Great sanctuary, lovely tour - The tour was fun, My Son sanctuary is definitely a place to visit. We got picked up on time, the lunch was delicious and lovely and then we head to the sanctuary as we chose the afternoon option. The guide was super lovely and accommodating, we found it hard to understand some of what he was telling us in the car but it is how the accent is in most of this part of the country. When we were in the sanctuary itself, it became a lot easier cause there weren’t too many context changes so we understood almost everything. I recommend arriving at the sanctuary around 1:30-2 PM, it will be less crowded than the sunrise or sunset Also do miss on the folklore show! They do them a few times a day, make sure you arrive 15-20 mins earlier to watch the show from a nice seat Also another tip, the best photos you can take are when there is a show running cause 10s of people will be at the show.

Lunch and tour, both A+++ - Thao To was our main guide, but he had a team around him who all combined to made a wonderful experience. First his driver, who safely drove us first to Thao's home for lunch, then to My Son, then back to our hotel. Second, Thao's wife, sister and family, who created a delicious spread of Vietnamese food for us for lunch. (I am going to dream about that morning glory with garlic for months!) Quick mention of the tiny kitten, who gave us a little cat cuddle in-between playing with whatever it could find - leaves, shadows, my bag, etc. So before we ever even reached My Son, we had already had a lovely lunch experience and chat with local people. When we got to My Son, it was clear that Thao was really knowledgeable about the area and the Cham culture. He told us all about the My Son complex's history, architecture, restoration, war damage, and even knew the best angles to take photographs from. Although we didn't have the best weather, we still had an enjoyable tour. I was pleasantly surprised by the Cham cultural display, I hadn't expected it to be so close to Indian dancing.

Highly Recommend!! - Would highly recommend this tour! The guide was very informative (both about My Son and Vietnamese life in general), and enjoyable to be around. I felt like we had enough time to see everything I wanted to. The lunch afterwards was possibly the best meal I had in Vietnam. He went above and beyond including helping me with a few things outside the tour too. Overall very happy with my experience!

Very knowledgable guide and great experience! - Thao guided this tour for my husband and I and our 7 month old baby. He worked at My Son for 8 years so you can't find anyone more experienced and knowledgeable than him! His level of English is excellent, the best of any tour guides we had in Southeast Asia, and he is a good conversationalist and spoke to us about many aspects of life in Vietnam, not just the information about My Son. The site is very beautiful and interesting, and Thao is full of facts that bring it to life. His wife prepared an amazing lunch for us with seafood for my husband and vegetarian options for me. We would highly recommend this tour!

Great experience - Fantastic tour by a great family working together to bring it to live. The husband is the guide while his wife prepares a wonderful Vietnamese lunch. A truly great experience.

A must do - So glad I found out about the 6am tour. We had the whole sanctuary to ourselves. Very beautiful and peaceful. Our guide - Thao grew up around the area and we got to see his home and meet his family. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us

A must tour when you're in Hoi An/Da Nang!! - Thao was great! He is very knowledgeable and tells a lot about Vietnamese culture, politics and so much more from insider's point of view! We are glad we get to visit the My Son sanctuary and it was definitely worth time and money! You're expected to walk and it's humid there, so be prepared! :) Thao took us to the local restaurant after the tour that is owned by his wife, and it was one of the best home cooked Vietnamese meal we've ever had! Thanks to this experience, we get to see the small village of his town and this was such a cool experience! Thank you again to Thao and his family!

Wonderful Thao To My Son Sanctuary Private Tour and Da Nang Da Nang Tour - Thao To My Son Sanctuary Private Tour was quite fun & educational by knowledgable guide Thao. My wife & I learnt about the ancient Champ civilisation, culture, ancestral beliefs and the progression into Hinduism thru subsequent kingdoms & their demise. Interesting indeed! We felt comfortable with Thao & enjoyed his local guide knowledge and friendliness that we engaged him also for private Da Nang tour visiting Bana Hills and Marble Mountain. His wife Hwa was the superb driver in their private car for the Da Nang tour finishing with fantastic fresh live seafood dinner with four of us at Be Man Seafood Restaurant along Da Nang beach recommended by Thao. Thank you Thao and Hwa. We are lucky to have met you both. Hope we would meet again someday someplace.

Awesome Tour - Great Guide! - What an amazing tour! We loved everything about the day and our guide Thạo Tô was just perfect. Very knowledgeable, enjoyable and welcoming. After our tour of My Son, we had a delicious lunch prepared by his family on their property. It was one of our favorite meals! What a great day - highly recommend this tour and booking with Thạo Tô.

Amazing - Could not recommend this tour enough! Thank you to our wonderful guide Thao, he was so friendly and knowledgeable. The food we had at the end of the trip was the best we’ve had in Vietnam! The whole experience was amazing!
