Fantastic and family-friendly tour of Mỹ Sơn - My family of 4 (including 7 and 8 year olds) had a fantastic tour of Mỹ Sơn (pronounced "Me Sun") sanctuary. Vũ was our tour guide and did a fantastic job! He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic day. The day started at 8am with a pick up from our hotel in central Hoi An. A minivan (old, but air-conditioned and comfortably fits 15) drove us ~1 hour to the site. After the tour, we had lunch, toured a local's home to learn how to make an authentic food, and rode a boat back to Hoi An central. We learnt about history, Champa culture, visited a home to learn about traditional rice paper-making, and took a nice and calm boat ride back to old quarters Hoi An. The activities and tours were fun and very well organized with Vũ as an excellent host, who kept the whole family entertained.

Worth the trip - Great tour, guide Bay was very knowledgeable on the topic. The air conditioned van was very appreciated in the summer heat. Lunch was tasty! The rice paper stop is unnecessary.

Amazing tour, extremely knowledgeable guide, we highly recommend it! - What an amazing tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He was also patient, kind and helpful. My wife wasn't feeling well, she was quite slow but the guide always wait for her to explain to everyone. We both enjoy this tour and recommend it!

A great day at My Son Sanctuary - My daughter and I had a wonderful day with Lee as our guide. He gave us wonderful information along the your so that we knew what we were looking at (very helpful when you do not read nor speak the local language). Lee made the day so much fun and our tour needed with a lovely boat ride! Thanks so much Lee for a great day💕

Weak - The place is interesting but I wouldn't recommend this particular agency. The tour guide had strange attitudes as if he couldn't care less about his job. For example, he would arrive at a spot, turn around and mechanically start reciting his monologue without even waiting a second for the majority of the group to arrive. Or occasionally rambling angrily in Vietnamese. I was able to hear the explanations of other guides and noticed that our guide, in comparison, was just repeating the same two or three ideas throughout. Finally, the paper making activity at the end is a waste of time. They take you to this house where the entire group stands around watching while 1 person takes his/her turn to make the paper (like making a crepe) - but also the old lady there systematically and forcefully grabs each participants' hand to guide the process - so even when it's your turn you are not really doing anything.
