So thankful for our day!
Our tour with Hannah was outstanding! My Son was such an incredible sight to see, and I couldn't imagine visiting without Hannah speaking about the relics. Our jeep tour through the city, rice fields and neighborhoods was such a beautiful way to become acquainted with Vietnam. The Terracotta Workshop was such a special stop as well. It was an unforgettable day of our lives, and we're so thankful to our drivers and Hannah!

10/10 review
Wonderful way to see this beautiful historic site, take in the sights and sounds of the beautiful countryside and taste some delicious local cuisine. We also had an unexpected and totally awesome visit to a terracotta workshop which was so interesting. Our guides Ben and Nine were outstanding, knowledgeable, warm and funny as well. Highly recommended trip.

Hannah
We had a fantastic tour guide that managed to take us to BA Na hills and my Son. Hannah was flexible around our needs as we only had one day to visit both sites, she was able to fast track us through BA Na hills and was very well informed when we visited My Son.
via Tripadvisor
Excellent experience. A highlight of our time in da nang
Cannot recommend this tour and our wonderful guide Carol enough. Our family of 5 loved visiting the My son temples with Carol who was so knowledgeable and thoughtful. Driving through the villages and fields, seeing water buffalo and chillies drying on the streets was a highlight of our trip. Thank you Carol!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 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 My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR?
+
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 My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR?
+
Around 9 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does My Son Hindu Temples & Terracotta Workshop PRIVATE TOUR 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 Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An: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.
