Review Body: The tour was great and exactly what was advertised and what I was also looking for. The spot was indeed not very crowded or overflowing with tourists, but still had everything you'd want from a visit to the Cu Chi tunnels, as in getting to experience to crawl through and enter a couple of these, albeit nowadays enlarged, tunnels. In contrast to the southern location, this one also has a memorial for many fallen Liberation Front soldiers. Our guide Kyle was really great and very knowledgeable about the place and the history. He told great stories, had a lot of information to share with us and was able to answer all of our questions. The lunch we got after was very delicious. All-in-all a great tour.

Review Body: The Cu Chi tunnels with Kyle was a real fun experience. Kyle is an absolute joker and the tour was like no other I’ve experienced so far. The journey to the tunnels is about 2 hours, but flew by thanks to the entertainment and conversation Kyle provided. Kyle is more than happy to answer any question you have about Vietnam, or just have a chit chat in general about pretty much anything (just don’t get him started on Homelander). On top of this Kyle is really knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Vietnam and gives great insight. The tunnels and ingenuity behind them are also impressive (if a bit claustrophobic). I recommend you wear sportswear as it gets sweaty down there.

Review Body: We joined Happy for the Cu Chi tunnels tour, it was one of the highlights of our one month in Vietnam! He is extremely knowledgeable, his English is impeccable, he is soooooo fun, extremely logical in his explanations and made us understand a lot of the history of Vietnam. We were very impressed by everything we experienced that that and we are grateful that we got to learn so much of the culture and history of Vietnam from such a smart and passionate person like Happy!

Review Body: We did the Cu chi tunnel tour with Kyle, probably one of the best most informative guides we have come across! So so friendly, very energetic and so full of information, we had such a great time with Kyle. He even serenaded us with wartime songs (and the odd Bruno Mars song!), and had some interesting insights to share from the perspective of someone who has trained in the Vietnam Army. Really enjoyed this tour!!

Review Body: This tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels was very informative. Our guide, Kyle, spoke excellent English and took excellent care of our group throughout the visit. There were several school groups there the day of our visit - it was great to interact with the kids. This is definetly the locals location for the Cu Chi Tunnels so we appreciated being there instead of the typical tourist location. Highly recommend.

Review Body: I did the Cu Chi Tunnel Experience with Kyle, and it was so fun and educational. Kyle was an amazing host. I learned a lot from him, and he was just very easy to get along with. The tunnels themselves were very cool, and I grew such an appreciation for the guerilla fighters and what they were able to build. The food was also delicious. Very pleased with my experience. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

He's not only knowledegable, but but also funny, engaging, and anything but your average tour guide. Super interesting tour, amazing lunch, no tourist trap spots. Kyle even joined the group later in the evening for drinner and drinks. Just go!

Review Body: Kyle was a very friendly and informative guide as he provided a wealth of knowledge on the history of the tunnels, the war, and history of Vietnam in general. He also showed off his singing talents as we made our way through the tunnels and snack time. He was inquisitive and respectful of our views and perspectives as an American family.

Review Body: We let the company know in advance that one member of our group was 80 years old. Unfortunately, the vehicle they arranged was not suitable for four travelers. My 80-year-old father and I were seated in a small back seat, better suited to children, for a drive of over two hours, which made the journey quite uncomfortable and difficult for him. Our guide was energetic and very friendly. However, his commentary often felt more one-sided than informative, and we would have appreciated more balanced explanations. Regarding the food, the portions were quite small, and we were offered only two options without much effort to find something that suited us. At this point, we would not recommend this tour. That said, we hope the company takes this feedback on board, particularly regarding vehicle arrangements for older travelers and meal options, as these improvements could make a real difference for future guests.

Review Body: I’d you want the full Saigon experience, then you definitely need to take this tour with either Happy or Helen. When they say ‘Zero Tourist’ and ‘adventure’ they mean just that. We hit a lot of really great food that you just wouldn’t know to go to on your own. Each place has a special story associated with it. I won’t spoil those stories but they sure do make the whole thing fun. You are shuttled around on the back of a motorbike which is great fun in and of itself. And if you’re lucky you’ll get to go so some really interesting places outside metro Saigon which I am sure no other guide goes to. No spoilers. Definitely worth doing and highly recommended.

Review Body: I’ve literally done this food tour 3x — once solo, and then have taken multiple friends and recommended it to everyone I know. Have been on food tours all over the world and My My and Happy’s tour is the best by far!! The guides are so fun and knowledgeable, it feels like you’re just hanging out with friends. The tour is so expansive and takes you to far flung parts of Saigon that you would never know to venture to otherwise — truly zero tourists. And of course, the food is amazing! It’s more than just a food tour — it’s a comprehensive introduction to one of the world’s most exciting and interesting cities. DO THIS TOUR!! Xx

Review Body: Amazing tour. We took our kids 12 and 17 and it was just so fun to experience the hospitality of the people and guides, the amazing food offerings which are specially tailored to your group and to experience the traffic and night lights of Saigon. Visiting done of the many districts and learning about the distinct characters of each and some great local stories was so enlightening. Our guide Star was incredible! What a personality with so much love for her city and sense of humour. It is must do and we will do it again when we come back. There is no tour like this.

Review Body: This was truly my favorite experience in HCMC! I cannot recommend this tour enough. Amazing food, people, and experience! Everything we ate was mind blowing, and it truly felt like we were seeing a side of Saigon that we never would have otherwise. We had such great conversations with our guides, and felt completely comfortable with them the whole time. If you’re trying to figure out if this is the right tour for you to book, then I can confidently tell you it is. You can stop looking around for other tours and book this now!

Review Body: We had such a lovely time with Daniel on the Mekong Delta tour! He was very knowledgeable about the history and agriculture of Mekong Delta, and he made our experience so memorable. We had a small group of 6, and got to know eachother over cooking and eating in a lovely family home. The boat rides & motorbike tour were a lot of fun, it really felt like we were able to see and do a lot in a day! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to embrace the culture and try some very delicious food & treats!
