Just a question for those of you that have done the tour with Xian. I have been in touch with him for our upcoming Asia cruise and the tour sounds great. I’m just a bit worried about it not being a ship tour and making sure we make it back to the ship on time. We dock at Phu My which is a fair distance from Ho Chi Minh City. Should I be worried or has your experience been that he is very reliable? Thanks

Hi

We have just completed a tour with Xuan. We docked at Phu My and it was absolutely no issue.

I am a huge fan of Xuan, I previously did a tour of Cui Chi in June of this year with a group of friends and last week toured again with Xuan and my husband around HCM city .... the trickshaw ride was a real highlight. Trust me you will not be disappointed he is a wonderful young man and you will learn a lot about Vietnam culture, history and yummy food on your tour. I can’t say enough good things about him :)

I can't imagine that the entry fees to Port Arthur would be included in the cruise fare since there would be passengers who would choose not to get off the ship for whatever reason. (What ship are you cruising on?)

 

I don't see any reason for doing a ship's excursion of the Port Arthur site if you have transportation there. It's super-easy to tour on your own.

 

How long are you at Port Arthur? You should allow at least 4 to 6 hours to see it properly.

Hi

So if we are tendering at Port Arthur we would be able to walk there comfortably ?

Thanks

Hi

One of the Ports on our cruise in October is Port Arthur. Is it possible to walk to the Historic Site from there or will we need transport.

Thanks
