    Excellent tour to My Lai

    I booked a tour to the My Lai massacre site with Tommy through Viator. All communication was quick and accurate, pickup went off without a hitch, and the tour itself was excellent. Tommy was a very knowledgable tour guide and very competent driver. He knew the history of the area very well. The lunch stop on the way back was delicious too. I would not hesitate to book a tour with Tommy again and I plan to do so the next time I'm in Hoi An. Thanks for the great tour!

    Response from the operator: Dear Mr Sam, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure taking you to My Lai and sharing the history and stories of the area with you. I’m very happy you enjoyed the tour and the local lunch as well. I truly appreciate your trust and look forward to welcoming you back to Hoi An next time! Tommy

    First class service

    First class service as always. Used Tommy many times before but this was my first solo trip so wanted someone reliable & trustworthy so Tommy was the obvious choice. Used him for airport pickup as well. Excellent cars, drivers & guides. Back again next year & I wouldn't use anyone else when in this area of Vietnam.

    Response from the operator: Dear Jombali, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you had a first-class experience with us once again. It means a lot that you chose Tommy for your first solo trip, and we’re delighted to have met your expectations for reliability and trustworthiness.We appreciate your continued support and can’t wait to welcome you back next year! Safe travels until then! Tommy

    Great Tour

    We took a private tour to the Mural Village & Heroic Mother Statue. Despite the pouring rain Tommy’s team made sure we had a great experience. Our driver and guide spoke good English and made sure we saw everything. The Banh Mi lunch at the end of tour was delicious. Would very much recommend Tommy Dao Tours.

    My Lai Memorial Museum day trip

    We booked this tour from the UK before arriving in Vietnam. All very easy. Tommy rang us in our hotel the day before to confirm details. ‘Ken’, our guide and the driver arrived bang on time and Ken used the journey there to provide fascinating first hand knowledge of the area and it’s history generally and the Vietnam War specifically. The 4x4 used was modern, spotless, comfortable and had air con and, to our surprise, even WiFi. Although the memorial is small if was an experience to walk the ground and again Ken’s knowledge added details we otherwise would have missed. For me, a student of war, it was fascinating, but that was a given. However, for my wife, a less than willing participant originally, Ken’s enthusiasm, knowledge and courtesy made the trip. We thoroughly recommend both this company and Ken as your guide.

    Response from the operator: Dear JB and YT Thank you so much for your excellent review of our tour to Mai Lai. Mr Ken is an amazing guide and an absolute font of knowledge on the war and Vietnamese history. We are so happy that we can make him available to guide our tours. I will pass your great words onto him and he will be very happy to hear that you both enjoyed a day with him. Kind regards, Tommy Dao

    Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

    How much does Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.

    Is Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hoi An?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking, Hoi An Cooking Class(Local Market, Basket Boat,Fishing &Cooking). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hoi An?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hoi An?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue?

    +

    Included: Bottle of water & tower; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; English speaking tour guide; and Entrance tickets. Not included: Gratuities (optional); and 30 USD for the extra surcharge. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +

    +

    Is Guided My Lai Massacre Day & Heroic Mother Statue wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
