Highlights
Join a full-day trip from Hoi An to My Son Sanctuary and Marble Mountains. Start with an early morning hotel pickup to be the crowds. Be driven to the My Son Sanctuary, the religious center of the Champa Kingdom from the 4th to the 13th century. Explore the historical and architectural wonder nestled in a lush green valley, with dozens of red brick towers and sanctuaries. Gain insightful information about the history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. After the first half of the tour, have breakfast of local Mì Quảng noodles at a family-run restaurant with local noodles. Then, continue to Marble Mountains (literally known as "five elements mountains" in Vietnamese). Climb up the stone stairs carved into the mountain, visiting caves and pagodas on the way. Once at the top, admire the panoramic view of the sea and river that connected Da Nang and Hoi An City. Wrap up your adventure with a descent, get some free time to rest, and return to your hotel.

Itinerary
This is one of the most convenient way to discover Champa Kingdom history, architecture and its culture. A private tour accompanied with a guide is usually charged expensively while the quality guests received are uncertain. I'm a local guide working permanently at this complex. I do understand everything about the monuments here as well as I own a pretty good command of spoken English. I operate this tour as so many other travel agencies do but charge very reasonably because we only meet you at My Son sanctuary and show you around the complex. We offer you with snacks (banh mi) and coffee or soft drink after the visit at the restaurant near the complex. I also have the driver to pick up guests from their accommodations in Hoi An or Da Nang,... The price we offer cover guiding in the temples and free museum visit, Cham art performance, buggy transfer, private cars,...
Climbing up the mountain to visit the caves and Buddhist temples, enjoying the view to the sea and river.
