A complete sensory experience of Saigon! - From the moment Starlight got us off and racing on the scooter, this tour was a full sensory experience. Of course, you will try some of the best food you may ever eat in your life, but you will also be immersed in the smells, sounds and sights of Saigon. If you have the good fortune to have Star as your guide you will are in for one of the best tours one could hope for. Thank you Star. This is more than ‘just a tour’, it is a muti-sensory immersion! You will not forget it. Highly recommend.

Best experience in Vietnam so far - I have been on a few food tours both in Vietnam and elsewhere in the world (Morroco, India and South Africa) and thought I was pretty clear on the format. This was something different. Happy is one of the funniest, most knowledgeable and kindest guides I have ever met. He is passionate about food and has clearly done a lot of research and work to make this tour what it is today - I'm a foodie and was bowled over by his knowledge. His expertise of Saigon street food and flexibility to adapt the tour to my tastes meant that the morning spent with him was one of my best experiences of Vietnam. I've already been here a month traveling north to south so I do not say that lightly! In addition, I had left a bag with some valuables in dalat. He personally co-ordinated a courier to get my items sent to Saigon and went with me the following morning to pick them up. He deserves far more than the 5 stars on offer here! Would thoroughly recommend - more than anything else in Vietnam this was worth every penny.

Not to be missed: Regional Food Specialties on a Scooter with Happy. - My wife is a foody and doesn't walk easily . I am close to 69 years and a 100kg. But we were both ready for a new adventure and booked a foody scooter trip of 4 hours with Happy & Speedy. It was AMAZING! I am from a small village in New Zealand and to experience the Saigon traffic on the back of a scooter is SUCH an experience. I felt safe and balanced on the bike at all time. The food was above excellent. Happy and his team really introduced us to an amazing culiary experience. He has selected regional food specialties. Happy also took us to his home where he lives with his parents and siblings, which added another cultural aspect to the tour. Last but not least; we spend 20 days in SE Asia and Happy's English was the best I heard in those 20 days. Highy recommended.

TooooooO GooooD To Be True - Happy...Happy. My experience of a life time. I was with my family consisting of my wife and my 16 year old son. It didn't feel like we are going on a conducted tour. It felt like a family trip. Happy and his team was ToooooO GoooooD. He took us to all least touristy places where you where able to explore the food which local people eat. I will be recommending him for my friends and families who will be visiting Vietnam. As a person from living in Kerala (A Southern State Of India) I really enjoyed the trip. All the best Happy and Team. Keep up the excellent work your are doing. God Bless. Bejo J Thattil Thrissur District Kerala State India

Luxuriously - It was luxurious. The team of guys who drove us around were simply cool! They put you on a moped and you maneuver through the streets in search of local delicacies! The food is very tasty! We ourselves have never ordered this anywhere!

Amazing foodie experience - What a great time! Honestly some of my best memories from my trip are the ones from the tour. I am a huge foodie and everything was so delicious and affordable! the guides showed me the most authentic Vietnam: food, they are friendly and welcoming. Their English skills are perfect so it’s also very easy to communicate. If you are vegetarian or vegan they will accommodate everything to your needs. I highly recommend this tour and any other tour with their company.
