By Guided Tour

Traveling to My Son by tour is the smartest option for somewhere like My Son, with so much history and culture. I have taken tours that taught me a lot about the Cham people, I felt like I was transported back in time to when they were at their height and the ruins were thriving; what a great feeling!
Pros:
A good itinerary with no stress.
An expert guide takes care of everything.
All you do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your time.
Cons:
Even though a pre-planned itinerary is very helpful and enjoyable, it can feel little one-way.
Best for: People who love history and culture, aka, everyone and anyone who wants to have a relatively easy trip with an educational component. If you want to customize your visit, a Private My Son tour with local guide is an excellent option for amilies and or small groups.

Join a fun and memorable sightseeing tour.

By Grab or Taxi

If you want to conveniently enjoy your trip with a driver, Grab or taxis will be your best options for a relaxing trip.

No guides to tell you My Son’s history.
