We enjoyed the wonderful places - + Knowledgeable guide (Mr. Thanh)
+ Comfortable transportation
+ Amazing places, especially My Son
+ We visited also a Lady Buddha temple, that was a nice bonus
+ For some reason the last section (My Son) was a private tour, that was also a nice bonus
- There was not that much food for lunch (although the soup was good)
Our rating of the places that we visited:
Lady Buddha temple: 7/10
Marble Mountains: 8/10
My Son: 10/10
The weather was hot, but cloudy. Otherwise the tour might have been disappointing.

Fantastic day! - Had a fantastic time, tour guide was great! They are both fantastic sights and worth seeing if you are in the area! The food for lunch was great. There was a fair amount of steps at the Marble mountain but manageable for most people. Overall great day!

Great archaeological site tour - I really enjoyed this tour of My Son archaeological site, and also of the Lady Buddha. Guide Henry Le was very informative and knowledgeable. I actually cut my tour short because I have already seen the Marble Mountains, which was the last stop. The guide was accommodating to this request. There is a lot of walking on this tour. I would recommend this tour.

A great day, we learnt loads - We had a great day! Our guide Hung was amazing, so knowledgeable and a great photographer! We missed the crowds at My Son and he knew all the best spots on marble mountain. We booked a group tour but it was only the 2 of us, which made it even better value!

Fantastic experience, would do again - This was a fantastic tour. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and humorous. This was by far the best tour I’ve had in Vietnam.
This was actually two tours in one - so in the morning I went with one group and in the afternoon it was a different group, although same tour guide. It took longer than I expected as a result - got picked up in Da Nang at 7am and dropped off at 6pm.
Like I said, one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. The company, Venus Travels, did a great job.

Wonderful experience at My Son and Marble Mountains - We had a wonderful experience with this tour. We had a small group, just the 4 of us, which meant no waiting for others for pick up and getting to My Son before the crowds. My Son is beautiful! It’s everything we wanted: ancient ruins in the jungle! We had a very tasty lunch before going up to Marble Mountains. Marble Mountains and caves were gorgeous. Lots of stairs involved, which our kids complained about, but going up to see the caves was totally worth it!
