Highlights
The Independence Palace - The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Independence Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It’s still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.

Wonderful day of sightseeing - We greatly enjoyed sightseeing Ho Chi Ming city with our private tour guide Linh who spoke English very well and was delightful to be with. On the long drive from port to the city, she kept our interest with information of Vietnam’s past to present day. The pho noodle lunch and Vietnamese ice coffee recommended by Linh were delicious. She kept us safe when crossing traffic congested roads. Our driver safely navigated the busy streets and got us back to port at our requested time. Thanks again Linh.

Phu My Shore Excursion- Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) - Our shore excursion to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) was a wonderful experience. We met our guide Lynn (nick name Penny) at port gate. She was young, yet very knowledgeable of the Vietnamese people, culture and way of life. Her English was good and she was eager and jubilant. Took us to numerous locations, some off the beaten path which allowed us to mingle with the locals. Wonderful experience with Vietnamese people who were still celebrating the Lunar year. Our tour was in a very comfortable mini van and we tip our hat to our driver. How they navigate the streets is an experience all on its own. As a shore excursion, they made sure we were back at cruise terminal on time. Great time had by our group of four.

Amazing Saigon - We were picked up at the port by Lee and our driver and taken on an amazing tour around Saigon. We got to see the sites before all the big buses showed up. Lee was very informative and had such pride in his country. He was an absolute pleasure to be with for the tour.

Amazing experience! Highly rexommended! - We had an amazing tour with Linh! She shared so much knowledge with us as she took us all around Saigon! Since I was traveling with my mother on a private tour, they were able to customize our tour to exactly what we wanted’ furthermore, we changed our minds last minute to go to Saigon instead of the Mekong Delta because the drive was far and we didn’t have the time, so Henry from the sales department was easy to get in touch with and helped to rearrange our trip for us right before! We really had an amazing experience and highly recommend this tour and this company!
