Thu Ho is a tour operator who hires local free lance guides to conduct the tour. Thu Ho sent a message several days before the tour indicating that "From Cam Ranh Port to Nha Trang City, it's 60km and costs us 1 hours driving per way. The extra payment is 20 USD per person." I accepted the extra payment but the cruise port pickup location has not been in Nha Trang City for a couple years. It should have been disclosed at the time of reservation when cruise port pick up was requested. I believe that the driver and guide should be paid for the extra time, if it was not included in the original price. It was not a payment to the guide and driver, they were to collect the money and give it to the tour operator. The cruise port is actually within a Vietnamese Navy Base. We were transported about 20 minutes to a resort area for pick up by private tour operators. The actual tour was very good. Thien Nguyen (a.k.a. Tom), was very good. He was reasonably easy to understand and provided us with an excellent tour. Due to time and day of arrival, some venues were not open for touring. He did his best to describe them to us and take us to other venues. He was able to describe his religion and the roll it plays in the local culture. The driver (I did not get his name) was aslo very good.
We had an English speaking friendly personal tour guide meet us at cruise port. The new travel van transport six of us in extreme comfort. We visited some of the most popular places. The included traditional Vietnamese lunch was delicious. Excellent trip highly recommended!
We had a fantastic tour! Although the weather was very hot when we visited, we would rather it this way than rain. Our guide, David and the driver did a very good job. He very professionally introduced the city to us , even keeping on with the narrative while in the car. He managed to bring us to all the stops in the program and brought us back to the ship with ample time. David was humorous and caring, always looking out for us while touring and his way of presenting was very entertaining. Very helpful in helping to take photos as well and efficient in time management. We enjoyed all the sights and the aquarium in which we saw many unique fish. The pick up was also very easy. We were contacted a day before tour and Mr David were already onsite waiting for us. We were very glad we chose to do this tour!
We had a great tour, great lunch. Our guide very informative. He modified some parts to suit our needs. We are 7 people late 60’s and early 70’s and he modified the need to climb 109 steps in the heat
My guide didn’t want to do this tour. This was my 8th tour in Asian and this was hands down the worst.
Hi Ms. Aubrey, Thank you again using our services. But it seems you made the review for wrong tour. Hope you can help to delete it. All the best to you Ms. Aubrey. Thank you and best regards, Thu Ho

We had a wonderful time. Tuan was a great guide and showed us everything the big groups saw in half the time. We would highly recommend him as a guide!
We had an excellent tour with Mr David, he gave very precise meeting details which took any stress away. Great organisation for the tour and very knowledgeable. So helpful to make sure we saw the best of every highlight. He also doubles up as a professional photographer (!) Ensuring we had wonderful memories of the day. Highly recommended ❤️
Pickup at Cruise dock in comfortable car. Visit to Buddhist temple, shoreline house, Hindu temple and 5 star lunch. Specialties of local cuisine. Special desert was avocado ice cream. Some shopping and then return to the cruise ship. Great day.
We had a fantastic day with Lam. She is so knowledgeable and friendly and we learnt so much from her. We visited a great array of places and had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. I would thoroughly recommend this trip particularly if you are lucky enough to be guided by Lam.
