If you are an avid lover of ancient history, then My Son Sanctuary is a must-see! Located in the upper area of the Thu Bon River, near Da Nang City and about 20 km west of Tra Kieu Citadel, My Son is a cluster of Hindu temples in Duy Phu Commune, Duy Xuyen District. Once a sacred site for the Cham people (known today as Cham), it was used for making sacrifices to the gods. Built between the 4th and 13th centuries A.D., this renowned architectural complex was dedicated to the god Shiva. Our guide will provide insights into Cham history and their Hindu worship practices. Additionally, you will have the chance to watch a traditional Cham dance performance. Recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1999, My Son is a fascinating destination.

Amy was a great tour guide and we had a really nice time exploring My Son sanctuary
Dear customer , Thank you so much for your wonderful review about our company. Looking forward to welcoming you back one day. Many blessings to you and your family in the future ! Best regards My Son Tour
Our tour to My Son yesterday from start to finish could not have been any better. Our tour guide Van was waiting at our pick up point bang on time, as per the instructions from the tour operator which were down to a tee. Van was so knowledgeable, explaining to much to us on the car journey to the site (just myself and my husband, the driver and Van) in a very comfortable car and good driver. Van walked us through so much information & facts about not only Vietnam and its history but also My Son, and he took the best pictures for us to remember our trip as he knew the very best angles to get pictures from. Having a private tour guide was worth every penny and the whole tour was fantastic. After My Son, we took a local boat at sunset down towards the old town of Hoi An whilst eating THE best banh mi ever, again Van captured these moments on my camera. I cannot recommend this tour enough, I only wish we had more time here to book another tour with Van.

Our guide was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, interesting and across all of the history. It was such an interesting tour, delivered by a guide who was clearly passionate about the subject. The tour itself was very good, and was exactly what we had hoped for. We were picked up on time in a spotlessly clean car, driven by a great driver. Great comms before the trip. Finishing with the boat trip was great. Highly recommend this tour.
Michael our guide was funny, solicitous (I’m 71) and very knowledgeable with a great command of English. Minibus pickup from our hotel to My Son entrance, then electric tuk tuk to the site with Michael explaining all the “need to knows” as he showed us round. Time to explore on our own, followed by a traditional Cham music and dance performance. Back to Hoi A for a boat trip with picnic then disembarked at the night market.
Had a excellent and a very enjoyable day with Thiem the tour guide he absolutely made the very good with his knowledge would definitely recommed to give it a try
We booked through GetYourGuide App - our first time and were very happy to enjoy such a wonderful trip. Our guide Lin's grasp about the history and culture behind the old temples made it come alive. We were picked up from our hotel and had a scenic car journey. The boat trip during our return journey with the sun setting in the background was memorable. The warm and tasty Bahnmi added to the charm. Thank you Lin.
Perfect!! I booked the tour just one day before, but the staff was so flexible and kind. Especially, our hotel was placed on Đà Nẵng, but they picked us from our hotel. Off course, I paid extra fee but it wasn’t expensive compared to other taxi companies. Regarding the tour, that was so excited! The guide spoke fluent English and I could understand all contexts easily. Also, he took the picture of us with high hospitality! I would like to use again once I came here! Cảm ơn!
We had a great day. Tea was such a nice and knowledgeable guide. She had a great way of introducing us to the Cham and My Son. We learned a lot. It felt as if we were traveling with a very learned friend.
Very nice tour to spend half a day, the ruins of the Champa people are beautiful, the typical dances of the people are beautiful and our Han guide was excellent, a very kind guy, very knowledgeable and very friendly, a golden boy, we recommend this tour but above all this one gorgeous boy!!!
