Product Manager
I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I got to grow up in a Vietnam when the internet wasn't a thing. Its sound, its movement, its smell, its taste. I never forget. Call me old school but I held on to those nostalgic memories and often chase them.
Creating Saigon Happy Tour was my way of chasing the pass. I make all my experience chasing those older settings, though they are changing, making these tours help it last abit longer.

"My partner and I did the one day Mekong Delta tour with Stag. Amazing is an understatement. Stag is incredibly funny and personable; it’s as though you’ve been friends with him your entire life. The experience felt super genuine from the time we got on the bus to the time we were dropped off. It was a small group with zero other tourists, which was so nice as it felt as though we had the entire Delta to ourselves. Highly recommend this tour, but especially doing a tour with Stag."

MEI MEI
Product Manager
My wife, Mei, is the embodiment of dedication. When many would never see a way to make it work, she always will. Her upbringing is something young Vietnamese people can learn from. Born into a poor family, her parents arrive in Saigon without a dime to their name. They had to juggle multiple jobs while also running a business. From a young age, Mei was raised with the discipline to be “the perfect daughter.” Even though her childhood was difficult, she always dreamed of owning beautiful dresses and continued nurturing her gentle, feminine side because she believed every girl deserved to look and feel her best.
Mei’s academic achievements is not be overlooked. She earned admission to some of the best middle-school and highschool. At the age of 17, she started her own clothing business. Most impressively, she paid her university tuition entirely by herself—a feat that no one I knew had ever accomplished. My wife, Mei, taught me that it is never too early to become successful. Everything can be different the moment you starts. The only thing Mei is not too good is words which is why she has me to write this for her, hehe.

KYLE
Office Manager
"Our Cu Chi Tunnels tour was made truly memorable by our guide, Kyle. From the moment we met him, his warm and engaging personality stood out. He had a natural way of keeping everyone interested, blending humor with meaningful storytelling. He explained the historical context of the war clearly and thoughtfully, and we especially appreciated how he balanced light moments with a respectful tone when discussing the more emotional parts of history. His passion and knowledge really brought the experience to life."

DANIEL
Product Manager
"We joined the Rustic Mekong Delta Tour with our guide Daniel, which offered a completely different but equally meaningful experience. Daniel was incredibly friendly and accommodating from the start, making us feel at ease right away. During the journey, he shared insightful stories about local livelihoods, daily routines, and even the history of durian farms and homes. It was fascinating to learn how people live and sustain themselves in the countryside."

"Our guide was Leo, and the whole experience was truly magnificent. From start to finish, Leo took great care of us. His personality really clicked with ours—it felt like a fun day with an old friend. He provided excellent commentary throughout the entire tour. We visited many places, but it never felt rushed. Whenever we’re back in Ho Chi Minh City, we’re definitely coming back for more!'

Founder & CEO
"My wife and I took a tour with Star on the no tourist food tour and it was honestly one of the best tours we've taken hands down. She made us feel comfortable with our first times being on the motorbike. Star and her team were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining. The tour was planned out very well, explaining the history of Saigon, the food that we were eating, and fun tidbits about themselves. You could tell that the guides were genuinely excited about the tour. All in all, a fantastic experience and would not hesitate to take another tour with them again."

SNOW
Product Manager
"Perfect food tour — thanks Snow!
Snow was an absolutely fantastic food tour guide for my wife and I — we couldn’t be happier we booked a food tour with Happy Tours.
Snow had lots of fun stories, was really knowledgeable and answered a crazy number of questions about the food we were trying and life in Vietnam.
If we came back to HCMC we would book another tour with Happy Tours, and would definitely recommend them and Snow to friends/family. They deserve their perfect five star rating!"

Product Manager
"I genuinely felt like I got to experience little pockets of Saigon that I would never have stumbled upon on my own, and that made the whole evening super cool. Helen my guide , is a gem - kind, informative, and she has this really sincere, positive energy and made me feel super comfortable. The food was delicious, but I think my favourite part was the sense of discovery and all the stories that came with it.
We love you Helen!"

"My boyfriend and I were picked up outside our hotel by our tour guide Phi and Dan. Specially, my drive - Phi Phi were very safe drivers and always checked in to see if we were comfortable and if the speed was ok. We chatted a lot and they were so funny and nice! We got to learn a lot about the city as we drove so it was like a city tour in addition to a food tour!
Happy's tour was easily the highlight of our stay in Vietnam and we can't wait to go back and do a different tour. We've even recommended it to all of our friends incase they ever visit. Thank you for the amazing tour!"

"I had the best time on the Saigon Happy food tour tonight! Mighty was absolute stars, so warm, funny and full of local knowledge. Even though the traffic was wild, I felt completely safe riding with them, and honestly, zipping through the streets was half the fun. The food? Incredible. We explored different districts, tasting dishes locals love, many of which I’d never tried before—and every single one was delicious. And I can’t Mighty enough for making it unforgettable! The best way to explore HCM is on scooter at night !!"

JAMES
Product Manager
"I had the absolute best time on the Happy Food Tour in Saigon! Stag and especially my driver James were phenomenal guides—warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the evening with friends who just happen to know all the hidden food gems in the city. Every stop introduced us to something new and delicious, from tiny street-side grills to family-run eateries tucked inside neighborhoods I never would have found on my own. They shared stories about the food, the people, and the culture that made each bite even more meaningful.
I left the night full, happy, and already wanting to do it again. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a true taste of Saigon. James made it unforgettable! 🌟"
