jacketwatch Posted July 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hello guys: We are scheduled to be on the Sapphire Princess for a cruise out of Singapore 2/24/16. Can you get private tours from local operators at the docks for Brunei, HCMC, Nha Trang and Sihanoukville? We prefer private and want to tailor it our selves. Thank you.

Very pleased. Just want to say he is very strong in providing info. especially on VN war and politics or society whose some parts you will find in a contrast with what you hear from guides in North VN. He always says, you are not here in VN everyday; so, listen to me, to them in the War Remnants museum and then, back home, draw out your conclusion.

Melba51 Posted July 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I prefer to prebook tours after researching online. I also used Zoom in Saigon and highly recommend his professional service. In Brunei I used and recommend Intrepid tours http://www.bruneibay.net/bruneicruiseships/index.html/. I've found that with both these tour operators, tours can be customised to your preferences.

Earl Rosebery Posted July 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2015 For Sihanoukville, contact the Don Bosco Hotel School http://donboscohotelschool.com They provided a van and guide for 12 of us off Nautica. Tour includes many of the same sites as the ships tours plus a delicious lunch at the school. Highly recommended. Sihanoukville is in an impoverished area of an impoverished country. You mustn't expect luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melba51 Posted July 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I can also recommend Don Bosco Hotel school. We had a memorable Xmas day tour and lunch in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calisense Posted July 22, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I will use Zoom for my friends this August. Good first impression is he replies promtly, just after 2 minutes, giving me sense of safety, and all details come right in the day. His website and facebook have lots of photos on places of interest and daily life in Vietnam. For Xmas and Tet lunar new year in VN he posted hundreds of photos in which those on flowers I really appreciate.

Just on recent history and on VN war history Zoom can tell you every year's events and months, dates of the events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
