day trip to saigon

On January 2, 2025 as part of a NCL cruise we visited Saigon after docking at PhuMy which was almost 2 hours from Saigon. Upon exiting the ship and talking a required shuttle bus from the port to the gate, we were met by Tom, our guide for the day, who took us to a 13 passenger van for our 10 hour excursion. Tom was a great guide providing commentary in excellent english on our way to Saigon and we visited the old French palace now used by the president, the historical post office, the War Museum, stopped for coffee at a local place, had lunch at local restaurant, stopped at the market for souvenirs, visited a shop specializing in lacquer ware and finally returned to the ship. It was a very full day and necessitated somewhat short stops at the various sites to ensure we covered the planned territory set out by kevin who set up the trip through go with guide. We were very satisfied with all details including pickup, transport, return, the vehicle and considering there were 12 of us, the trip stayed more or less on schedule. The war museum would warrant more time for those with historical interest but 45 minutes was enough to cover the highlights. The best part was the we were met at gate with a private vehicle for about 1/3 or less of the cost of a similar trip offered by the cruise ship in a 50 passenger bus. We would not hesitate to recommend go with guide for Vietnam and will consider them for future tour needs.

A must for first-time travellers!

But first some important details – unfortunately, Kevin recently had a most terrible accident and couldn’t personally join me in the tour (Get well soon Kevin!). However Peter, his good friend, took his place and as Kevin assured me, he is just as good. The tour led me to some of HCMC’s famous historical landmarks and tourist spots. After that, Peter guided me to the alleys and neighborhoods of HCMC to taste some of the local food and delicacies. Peter has a great personality and very knowledgeable; I enjoyed our discussion on Vietnam’s history and culture as we walked. And speaking of walking, Peter taught me something a first-time traveller would find very useful: how to cross the street like a true local (It involves walking at a steady pace with no sudden movements. Don’t be scared as traffic will just move around to avoid you). Overall, it was a most wonderful experience and definitely made my stay in HCMC quite memorable. Kevin’s tours are highly recommended and I would definitely book some of his other tours when I go back to HCMC.

3 Tours in Saigon

I recently had the pleasure of taking three tours with Kevin's Tour Teams, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the cooking class to the city highlights and night bike tour, each experience was well-organized and enjoyable. The guides were absolutely fantastic! They not only shared insightful information about Saigon’s history and culture but also made the tours feel personal and engaging. I loved how they tailored the experience to my needs, especially considering my food allergies. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests’ experiences
