Tour itinerary

Day 1: Cruise Port - Ho Chi Minh City - Cruise Port (L)

Our private guide will pick you up at the jetty in Phu My port (if you are arriving at other port, please request for different quote) and transfer to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly called Saigon, 80km away) is app. 1 and a half hours to its center. Ho Chi Minh is not only sightseeing, but about street markets, where bargains are struck and deals are done; the pavement cafes, where stereo speakers fill the surrounding streets with a melodious thumping beat; and the sleek new cafes and pubs, where tourists chat over beer, pretzels, coffee and croissants.

Today you will have a sightseeing tour in Ho Chi Minh City which includes visits to the: War Museum, Independence Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, Dong Khoi Street, Jade Emperor Pagoda and Ben Thanh market.
Afternoon, transfer back to the port and drop off by the ship. End of the Ho Chi Minh City tour from cruise port.

The visits and programs can be modified to suit your inquiry and plan.

Useful Inforamtion:

1. Ho Chi Minh Cruise Port Terminals

Mid-size and smaller ships can navigate the twisting Saigon River and tie up within a very short distance of the city center.

Saigon port consists of three different piers in the center of town. The ship is not assigned to a specific pier until 24 hours prior to arrival. The three piers are located as follows:

One of the following:
1. Nha Rong Port - # 3 - 5 Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, District 4, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; or
2.Tan Thuan II Port-# 243 Bui Van Ba Street, Tan Thuan Dong Ward, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; or
3.Lotus Port-# 1A Nguyen Van Quy Street, Phu Thuan Ward, District 7, Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam

Larger ships dock at Phu My, a commercial port on the Vietnam East Sea near Vung Tau, some 80 miles by road (1.5 hours) from Ho Chi Minh City.
The port is out in the middle of nowhere so don’t expect to walk around and find things to do.

2. Vietnamese Currency

The currency of Vietnam is the Dong, however, US dollars are widely accepted. There are approximately 23,000 dong to 1 USD.

3. Weather in Ho Chi Minh

Ho Chi Minh City has a tropical monsoon climate - it's very much a typical steaming hot Southeast Asian metropolis where you can expect it to be either hot and dry or hot and wet.
Regardless of the time of year, you'll never need more than one layer of clothing in this southeastern Vietnam city.

Ho Chi Minh City has two distinct seasons, the northeast monsoon months from November to April and the rainy southwest monsoon months of May through October. Humidity levels average 75% throughout the year but are higher during the rainy season.

4. Free Wifi Service

Free WiFi access is available in many cafes and restaurants in Vietnam.

We are now finally home from our cruise and holidays in Vietnam and Hong Kong, We want to thank you very much for the wonderful way you organised out Saigon tour recently. Our guides Johnny, D, Rabbit and of course our driver “005”. Johnny was full of laughs, but importantly all 3 were informative, knowledgeable and very helpful and would recomend your company to anyone.
From the moment we arrived to the time we left Johnny , D and 005 were on hand.
In hindsight we should have organised one of your tour guides to meet the ship at the 3 ports we stopped at in Vietnam instead of relying on finding our own way around (mainly Phu My, Hue/Danang and Halong Bay) as the ship berthed well away from the main areas.
Once more thank you very much.

From our very first communication to the execution of the tours, we cannot recommend this company highly enough. They tailor made the tours in Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City to our needs. The tours were perfectly executed, the guides very knowledgeable, friendly, had a good command of the English language and had a wonderful sense of humour. Five Star Rating.
