If value and a great tour experience are important considerations, then you cannot go wrong with Scooter. The Route 1 itinerary includes all of the usual Ho Chi Minh City sites. Since this is a private tour, you can add or subtract from the itinerary, keeping in mind time constraints for returning to your cruise ship. Most importantly, they provide a driver to pick you up and return you to Phu My if you arrive by cruise ship. Our licensed tour guide, Hang(Catherine) was very engaging and knowledgeable. Throughout the tour, Catherine provided the history behind all the sites we visited. Our tour was enhanced by having a fantastic lunch which was included. We highly recommend Catherine and Scooter for this all-inclusive tour. You won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful experience with Hang. First of all the communication was great - Hang even sent us a photo of where to meet and kept us notified of each step. We were so impressed by her English skills and sweet demeanor. Hang asked us what we would like to see and we told her “whatever she would want to show a friend who was visiting her the first time and had only one day.” She did not disappoint! We were immersed in the city’s culture for an entire day - wonderful sights, a walk through a local market, a lesson in making Vietnamese coffee and a special lunch. It was truly a memorable day made even more special by the little extras Hang provided along with her warm personality. Take a tour with her and you will be blessed!

Our cruise arrives at Phu My port, and getting from there to Ho Chi Minh City can be both challenging and costly. Fortunately, our family discovered Scooter Saigon Tour, which not only picked us up directly from the harbor but also provided a customized tour to HCMC based on our preferences. The driver was exceptionally friendly, the vehicle was clean and spacious, and the overall cost of the tour turned out to be budget-friendly for our family.

We were looking for a way from the port to the city for our stay during a cruise in Ho Chi Minh City and finally booked this provider. It was great. Everything worked out. Good price for the round trip. Very good communication via WhatsApp before the start of the trip and during the stay in English. Our driver was on time and drove very safely. Communication with him was possible via Google Translate because we had not booked an English-speaking driver.
We were able to choose the drop-off point in the city. When we asked for a return trip, the driver was there in less than 10 minutes and brought us safely back to the port.

Hi Saigon Scooter, thank you so much for the 28 seater Limousine bus and providing us with a caring, accomodating and professional driver. The bus was comfortable, air conditioned and spacious right down to the back. We had an awesome time today and very much appreciated your assistance from the start to the end. Your payment system is secure and reliable and your communication via imessage, email and verbally was very good and accurate. We appreciate you being able to find the ships port and to take us back home safely! We also appreciate the added touch of sending an escort/agent to check on our progress during our trip, so it felt like you were looking after us during the day. Thank you so much!!

The minibus was waiting for us at the cruise port when we left the ship. Our driver was friendly and pleasant and we felt very safe on the journey to the city to meet our guide, Castle. Castle was very polite and knowledgeable, he took us to the places we wanted to see in the city and he showed us so much more. We visited the local city sites, drank Vietnamese coffee in the oldest coffee shop in the city and sampled the local cuisine. We had a fabulous day out and were very happy with the service provided. We would definitely recommend Scooter Saigon Tours and their guide Castle.

I Highly recommend the services of Saigon Scooter Tour. We arrived with Celebrity cruise in Phu My port and they offered the return trip taxi and city guide tour. The communication by text with the company and the guide was very detailed, prompt and polite. Driver showed up way in advance and the SUV was clean and comfortable.
Linh, our city guide, was lovely, outgoing and customize our tour to our needs.
Really felt like VIP and the experience exceeded my expectations.

Had a wonderful experience visiting Saigon especially with our tour guide Hang. She was awesome- listened to what we wanted to see and adjusted schedule accordingly. We were disappointed not to have enough time to see the CuChi tunnels but Hang told us all about and then showed us pictures & video.

We had a really informative, funny and just great day in Saigon (HCMC) with our awesome guide, Lan Anh. Lan is such a nice person and always tried to show us these parts of Saigon we wanted to see and were mostly interested in. We would absolutely recommend this tour and, of course, recommend Lan. She also told us a lot about her own (everyday) life and experiences in Vietnam which was very interesting for us. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙂
All the best,

We had a round trip transfer arranged from Phu My Port to Ho Chi Minh City and back.
They always replied very quickly to our questions.
We didn't know the meeting point so we contacted them and they told us right away.
The driver was not an English speaker either, but he used the app to check for us.
Thanks to them we had a great time in Ho Chi Minh City.
We would request them again next time.
Thank you very much.
