Morning mist lifts off the Thu Bon River as a vintage army jeep hums away from Hoi An toward a valley of broken bricks and buried stories. The river dares you to slow down; the rice paddies press forward, bright green and deliberate. This private tour stitches a hands-on pottery stop to a focused visit at My Son Sanctuary, letting travelers move at their own pace rather than follow a group clock.
