The best tour ever - Tom was easily the most engaging and entertaining tour guide I have ever had! He made an effort to ensure we felt comfortable and welcome, and went above and beyond to give us all the information we wanted to know. The day itself was phenomenal, the pictures will never do it justice! I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, there’s a feeling of serenity and peace I haven’t experienced elsewhere in the world. I also really hope that you also get Tom as your guide!
Thanks for a fun day!!

I will highly recommend this trip! - The best part was that we started early that gave us an excellent advantage to witness and click pictures in the beautiful My Son Sanctuary. The Marble Mountain experience was amazing too and I feel both went as well because of our guide Sang. He was extremely knowledgable, warm and interactive. We loved how he brought in his own experience and personal knowledge while sharing historically relevant facts related to the places. The lunch was in an amazing venue which we doubt we would have stumbled upon on our own.

Great Experience and Excellent Value - Fantastic experience with the Hoi An Express team! We arrived at My Son early in the morning and had a chance to explore there sanctuary and learn about the history of the Cham people by ourselves - it was nearly an hour before anyone else arrived. Walking through the temples and remnants of the sanctuary alone was a very surreal experience and a highlight of our trip!
Visiting the Marble Mountains and the Linh Ung Pagoda was fantastic as well, but My Son early in the morning was something else.

Awesome experience! - We had such an amazing experience with this company. Our tour guide, Snow, was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She made our tour very welcoming and inviting. We even had some unexpected (good) surprised that were not on the itinerary such ad Monkey Mountain and Lady Buddha! Highly recommend this company.

Great day trip with expert guide - Eric our tour guide gave us the perfect tour for the day with the Marble Mountains and Lady Buddha in the morning, and after a great lunch at the Blue Whale restaurant we arrived at My Son. Eric's knowledge & passion for the history of the Champa kingdom at My Son really was the highlight of the day. We appreciated his expertise and he happily chatted with us all day about the history of this region.

Great tour for anyone wanting to see... - <p>Great tour for anyone wanting to see more of DaNang than just the beach. The MySon sanctuary is a fascinating site not only for its past history but also for its more recent ... they are still finding unexploded bomb on the site although around the historic temples the site has been thoroughly searched.The lunch on the waterfront in DaNang was great especially if you want to see the fisherman bring in their nets with the help of tourists. Marble Mountain was very interesting but lots and lots of uneven steps but try and managed them it is worth it. Finally Monkey Mountain and the Lady Buddha capped off a great day. Lots of monkeys by the roadside but they can be a little aggressive. Thom our guide was excellent and knew his history of the sites well and his English was perfect. Highly recommended.</p>

Nice trip - Tour was nice, so was the guide. Sometimes hard to understand and weird jokes. Was very hot at My Son, so bring lots of water and sunscreen

Beautiful sites - My Son Sanctuary and Marble Mountain were spectacular! Lunch was also very good and the transportation was clean and comfortable. The guide was very nice, but the one drawback was that we really could not understand a word of what he was saying. He was very kind, but his English was not the best and we came away not fully understanding any of the history.

Nice place to visit but do it on your own - I walked from the sheraton grand to this location and paid the $3.50 to visit the mountain....interesting place but each cave featured a shrine and not much to look at in my opinion. Walked the whole mountain in less than 1 hour.
