We did a tour with Xuan - the best guide we ever encountered. He picked us from the port and we had a great time in Ho Chi Minh City. Total journey and tour was 9 hours The van we used was very comfortable with bottled drinking water and free WIFI. He took us to Thien Hau temple, the War Remnants Museum, the General Post Office, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the former CIA headquarters and the big square opposite the City Hall. We also took the 45 minutes trishaw ride. We highly recommend this ride. Actually, we didn't visit any shops for shopping, which was good. Xuan was just lovely and cheerful. He was so kind to our little children and they warmed up to him easily.

Last year, my family and I booked a private tour with a licensed tour guide in Saigon. He picked us from Phu My port and we had 8 hours to explore Saigon. The price was reasonable which included a comfortable van, entrance fees and the tour guide fees. We visited many places but what we found great was the 45 minutes trishaw ride. It was an adventure! The tour guide really knew so much about the city, the culture, and the people. He was very entertaining, friendly and helpful. He brought us back to the port on time. You will enjoy your time with him. This is the link to the shore excursion on his website: http://www.tourwithxuan.com/hcmc-tour.html
