The trip was well planned, neatly communicated and nicely executed. our tour guide - Mr.Lam - was such a sweet young man who was not only very informative but kind hearted too. He made the trip extra worthwhile. In general, Vietnamese people are very welcoming and helpful in nature... this trip proved this again and wanting me to come back to this great country of Vietnam again.

Lam was excellent, having grown up and still living close to My Son he knows the history so well. Right amount of time at the sanctuary and excellent cruise on the river with bbq bits. Thoroughly recommend.

Our guide Thao was really knowledgable. He not only gave us info about the history of My Son, he told us stories of his youth and what it was like to grow up in the area. That was appreciated by us all.

The trip was well structured with a guided tour with excellent knowledge and story telling by Thao, following by a lovely traditional Cham performance. The food, rice wine and boat trip were a super ending to a fun day. Thao was a great tour guide, really passionate about local history, warm, engaging and superb English speaker. Highly recommend this trip

We had the absolute pleasure of having Lyn as our guide, and she truly made our experience unforgettable. From start to finish, she was incredibly kind, patient, and full of positive energy. She taught us a lot about culture and history of the region. At the end of the trip she gave us tips what to do in the city and what we should avoid. 100% worth it.
