Traveler reviews
Great morning with Trieu!
A lovely private tour, we were well guided, learnt so much about the space that we would not have known had we done the experience ourselves. We appreciated being asked to go slightly earlier as it allowed us to see the main section with very few other people there and really take in the peaceful and spiritual nature of the Sanctuary. As we were leaving there were buses and buses arriving and we could start to hear crowds. I highly recommend going as early as you can to enjoy the environment. Trieu was very knowledgeable of the ruins and the history and really made the morning something special and really interesting for us.
Great private tour
Private tour with guDE was great, show was nice. Could have used a little more time to see the surrounding and not just the main ruins.
Exploring Vietnamese History
My Son features the remains of ancient structures (temples) built by the Cham ethnic group which are incredible to look at. However many of the structures were heavily damaged during the American/Vietnamese war. While visiting My Son you can see evidence of the war in the form of bullet marks and bomb holes throughout the grounds making the tour even more fascinating. My Guide Trieu Nguyen was amazing, providing a wealth of information about the history of this place.
