Highly Recommend!!
I booked this tour months before our cruise and was very satisfied with our tour. We had a driver and a tour guide, which I thought was great. The company understood that we needed an English speaking person and when they didn’t have an English speaking driver, they made sure to find us an English speaking guide. Mae was an outstanding guide and led us on walking tours throughout the city and really gave us a taste of life in Vietnam. Again, we did not feel rushed at all, even though we were over two hours away from our cruise ship, they made sure that we were back in plenty of time to board all the while, making sure we saw all of the highlights of Ho Chi Minh City.

Very impressed with a day sightseeing in Saigon with Khang
We were delighted to have Khang as our guide for this personal tour of HCMC - the pickup at the port was seamless, he was at all times professional, well-informed, thoughtful & kind. As it was a Sunday our drive into central HCMC was relatively easy, crowds not too bad even though it was quite hot out & about. We really enjoyed our visit to the pagoda, gardens & site seeing around the city. Lunch at a local Vietnamese restaurant was very tasty & we enjoyed the vibrancy of the markets. The visit to the War Remnants was very sobering but well done. Our driver was excellent & the vehicle very comfortable. Thanks again Khang for a memorable visit to Saigon.

5. Fantastic Cruise Excursion with a Lovely Guide
We visited Ho Chi Minh City from our cruise port on a private tour and it was a fantastic introduction to Vietnam. Our guide, May, was absolutely lovely – warm, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about sharing her country with us. Our driver was also excellent, navigating the famously busy streets with ease. During the tour we visited the Tourist Village, the War Remnants Museum, the old post office and Notre Dame Cathedral. Each stop gave a different perspective on the city and its history, and the War Remnants Museum in particular was very powerful and thought-provoking. We also had a lovely and tasty traditional meal in a local restaurant. Ho Chi Minh City itself is fascinating – energetic, colourful and incredibly lively. The sheer number of motorbikes on the roads is something you have to see to believe! Despite the traffic, everything seemed to move in an organised chaos that was amazing to watch. Overall it was a really enjoyable and insightful day and Vietnam left a strong impression on us.

Ho chi min tour trophy my port
Our guide JP was a good and considerate guide. He treated us like family and gave us the flexibility to adjust our itinerary based on our taste and time constraint. Such is the advantage of being on an independent tour instead of being on the cruise ship’s excursion. Our lunch was included at a local restaurant which included fried spring rolls. When I mentioned that I avoid fried food, JP managed to have the restaurant substitute fresh mango salad instead. Delicious. Our driver took us back to the port on time and even bought us to fresh coconut from a roadside vendor on d way to the port. It was a treat. Thanks to JP and our driver.

An exciting day in Saigon
Had an amazing time exploring Saigon with our charismatic guide Binh and driver Minh. The drive felt like mister toads wild ride but we felt safe the whole time. Something about Saigon traffic patterns that confounds me! The private tour was for just the two of us so we liked not being rushed by anyone and getting an accurate historical portrait of what we were looking at. The war museum felt like partial propaganda the commies would throw at their people for the atrocities they commit, but it was easy to see through that. More than anything the architecture of the city was the most compelling part. We recommend this tour to anyone passing through on a cruise or otherwise!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port cost?
+
Prices start at $128 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amazing Shore Excursion: Ho Chi Minh City Tour from PHU MY Port start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
