Worth the early morning - We were picked up at our hotel exactly when they said. It was about an hour drive. Our tour guide Le was friendly and informative. The temples and information were great but I particularly liked how peaceful it was there. Lots of birds! The breakfast of noodles were eaten after the tour and we're excellent. As we were leaving there were swarms of people arriving. We were able to be there with only a few other people. So happy we did sn early tour. Also our group was only 8 people, which was excellent

Wonderful early morning tour! - Wonderful tour early this morning to My Son Sanctuary led by Mr Van! Yes, a little early, but well worth the effort to avoid crowds. We were basically the first small group on-site and this was very pleasant. Mr Van is a great guide and has lots to share. Really enjoyed it and can only recommend!

A nice morning trip - I enjoyed this trip and my tour guide was very nice. It's not visiting anything like in Cambodia but I appreciated visiting a beautiful site with history.

Wonderful history walk - Very well organized. It’s a good idea to go early in the morning. When we left the place there was a long queue of visitor waiting for the buggy to drive you into the historical site. My tour guide spoke very good English and shared a lot of information along the way and history.

Go early for the best visit, you won't regret it! - Early morning surprise! It might be an early start but it is so worth it. Picked up on time right outside hotel. Easy & safe ride over to the site with great guide. Arrived with just afew other visitors. Met with a delicious coffee & tea before our guide help us understand to importance of the site. Finnished off with pleasant meal. Could not believe the size of the queues trying to get in when we were leaving. GO EARLY MORNING, YOU WON'T REGET IT.

My son sanctuary with our... - My son sanctuary with our guide Van was amazing! The place itself is fascinating but Van made it really special. He explained a lot about history, told us exciting (and heartbreaking) stories about war and was very helpful and thoughtful.

Good but would have liked more detailed information - The tour was good and our guide was very friendly but we would have liked a bit more information than what we actually received on the temples, who they were built by, why so many were built etc. The bus was comfy and picked us up on time and it is absolutely worth getting up early for this tour! The sights were fairly empty when we were and the weather was pretty cool but by the time we were leaving the temperatures were starting to climb and there were long queues of people waiting to get in and more buses arriving. The ruins were interesting but we did slightly wish we were doing the audioguided tour as there were so many information points to scan but we only stopped briefly at each of the temples. Breakfast was also only OK and we would have been just as happy bringing our own food and having longer looking around the sights. But it was a good tour, it was absolutely worth the early start, we just wanted more detailed information than we received.

Marvellous experience - My Son was an excellent venue, amazing temples, or what was left of them following destruction by invaders and time. The mystery of the skilled brickwork and bomb craters from the US attacks left an indelible mark on the site. Very atmospheric and well worth the journey!

Worth early morning - Definitely worth it to go early. Minimal crowds but as we were leaving the buses were unloading! Could have done without the breakfast break that took an hour. Pickup was 0530, and returned to hotel 5 hours later which was an hour after the description said.

Sunrise is spectacular. - The Sanctuary itself was beautiful and the ruins breathtaking. Our guide was not well versed in the history of the site and we all felt as though the experience did not educate us on the history of My Son, although we did ensure that we researched ourselves. Go early to see the sunrise, beat the heat and the tourists that were entering as we exited at 0900.
