“The tour was amazing. Truly no complaints. We got the 5:30am tour and if you have the opportunity to take it. It truly exceeds all expectations of what you think itll be. The drive there isnt too bad! You start off with a coffee and then the tour guide gave us tons of history and facts of the sanctuary. The area is just stunning… with the morning glow of the sun, birds chirping, seeing all the trees and plants. After a while of history and walking around looking at all the sites, we were able to have 15min to ourselves to walk around and take photos/do our thing. Then, we…”

Amazing food, ambiance and lots of activities and things to do. unfortunately we weren't able to do the alpine rollercoaster or the cabaret show so please do allot about 5 hours to see all of sun world. marble mountain was…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 508 reviews · from $22

Spend about five hours on a small-group trip from Hoi An to UNESCO-listed My Son Sanctuary, with an English-speaking guide, time among the Champa temples and an Apsara dance. The return includes a short Thu Bon River cruise and banh mi. Guides have included Michael, Thien and Luan, though your guide will depend on the day.

“My Son is in a very pretty locale, and the ruins are interesting, though not overly abundant. Much of the ruins are reconstructed, though there are several pieces that are ancient and original. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, though I found he was trying too hard to be funny to cater to tourists, which is unnecessary. This trip might have been better with a private car and guide, as the time at the ruins was relatively limited. Additionally, the timing was delayed from the get-go — we were picked up 25 minutes later than expected (the apologetic guide kept us informed about the delay), then the ruins felt…”
