Excellent Tour! - My husband and I chose this tour because we wanted to see that part of Vietnam but didn’t want the 2-3 hour drive to Hanoi. We were so happy we did! Our tour guide Woody was AMAZING!!! He was fluent in English, full of information, friendly, funny, and just felt like a good friend. We went to beautiful sites, and he customized the tour to our liking. He took us to the best “locals” restaurant ever, and we stopped for iced coffee too. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone! It was fantastic!

Vibrant Vung Tau - Our tour guide Anna was very friendly and delightful as she showed us the highlights of Vung Tau, answering our many many questions! Hans was also a great driver and we had a very comfortable trip in their air conditioned van as we drove along streets lined with hedges and flowers! We were pleasantly surprised at how lovely Vung Tau was! It was just after Chinese New Year and there were beautiful flowers and decorations everywhere and great views of the ocean and town. We really enjoyed all our stops and especially our fabulous lunch, which was so fresh and delicious!! Absolutely recommend this tour!!!

A very enjoyable experience with Anna - Went with Anna and Hans(driver) All good and enjoyable. Anna very thorough, informative , polite and helpful. She went out of her way to cater for all our needs. One of our group was a bit sick and Anna took her to a pharmacist for assistance.. You should pay her more. Many thanks for a good day.

Wonderful tour…wonderful guide! - Sang, our tour guide was the best! He took us to so many wonderful sights and being on a private tour in an air conditioned vehicle is a huge bonus! If you request Sang as your guide you definitely won’t regret it.

A greatest hits tour of the Vung Tau City Area..... - My wife and I toured the Vung Tau City area with Maximus Travel Vietnam as part of our Celebrity Solstice cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore - Phu My Port was one of the stops. At this port you are required to take a bus from the ship out to the port entrance to meet up with tours you have privately scheduled (i.e. tours not booked thru the cruise line), which is only 400-500 yards away. Our guide Tippy and his driver met us at the port entrance exactly as stated, and at the time we had agreed upon. Disclosure for visitors: Be aware that my wife and I intentionally booked this tour because we had no interest in visiting Ho Chi Minh City or the area of the Cu Chi Tunnels. As nice as the Vung Tau City area is, it isn't what I would call a "must see travel destination" - it's pretty basic. Our tour guide Tippy did a great job of showing us everything of note there is to see in the Vung Tau area, but it simply can't compare to Bangkok, for example. OK.....now that I've set the stage...... We certainly visited a number of locations in the Vung Tau area: Christ the King Statue, the lighthouse, the White Palace, the Chon Khong Monastery, the beach area, and the Upside Down House. And, we had a very nice lunch. In summary, Tippy was a great guide and we had a fun day. I believe we saw "the greatest hits" of the Vung Tau City area. Our thanks to Maximus Travel Vietnam for setting up a thorough tour, and providing an excellent guide and driver for us.

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!

Happy to visit Vung Tau - Castle provided a very good tour visiting a community house which helps the local community and people in need. The people there were lovely and we're very happy to show us around their community house. We then headed to the Jesus statue where Castle walked with me to the top (835 steps). He wanted to make sure that I was going to be OK and showed a genuine interest. Then off to lunch at a local restaurant where Castle selected local meals which were very enjoyable. Lastly we visited the local museum which show cased the culture from olden days, the war archaeology. Unfortunately we ran out of time as we could have spent more time at the museum. Castle is very knowledgeable and is very passionate. He also speaks very good English.

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.
