The day trip with our tour guide Hai was incredible! She was very knowledgable about My Son Sanctuary, and simply a lovely person to spend the day with. She made my group feel very at ease and able to ask questions about anything! She is also a great photographer, so anyone who is looking for a good picture you’ve come to the right person! For anyone who is considering visiting, I would strongly suggest booking with Hai.
