Fun and interesting river cruise, a good way to see some Vietnamese Countryside - The tour included a visit to a Hindu temple, a Buddhist Pagoda, a sedge weaving place, lunch and a boat cruise, along with a tuk tuk ride and a cart ride. We all had a lot of fun. The tour was from 9.30 to 2.30 and packed a lot in. My parents (70ish) and children (under 5) managed it all but it was a little tricky getting in and out of the boat at times. All in all we would recommend this trip. Pham was a great guide.

Excellent tour - We only had one day left in Nha Trang and after reading reviews on Tripadvisor I wanted to do the river cruise cultural tour. Mr Pham said they couldn't do it the next day but could fit us in on Monday, but when I said we were leaving then he organised the tour with our fantastic guide Danny, and it was just for us, a personal tour. Loverly boat ride then into a village to see the locals weaving, and the market etc. upon a Tuk Tuk, Danny was excellent, spoke fantastic English and was very knowledgable and spoke to us about a lot of Vietnamese culture and how they live. We had the most fantastic lunch at a restaurant on the river, about 6 dishes just for us. It was beautiful. Then back to the boat with a stop to have a local lady cut us a coconut each to drink while relaxing next to the river. Back on the boat and into the city to a coffee shop for a drink and then delivered back to the hotel. Thank you so much Danny you are amazing and thank you Pham tours, I would definitely recommend them.

Very great tour! - My husband and I along with 8 other people had the pleasure of touring Nha Trang in Vietnam. The tour guide was great: she spoke English well and knew a lot of cultural history which helped with our appreciation. Everything was wonderful: the huge Buddha, the cottage arts (noodles, hats, mats), the river cruise, lunch, the temple, etc. It was nice to be in a small group and have a lot of individual attention. And, last but not least, the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this tour.

Pleasant surprises the entire trip - This was our first time trying a non Holland excursion. It turned out so remarkably good, that I won't hesitate to try others. We were warmly greeted at the designated spot. The van was clean. Our guide was personable. Once she realized that we n th back struggled to hear her, she corrected it and we didn't miss a nuance. The weaving stop was delightful and they encouraged us to try our hand at weaving. Had we not asked about buying the woven items, we'd not known to do so, I mean there was never a time on the trip where I felt forced into buying anything. What a relief. I did buy many items along the way, but not because of pressure. Our driver safely navigated the crowded streets. Because our ship encountered problems, we were very late starting so had to skip the conical hat making. They kindly adapted for us. The river ride in the small Wooden boat was an insider look at the area. But the most amazing part was lunch. Who knew that climbing those steep jumbled steps from river to land would reveal a marvelous meal. The place looks pretty much like a dive, but the food is wonderful to taste and displayed in artful beauty. I got to try a local beer and eat my fill of all the foods. A gentle rain never once bothered is under the colorful tarps. If you can't eat fish or mushrooms, you might bring a snack, although there is lots of white rice. We learned lots about the area throughout the tour. The orphanage would have been better if we could interact with children or if we could have brought things to donate. Maybe look thorough what you've brought along the trip that you can do without and donate that. I'd recommend Pham and his tours to anyone.

Pham Tours is the only Choice You Need In Nha Trang - Did my first tour with Pham Tours early last year, and have repeated the tour and the same results. Pham Tours are great, the best tours I have done in Vietnam. Did the tour of the Sun Princess Cruise Ship. Pham himself is always waiting outside the port gate to make sure everything goes great. This last trip we had 20 people so Pham arranged two vans for us. His vans hold 15 people but he cares about comfort so only 10 guests each. Really great tour through the city some shopping stops and then a lovey boat ride on the river, a great lunch is provided and again Pham came to the lunch to check and make sure everything went well. You will not leave lunch hungry chicken pork shrimp rice spring rolls vegetables and drinks. After lunch touring through the countryside and stops with local craft people. Then dropped back at the port to board the tender back to the ship. Everyone on this tour enjoyed the tour and said they would do it again. I'm looking forward to seeing the best tour operator in Vietnam again when I return in March. prefect tour highly recommend Pham Tours

Great day out!! - We wanted to see a bit more of Nha Trang than you would normally see. Pham's Tour seemed to suit what we were looking for and didn't disappoint. Pham was a great host and a lot of fun. The tour was well organised and different from anything we had done here before. The kids loved it too. The lunch was beautiful and getting around in the boat and buggy was good fun. Pham modified the tour slightly as we had been to the temple which was good of him. We would highly recommend this tour if you want to do something and see something a bit different while in Nha Trang. Thankyou for the great day.
