    My Son Sanctuary Tour

    Our tour guide, Van, spoke English and provided an in-depth view around the history of My Son. Additionally Van, ensured we got the best photos providing local advice, while also assisting with portrait shots. Van was knowledgeable, polite, funny and engaging, highly recommend the day trip and Van as a guide!

    Response from the operator: Dear customer , Thank you so much for your great review about our company , Looking forward to welcoming you back one day. Many blessings to you and your family in the future ! Best regards My Son Tour

    Poor experience.

    The tour of the temples itself was ok however the rest of the experience was poor. The contact prior to the tour was poor including getting two messages from two different operators making it confusing. The car that picked us up smelt of cigarette smoke. The breakfast was terrible. We were then taken to a rice making workshop where we were bullied into giving a tip. The lady was lovely however prior warning would have helped. The tour was overpriced and I would not recommend this.

    I booked solo private tour of MySon sanctuary. Pick up in Hoi An, visit MySon for a couple hours early in the day and drop off in Da Nang. My guide, Van was incredible wealth of knowledge. Even though he was in his late 70s he had energy of a 40 yr old man with 100 yr old history. My driver Mr.Nam was also super friendly. I originally booked the tour for 515a but I changed it to later around 7a due to incoming flight delays. Tour operator was super responsive on WA and very flexible according to my changing needs. I totally recommend using them and and I will come back for more tours with the same company. Thank you so much.

    Response from the operator: Dear Customer , Thank you very much for the impressive review you wrote about the experience. I really felt delighted with the words you complimented Tour guide and my company service . My language is not good enough to express how much grateful to you. So I just simply say that, this favour will be thing I won’t ever forget. I promise to be always a caring guide to make all of my guests happy and show guests deepest knowledge of Vietnam culture and history. Thanks for everything and many blessings to you and your family in the future ! Best regards , My Son Tour

    My Son Private Early Morning Tour

    Excellent tour, highly recommend the early start, very serene & peaceful. Our guide Mr Van was brilliant, with a wealth of knowledge about My Son and Vietnamese history. We were very lucky to have him as a guide. The drive there was great to see the countryside. Awesome must-do your.

    My Son Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does My Son Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $10 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 Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 My Son Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience?

    +

    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 Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book My Son Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience?

    +

    Around 6 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does My Son Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience 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 My Son Sanctuary & Traditional Rice Paper Making Experience?
