Our tour guide Hao met us at the port, he was great at contacting us to let us know where to meet him and he was easy to find. We toured Saigon’s highlights including the palace, the post office, the war museum, the market, a place making lacquered goods, a pagoda, and a great coffee shop. Hao was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about the history and places we visited. His stories and personal experiences brought the tour to life. Thanks Hao for a very memorable day. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a wonderful introduction to Ho Chi Minh City with stops at the Chinese Market, Ba Thien Hau Pagoda, the Independence Palace and other sites. Lunch at Ngon 138 Restaurant was absolutely delicious. It was also interesting to see everyday life in the city as we drove in the comfort if our air conditioned van.
Our guide, Harry (Tien), was very knowledgeable, helpful and especially friendly. His commentary made the entire day very enjoyable. Most importantly, Harry adapted the itinerary to meet our group’s specific needs and ensured that we returned to the cruise terminal in Phu My at exactly the time we requested. Harry was a joy to spend the day with and made our visit to Ho Chi Minh City memorable.

Liam was a great guide. He gave us a comprehensive two day tour of Saigon and the Mekong Delta. He had a great sense of humor, which made for a fun experience He has a good command of English and when we were not able to understand due to his pronunciation, he would spell a word so that we were able to understand. He is extremely helpful and sensitive to our needs!

Everything was perfect! We had very limited time and so Evelyn made sure that we saw the highlights! We especially enjoyed our lunch of Pho and the coffee break. Mr T, our driver, kept us safe and got us back to the ship on time.
