Due to a late change in our cruise itinerary we found ourselves visiting Ho Chi Minh City. After reviewing tour options we arranged a group with fellow passengers to do the City tour with Pham. We were communicated with very well before our arrival and Mr Ben met us at the port entrance. Mr Ben was informative and friendly, giving us lots of history and local information during the drive to the City. Our first stop for iced coffe was delightful. All of the tour was very well organised, Mr Ben keeping us informed and attended to. The trishaw ride was such a fun experience. We had such a fantastic trip and I'd highly recommend Pham and Mr Ben

From the moment we were picked up, our wonderful guide Ben was fantastic. We visited all places on itinerary, with commentary along the way. The Tri Shaw ride was the highlight of the tour. Ben also took photos and then forwarded them to the group. Pham Tours were very professional and emails were answered almost immediately. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone that is considering a PrivateTour in Vietnam. Half the price of the cruise ship offering with added stops along the way.

On the ride from PhuMy to Saigon, Ms Dao gave us some history and taught us some helpful words. She was on time and guided us to interesting locations. At our lunch stop, she made sure my food was prepared without MSG...greatly appreciated..and delicious! She sang to us on drive back to ship. Van was new and clean...bottled water provided. Great tour...wonderful guide! Highly recommended!

We never before booked private tour while on a cruise ship. But we didn't regret we did that this time! We travelled in a group of eight people in a minivan. Our friendly guide Ben was very informative and gave us a lot of information you don't read about in the books. We saw a lot of interesting sides in Saigon. We were lucky to be there with lunar New Year. Ben gave us enough time to enjoy the onpredicted events in the streets etc. The trishaw ride in the very busy traffic was great fun! The War Remnants Museum was impressive. We can recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see as much as possible in one day Saigon.
Dear 577evelinem, Thanks very much for writing us this nice review here, which can be very good reference for our future clients who are looking for a reliable tour operator.

We took the day tour of Saigon from our Cruise ship docked at Phu My. We did so much in one day and it was a fabulous tour and well timed. The tour guide Ben was excellent and we got to see so much. We also had the trishaw ride throughout the busy streets of Saigon which was very interesting. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of saigon from a cruise ship. There was no problem getting back to the ship on time and would do the tour again!

We enjoyed this tour. Comfortable van and great guide. Very interesting city. Lunch was included along with coffee. Great value. I highly recommend this tour.
Ben was our tour guide and was very good! He spoke good English and was very funny and entertaining. He was extremely knowledgeable of history of Vietnam and even taught us some Vietnamese words, emphasizing that if you say the word a little different diphthong it could be very different and negative. We had a great experience in Saigon due to Ben and highly recommend him.

My husband and I really enjoyed this full day trip with my fellow cruisers in Ho Chi Min City. Our tour guide 'Ben' was extraordinary, he's very helpful all throughout the trip. He's the best tour guide I've met so far, full of humour and very nice man. I totally recommend this to everyone.

My family and I had the pleasure of using this tour while on a recent cruise tour to Vietnam. The trip was so easy to organise with the guide putting us in touch with other people from our ship to form a group. The guide was friendly, very informative and kept us on track. The tour took us to all the spots mentioned in the tour description and included all entry fees and costs along the way, except for personal shopping in the markets. The trishaw ride was intense but a highlight of the day, Pho 2000 lunch was nice and authentic and the Rex Hotel for a drink was refreshing. Also we stopped at the opera house for pix outside and of course the humbling war museum. The bus was air conditioned and very comfortable for the trip into the city and back to our ship. Ben our guide kept us on time to make sure we saw everything and got back when we needed to. He even had a gift from his mum and a song for us all at the end. I thoroughly recommend this tour for cruise ship passengers who want to get a taste for the city on a limited timeframe. We enjoyed this so much we did a similar tour with the same company when in Nha Trang. Thanks for wonderful memories of our time in Vietnam.
