Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

Traveler Reviews
It was great value for money. We had a wonderful guide Thuey who spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable. She also appeared very caring and attentive to everyone. Unfortunately it was very wet but Thuey made sure we were all looked after. A great tour and concert.
We had a lovely afternoon visiting My Son Sanctuary with Mike, who is an excellent guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the site. He also explained about Vietnam's history with it's neighbours over the years which was really interesting and helped put everything in context. All in all a great value trip, including a sandwich, drink, a traditional Cham music and dance show and boat ride! Would highly recommend.
Everything went well, tour provider allowed us to move date last minute as we got sick. It was exiting well planned journey! thank you
The trip was perfect! Our guide Thuy (asked us to call her Tea) was amazing, kind and really attentive. Her knowledge and passion was really impressive, we recommend tours guided by her. We loved her energy and she was always eager to answer any questions. The place is incredible, totally worth the price :)
Our guide Tin was excellent! He told us about not only the sanctuary itself but also the history of Vietnam. He took great care of all the members(a member sometimes disappeared and didn't follow the others, but he was really patient for her). He gave proper period of time for taking pictures and looking around when we needed. Thanks to him, I really enjoyed the tour.
This was an interesting and informative tour. My Son is a beautiful and scenic historic site in a tranquil natural setting. Our guide, Cam did a great job directing us through the tour and providing information on the site, injecting some personal humour. The afternoon tour was less busy at the site than I had expected...a nice surprise. The cultural show was of good quality with interesting dances. The bahn mi was delicious and enjoyed later in the tour...good timing. Longer time to explore the My Son site could have been used, but what was available was as per the itinerary. This was a great
Tin was a great guide. He dealt with the differing pace of the group well. The amount of information given was good. the bahn MI on the boat was a nice surprise!
Very interesting and our guide, Misa, was delightful and spoke very good English.
Our Guide Lee was very informative.Explained all about the land,the Hindu religion, the male & female and getting the holy water.The ruins are so old it's Amazing!
Our tour guide, Ellie, was incredibly knowledgeable, with excellent English. She gave us an in depth understanding of the My Son area in a very short period of time. I would highly recommend this tour and Ellie as the guide.
It was a super informative and interesting trip. The journey to and from the My Son Sanctuary was very comfortable and safe. Our tourguide Ellie was very kind, funny and knowledgeable. During the drive she answered all of our questions and told us interesting facts about the Vietnamese culture and life in and around Hoi An. We got to eat a delicious Banh Mi on the boat - all in all a perfect trip that's well worth the money.
I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Our tour guide Cam was amazing. Great knowledge shared with so much passion. He was very kindly taking care of everyone in the group making sure everyone is happy. Additionally Cam shared a story of a polish national- Kazimierz Kwiatkowski, well known for his efforts to preserve historical and archaeological sites in Vietnam such as the Imperial City of Huế, Hội An and Mỹ Sơn As a polish national myself I was truly touched by this and thank you so much Cam for sharing this story with us.
