Great trip - we were one of the first on site so we took lots of great pictures before it was busy. Diem was the best host!! She was very welcoming and approachable, and really knew a lot about the site to share with us.

we chose the afternoon trip as it was cooler than the temperature of the previous day. Still hot. Tour was very interesting. Our guide, Diem, was informative and caring. Long afternoon, but worth it. We did consider completing the sanctuary by ourselves, but after completing the guided tour with transport included, we were very happy with our decision.

Everything went smoothly. The lady gave us a detailed account of the history of My Son. We enjoyed a pleasant boat trip and then had lunch at a restaurant. They were very helpful when we realized we had left a backpack on the bus. It was great.

My Son is an interesting place and it is good to see the effort is made to keep it for other generations as well. The river boat tour and the following lunch were a plesent finish for the tour.
