Authentic Food Experience with Locals - English speaking tour guides who tell you about the meals as you eat the food, teach about the culture, all while helping you understand Vietnamese phrases. You will learn about the culture and see the sights from the locals perspective. Amazing dishes with a variety of accommodations. Overall I would do it again!

Zero Food Tour with Vi - It was really fun and I enjoyed a lot. We ate a lot of food and toured around HCM. Everyone was kind and helpful. Will definitely book a tour with them again (breakfast for next time) when I go back on December or Feb next year :)

Perfect food tour with friendly and knowledgeable guides - We had an incredible experience on the food tour with Star and Kurt as our guides. Both were extremely friendly, knowledgable, and took us to some amazing places to eat. Would definitely recommend if you’d like to go to some authentic food spots that aren’t tourist traps, and see the real side of Saigon.

"Happy" tour is an understatement. It was INCREDIBLE. - Happy and his company have been some of the best people we ever met. We learned a lot about Vietnam's history during the Cu Chi Tunnels tour, ate some of the best food during the zero tourist food tour (yes, we really did not encounter any tourists), and the Mekong River rustic tour was one of the most enjoyable tour we did. We definitely got what we paid for! Will definitely book again when I get back to Saigon.

Best way to experience Saigon! - We did the night food tour yesterday with our lovely guides Star and Vii and we had an absolute ball!! The food we tried was truely local, taking us to areas we would never have gone by ourselves as tourists. The tour is so well organised - perfectly portioned and timed with a sprinkling of stories and with some breathtaking views of Saigon on the bikes of our skilled guides. A must try whilst in Saigon!!

TEN STARS - I did the food tour solo with Saigon Happy Tours. My guide was Helen. The whole experience was exquisite. I feel I really got to experience the city. The food was amazing and really off the beaten track. I've been in Asia for over 2 months and this tour was the highlight for me so far. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it!
