5My Son Sanctuary tour - highly recommend
Tai was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly. My family enjoyed learning some of the history of this beautiful country. The farm house lunch was sensational. Highly recommend doing this tour
5Good Trip to the Ancient Sanctuary.
It was very intersting trip to get to know about the history of Vietnam. We were staying in Danang and booked the tour with pickup option in Danang hotel. But the guide said the tour with Danang option would require extra fee for pick up. If someone is staying in Danang it is better to make this trip when they stay in Hoi An.
5Unforgettable visit to My Son Sanctuary with Tai!
Visiting My Son Sanctuary was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and that comes down entirely to our guide, Tai. Exploring these ancient ruins without someone who truly understands the Champa kingdom would mean missing half the story. Tai brought the history alive with rich, engaging explanations of the architecture, the Hindu mythology behind the carvings, and the modern history of the valley. He paced our morning perfectly, navigating the site seamlessly to keep us ahead of the largest crowds and in the shade whenever possible. Beyond his deep historical knowledge, Tai is simply a joy to spend a day with. He has a warm, fantastic sense of humor, was great with candid photography, and made the entire experience feel like traveling with a local friend rather than a formal tour guide. If you are planning a trip out to My Son, book a private tour and request Tai—you could not ask for a better guide.
5Great private tour!

5Tai 5/5 fantastic
Tai our guide was fantastic. We had originally booked to start at 8:30am. Tai offered to pick us up earlier to beat the heat and the crowds. He was very knowledgeable and humorous. He was also more than happy to be our photographer throughout the tour. Definitely would recommend
