Great day out! - Excellent tour. Our tour guide Harry (Hung) was excellent and was very patience and helpful with us (an elderly couple). He took us to a local coffee shop and restaurant during the tour and these stops were great. We spent quite some time at the Big House where food is prepared and served to local people for no cost and we met and chatted to the owner Kim which was wonderful. A great day out.

Fantastic “Best of Vau Tang” Tour from Phu My Port - We did the Best of Vung Tau City Shore Excursion from Phu My Port and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Pickup at the cruise port was smooth and everything was very well organized. Our guide, Castle, was fantastic. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and shared detailed history and explanations at each of the sites we visited, which made the tour especially interesting. We visited several great locations and enjoyed a delicious authentic Vietnamese lunch. Castle also went out of his way to accommodate a food allergy in our group and made sure a member of our group with mobility issues was comfortable throughout the day. The driver was excellent and the van was clean, cool, and very comfortable, which made the travel between stops relaxing. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting from Phu My Port. It was a wonderful way to experience Vietnam.

Good customer service - We were on the Norwegian Sun and unfortunately they cancelled this port within the 24 hour period so we were very grateful that the tour operator still refunded our money in full.

Cultural exchange and foodie experience - This was a good value for the price, especially if you want to get a cultural and foodie experience away from the cruise port. Hayden was exceptional and speaks English well. Since it was a Sunday, we went to church services at a Notre Dame style Cathedral and to a pilgrimage site for Our Lady. We experienced a cultural exchange with folks in the Tran Community. Vietnamese pho meals, refreshing seaside beverages and Vietnamese sandwiches were included. In addition was a visit to a pagoda to a whale and exploring Robert Taylor's Museum of Worldwide Arms. WOW! Full of meaningful sights and experiences.

Fabulous trip of Vung Tau - We were picked up at the port by our guide Jaiden, who gave us great commentary on Vietnam, including the history, commentary on the culture and ways of life. We visited some interesting and significant sites around Vung Tau and our guide. Jayden ensured we were well taken care of. We had a delicious Vietnamese lunch and also coffee by the beach which was very special!! We got back to Port in plenty of time and can highly recommend this excellent excursion!! Thank you, Jayden for a great day!

Bruno, our tour guide,... - Bruno, our tour guide, was there waiting for our group of 6 at the cruise port and led us to our private van and driver. He was very funny and knowledgeable about the various sights and highlights of Vung Tau. He can speak fluently in both English and Vietnamese and can communicate and interact with everyone in our group. We were able to tailor the tour itinerary to match with our interests and preference especially for a visit to a local market selling exotic tropical fruits. We were also treated to a great restaurant offering Vung Tau's specialty dishes. We highly recommend this private tour and Bruno.
