Make this tour an absolute priority! - My Son early in the morning is a MUST!!! I was actually blown away by how much it exceeded my expectations. Ms. Sue was wonderful. They were prompt in picking us up, and getting up for the 5am tour was unbelievably rewarding. We were literally the first group in the area. The historical context was fascinating, and this tour was super educational. Ms. Sue knew exactly where to take us and ensured all of our photos were taken to our liking. She explained that thousands of people visit per day, and by the time we were leaving it was clear we would not have gotten the photos of this amazing site without going at the time we did! I would say this tour has to be #1 on your list.

Great tour rain or shine - Great transportation and tour of My Son Sancturary from Da Nang! We were picked up at our hotel in a private clean van. It was raining the day we went so we did not see the sunrise but we still had a great time seeing the buildings on the tour. The cloudy rainy day actually worked out great as I think it kept many other visitors away and the green plants and vegetation popped on pictures next to the orange bricked buildings. The rain was heavy during certain parts of the drive to My Son but our driver handled the roads with standing water very efficiently and safely. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the sanctuary and after he told us about each site, he let us take pictures at our own pace without rushing us. We were the first tourists there so we had no one else in the way of pictures. Definitely worth waking up early to have the sights to yourself. This tour group knows what they are doing. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Da Nang.

Small group early morning My Son 4hr tour - Early morning tour was run to schedule and executed by kind, informative and knowledgeable guide Mr Ken, who also related some of his fascinating and at times moving experiences as a war veteran and his life in general. We were the first through the gate and first on-site. 4hours was an adequate amount of time.

Best guided tour in Vietnam - Our guide, Ken, was a wonderfully kind and knowledgeable man! He shared so much of his knowledge about My Son, general Vietnamese history and took very nice photos. The best guided tour we have had in Vietnam, can really be recommended! Lovely to have the whole area to yourself when you arrive so early.

Early but worth it to avoid the heat and crowds. - Absolutely recommend Mr. Ken! He was so friendly, had great knowledge of the history and was able to answer any question we had. It is an early tour but it was worth it because you beat the heat and crowds, even by 0730 other larger tour groups were showing up. Our photos were amazing with no tourists in the background. He also recommended great food.

Be the first visitor! - Getting up at 4:30 sounds tedious but it really pays off: We were the first visitors to My Son Sanctuary. It feels like you are discovering the place all for yourself... Enough time to deliberate over perspective and scenes and picture setup without waiting for the right moment because of somebody stumbling into your focus. Our guide Mr Li did know the history of My Son very well and provided a lot of information. He was always helpful, very friendly and eager to point us to the most interesting details and explained meaning and historical background. We enjoyed the tour very much and can recommend for every photo aficionado who likes to experience a serene morning visit to My Son!

Highly recommended. Excellent tour! - This trip was excellent! Our guide Mr Le was extremely knowledgeable, and we learnt so much from him about the history of My Son and the Cham culture. It was a great way to see My Son, and going on the sunrise tour meant that we avoided all the crowds later on in the day. Great communication and organisation from Andy, and comfortable transport for the drive from Hoi An. Very highly recommended, this is the tour to book. Thank you Andy and Mr Le!
