We were supposed to be picked up around 8:30. The operator did not know what port we were going to dock at - which was fair since the cruise did not know until the night before. We got them the info and they said they would get there at 9 am. We had to wait at the entrance of the port because they did not have access to the port. The driver did not get there until 10:30 am so we were waiting for 1 1/2 hours with no comfortable place to wait. I would recommend in the future they tell you wait on the ship and text when the driver gets there. The traffic was bad but not too awful going to the tunnels. The problem was we picked up the guide along the way so we had no description of Ho Chi Minh City as we were driving through it. Apparently the operator had to call the guide at the last minute to do the tour. The tunnels themselves were great as was the guide and driver. Because of the late time, we did not get to tour the city at all and the traffic on the way back was awful. Luckily we were overnighting in Ho Chi Minh City so we did not have to worry about meeting our trip back. So we highly recommend that the operator contact guests prior to get the port information as soon as it is available and try to get there early or at least suggest the guests wait on board until the driver gets and they can text (it is a short walk from the ship to the gate).
