Narrow streets filled with stores and restaurants and a lot of tourists… sounds like a nightmare but it’s actually charming. But best time to visit is at night and see the river lantern boats. Amazing experience.

Mr. Ben and his team took really good care of us. Ride was on time, great insight and information about My Son and the Champa tribe, good food, and he even takes stunning pictures for you. 10/10 would take my friends/family back.

It’s very considerate that we only set off at 4pm. It avoids direct sunlight. You can experience riding on a blue bamboo boat and releasing sky lanterns. Personally, I think it must be included in your itinerary when you go to Hoi An.

we enjoyed this trip. the tour guide Ben is knowledgeable on the history of My Son and explained what to looked out for during the tour. the lunch is a simple home cooked style food with rice, egg, pork, vegetables and soup. boat ride was random as there is nothing to see but maybe cut the transport time back to Hoi An which we also appreciated.

I had an amazing early morning tour that was very well organized. Booking this tour was a wise decision, as it allowed us to fully admire the majestic beauty of My Son Sanctuary and gain insights into the life and masterpieces of the Cham people. Our tour guide, Philip, was cheerful and experienced, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour.

Someone at the entrance and exit guided me to exchange for physical tickets. I started watching 8-10 small performances at about 17:00, and started the memory show at 20:00.
