good experience - 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.

Tour My Son - Did the excursion to the archaeological site of My Son + lunch + return by boat. Our guide Misa, very knowledgeable and kind, gave us a lot of useful information about the archaeological site, its history and its restoration. Recommended tour for the organization and the excellent guide.

Amazing trip with enthousiastic guide - 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.

Nice visit - Well organized visit to the sanctuary with good explanations (thanks Tin, great guide!), even if we suffered from the heat!
Nice Vietnamese lunch, however the return by boat is not of much interest

Average tour and overpriced - *There are a lot of 5 star reviews but this is because we were told to leave a review by the tour guide and they stood over us while we wrote it.*
Thuy was a very friendly and considerate tour guide. However we felt the tour was very overpriced for what you get. The boat ride at the end seemed like it was just thrown in to make it feel like you got your money’s worth, but didn’t add anything. And the main attraction - My Son - wasn’t included in our ticket. You’d think it would be considering this was the point of the tour.
Definitely cheaper ways of seeing My Son, e.g. book a 2-way bus or even a taxi and rent an audio guide.
