Good for handicapped

We called up pham last minute to book a tour and he was very accommodating and suggested which tour would be best that didn't require too much walking for my aunt's sake. We ended up on the cultural tour by an air conditioned van. Pham was very funny and insightful on the locations we visited. I throuroughly enjoyed the back stories told at the orphanage and at the ancient house. The orphanage was beautiful and Pham was very polite enough to take picture of me and my family. He asked us about lunch and we preferred something authentic he suggested a restaurant away from the river due to the weekend rush and it turned out great! The resort he took us to eat was the best food we had in Vietnam and it was calm and beautiful. Also nice that they had Wi-Fi. The food was abundant and cost was covered with the tour. Our morning and afternoon was definitely not boring and if I went into detail about all that was done you would be reading a book. Overall I would definitely recommend the tour with pham and also suggest that if something is wrong or if you have a preference, just tell him.

Dung Pham for President

We would recommend Dung Pham's tour as a superior alternative to the cruise line excursions. We took this tour as part of our Sun Princess trip in April 2014. Dung understands what a good tour operation needs. He was interesting, enthusiastic, pleasant and full of anecdotes and humour. We were able to see a large number of small industries and have a first hand appreciation for the way people live in Nha Trang, including seeing the inside of a very modest house. Just do this tour - you won't regret it. Part of the tour involves visiting a very well run orphanage. If you have a bag or two of clothes your children have outgrown, this would be an excellent opportunity to give them directly to the people who need them. At no point on this tour were we asked for money, but we did have the opportunity to gift money or purchase woven mats, conical hats etc. Excellent.
