This was an excellent introduction to Saigon, which took about four hours
Our driver and our guide were both very helpful, friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable
Our only problem was that we had booked and paid for the trip from Phu My port - which would have made it around a nine hour venture – but our ship actually docked in Saigon city, cutting out the need to travel the two hours from and to Phu My.
This was not the tour organisers his fault but it did mean that we paid for four hours of travel never took place
The lesson learned is to make sure that you know exactly where your ship is going to dock! While many cruise ships dock at Phu My, ours was small enough to get right up into the city.
Fortunately, for us, the organisers of the trip were extremely helpful and responded quickly when our arrangements changed
We would happily recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the key sights in Saigon.
