Hello! I am Henry, a licensed guide specializing in private shore excursions for cruise passengers. I have worked with Toursbylocals since 2014, dedicated to bringing customers exceptional experience, personalised service, and safety. I focus strongly on private, one-day experiences for cruise guests who want to make the most of their limited time ashore. I design my tours carefully around ship schedules, monitor arrival times, and always ensure a safe, relaxed return to port well before all-aboard time. Outside of guiding, I enjoy street food, walking, history, religion... I genuinely enjoy meeting travelers from different backgrounds and helping them feel comfortable exploring Vietnam, even if they only have one day ashore.

Overview of your Ho Chi Minh City tour

This private shore excursion offers seamless pick-up and drop-off right at the dockside, just steps from your cruise ship. Enjoy a relaxed and well-balanced experience in Vung Tau, where coastal scenery, cultural landmarks, and authentic local life come together. Travel comfortably beyond the city to quieter rural areas, visit serene spiritual sites, and discover elegant colonial architecture overlooking the sea. Along the way, the day remains flexible, with optional stops for Vietnamese coffee, local specialties, or a stroll through a local market if you wish. Designed for small private groups, this thoughtfully curated shore day emphasizes comfort, authenticity, and a guaranteed return to your ship.

Your Ho Chi Minh City tour itinerary

I will meet you at the dockside with a personalized sign - no walking or waiting for crowded shuttle - and escort you to your private vehicle reserved exclusively for your small group. Begin with a scenic drive into the countryside, stopping at the beautiful Song Vinh Church before continuing through the peaceful An Nhut rice paddy fields for relaxed photo moments. In An Ngai Rice Paper Village, enjoy a personal cultural experience as you observe—and if you wish, try—the traditional art of rice paper making. Continue to the serene hillside setting of Chan Tien Shrine and the nearby Chau Hung Buddhist Ancient Temple, where calm surroundings offer insight into local spiritual life. Return to the coast for a leisurely lunch in Vung Tau, followed by visits to the iconic Statue of Jesus Christ, the elegant White Palace, and the historic Tam Thang Monument. A gentle drive along Thuy Van Beach completes this intimate shore excursion before a comfortable return to the dock, well ahead of your ship’s departure.
