Good guide, beautiful tour to my son - Well organized tour of 10-12 people, punctual and transportation by air-conditioned minivan. The real added value was our guide Missa who, in addition to explaining aspects of Vietnamese daily life, was an excellent guide in My Son. Excellent typical Vietnamese lunch with a local family. Highly recommended!

My Son with Misa - We were picked up from the hotel on time in the morning and then drove in an air-conditioned bus towards My Son. At the temple complex, Misa was able to tell us a lot about the significance of the complex and was always incredibly friendly :) she had a great charisma and it was fun to listen to her. The temple complex is beautiful and really worth a visit if you are staying in Hoi An. Afterwards we had some good traditional Vietnamese food and a boat trip.

Great for Solo Traveling - Host, Misa, was wonderful - Booked this excursion last minute and absolutely loved it!! Misa, the host, provided pickup, transfer and tour guide for My Son Sanctuary, a lovely lunch and delightful boat ride back to center of Hoi An. Misa made the enter trip so personable and knew everyone’s name. Have incredibly facts and recommendations. Would recommend to any solo travelers, and plenty of couples seemed to enjoy the experience as well! FYI the van is nicely air conditioned- My Son is not - so wear breathable attire for hot days.

Beat the crowd tour! - During the tour the information is nicely spread out. And you really beat the crowds. So we arrived as one of the first groups and you were gone before it got too busy.

Recommended, good value for money - Very nice, well-organized tour with a great guide. Lee was able to answer (almost) all of the questions and looked after the group well. The boat trip at the end was unnecessary. You don't really see anything except a wide river.

My Son tour - We did the My Son Tour in the morning with Misa. I recommend the tour with them for the time in the morning first of all, at the opening there were still few people and you can enjoy the place. The guide speaks English very well, is very nice and explains in detail, he made us love the place. Later, good typical lunch and relaxing boat ride to rest. I advise
