Highlights
  • Vung Tau Beach - Vung Tau has four known beaches—Front Beach, Back Beach, Pineapple Beach, and Paradise Beach. Front Beach (Bãi Trước) is the most popular, which for many others is enough reason to stay away. In addition to the crowds, the water is rather polluted and doesn’t offer the best beach setup. However, you can still enjoy some fresh seafood at the many stalls and restaurants that have set up shop—they serve some of the most delicious seafood in the south of Vietnam.
    For a better beach experience, head to any of the other three. Back Beach (Bãi Sau) is much less dirty, and perfect for surfing. As the beach gets some wonderful wind swells, kitesurfing shops have appeared over the years, offering rentals and classes for all levels.

Very good; exactly as advertised! - This was a private tour for just the two of us. We had a very good English speaking guide and a separate driver in a nice new vehicle. Pickup was right on time and we were able to modify the tour to meet our interests. All went very smooth. We recommend visiting this specific area of Vietnam as it is totally different from the chaos you will find in Ho Chi Min City!

Fantastic tour to Vung Tau - Super guide in Mr Duc, he sent all the meeting information in good time so we were confident when leaving the ship. Very comfortable vehicle for the tour and plenty of water was provided. We enjoyed plenty of time at each highlight and he was very knowledgeable about each and every place we visited. Fantastic lunch, we had never eaten Vietnamese food before and it was delicious, Bahn Kot is highly recommended! Super tour, super guide, highly recommended 👌

Anna was an excellent guide - We were a group of 9, and Anna was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, and showed us everything. The highlight for me was climbing the 800 steps to see the huge Jesus statue. 5 of the group did it, and even though it was very hot, we all managed it. There were plenty of rest stops along the way and the view from the inside of the statue was amazing. Just another 100 steps or so to the top. You cannot take water up ( but you can purchase it near the top), so a few just discretely took a bottle. Just don't let the lady at the bottom see you do it, and only drink it when away from the cameras which are everywhere. We got to sample cheese yoghurt which was delicious outside the monkey monastry, lunch was delicious, and we felt we all got excellent value for money. A great alternative shore excursion instead of making the long trek to Ho Chi Minh city.

Great shore excursion from Phu My - This was a very nice tour that touched on all the important sightseeing of Vung Tau. Sunny was very informative and enthusiastic. The van was comfortable. Sunny lives her Vietnamese culture and heritage, and it shows. She brought us for a typical Vietnamese snack of eggs, yogurt, and 3 types of cakes. All delicious. Then lunch was a hot pot. Delicious but not for the faint of heart. Make sure you ask for a mild broth! Although I wad sweating and crying, I loved it!

Great Tour! - Our tour guides, Ms. Sunny and Quinn, we're fantastic. They were knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. They took us to some wonderful historical sites, where we learned about Vietnamese culture and history. We also had a delicious traditional lunch at a local restaurant. Highly recommend!

The best tour of our cruise - Anna, our guide, was just fabulous, and this tour is highly recommended. We saw so much, the bus was comfortable and the driver was excellent. Trying the delicious local cheese yoghurt at the monkey monastery was a bonus. Lunch was great at a local restaurant, and you got to choose what you wanted. A drink of choice was included, and I had the fresh coconut juice. Our last stop was the beach, but as 3 of us didn't want to go, Anna dropped us off at a local spa where we enjoyed a massage. It was a lovely day, and the best of 6 tours we've done so far.

Good tour, so-so destination - We had a nice tour with our guide. She was very I formative. The city itself doesn't have much to offer. We enjoyed our stop at the monastery.
