two of us, which made the experience even more pleasant. Our guide, Duon, was very friendly and welcoming and provided us with a lot of information about not only the My Son Sanctuary but also general information about Vietnam (people, culture, nature, history, etc). He, together with the driver, guided us very well so we didn’t have to worry about anything and could fully enjoy the trip. We went to My Son, followed by a typical Vietnamese cooking class and lunch, a little massage and a walk around the Vegetable Village. We had a really good day and I would highly recommend the tour!

We took this tour together with Ductin as our tour guide, who did a lovely job showing us the sites, telling us about the history of My Son and guiding us through the whole trip. Besides being very knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects, he was a super friendly guy.
The lunch was very tasty and the boat ride back was a fun addition to the experience.
