About this activity

At 8am start from your hotel and travel 50km from Hoi An to My Son holy land in a private air conditioned vehicle with your English speaking guide. My Son was a major religious site for the people of the ancient Champa Kingdom which flourished between the 4th and 13th centuries The Champa people ruled Central Vietnam until it was finally annexed by the Vietnamese in the 19th Century.

The Champa King lived in the political capital of Tra Kieu (whose commercial capital was the port of Hoi An) and so the My Son complex became the most important temples of the Champa Kingdom. Bricks were used to build the temples without the aid of mortar and sculptures of gods, priests, animals, and scenes of mythical battles adorned the walls. The temples were places of worship to the Hindu God Vishnu.

After exploring the ruins and history of My Son and viewing a short traditional Champa Peoples music concert, you will start your journey back to Hoi An arriving at approximately 12:30pm.

The tour guide is very nice and everything is smooth. The site is quite small but interesting to go there for a short visit.

Great tour. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable. Without him, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.

I'm a ancient ruins lover and to be able to visit My Son Sanctuary milestone cleared in my life. Our tour guide is friendly. The air conditioning in the car saved our lives in the unbearable heat. Took about an hour to the site. A comfortable walking distance to the ancient ruins. We felt that we learnt alot from our tour guide. He doesn't just explain to us what was the purpose of the site and objects around it. He also showed us which parts of the site was restored and which was original. Very insightful tour.

My Son was definitely worth a visit - guide and driver arrived promptly at our hotel, and stopped over at an amazing local banh mi place since we hadn't eaten lunch yet. However, our guide could not speak English well, and fell asleep on the way there Ok fine, it was a 1.5 hr car ride...we got more information about the history of My Son from googling. Overall, pleasant trip and interesting sights.
