Frequently asked questions

Can you pick up at the cruise ship gangway instead of the port gate?

Yes, there is an additional fee required by the port authority, which is $30 per guest, in addition to the tour price. To apply for the pick-up permit from the cruise ship gangway, we will need a scan of your passport, the details of your port of call, and your tour date. Most cruise ships provide shuttle buses that run from the gangway to the port gate every 15 to 30 minutes, so you can take the shuttle bus to the port gate.

How many passengers can join the tour?

Each coach has a maximum of 18 guests, allowing our tour guide to provide personalized attention and increase interaction by answering questions during the tour.

Do you serve cold water during the tour?

We will provide unlimited cold water and wet wipes during the tour. Just inform our tour guide, and you will be served—there's no limit on the amount of water you can drink.

If we don't see the guide & driver, do you have a number that we can call?

Once you successfully book your tour, you will receive a hotline number that is available 24/7. You can call this number if you do not see the guide or driver when you arrive at the port gate.

Is tipping included in the tour price?

Tipping is not included in the price of the tour. If you are satisfied with our services, please consider tipping your tour guide and driver at the end of the trip.

I highly recommend this unforgettable excursion for cruise ship passengers looking to craft their own adventure through a personalized to-do and to-see list. It’s an opportunity to escape the crowds, immerse yourself in the local culture, and savor every moment without the constraints of a traditional bus tour. Our guide, Phong, and our driver, Sam, were delightful, patient, and kind, ensuring that my family made the most of our time together. From the moment we stepped into the van, they transformed our journey into an extraordinary experience. We uncovered hidden gems that typical tours overlook, dined like locals thanks to Phong's keen selections, and connected with the community along the way. This excursion was truly exceptional, powered by an incredible guide and driver.
