Half Day Local Breakfast Tour in Ho Chi Minh

My favourite thing I’ve ever done in any country! Nyguen (Helen) was an amazing guide, felt like seeing the city with an old friend. Very knowledgeable on the history and people, plus the food was amazing! This is an absolute must for anyone going to Ho Chi Minh.

What a great experience this was! Vic was my guide, a young lad with a lot of energy and cheer. I could immediately tell he wasn't going to do a bog standard tour when I put on my duck helmet. Firstly, the food. The selection was really good - great local options that I wouldn't have considered if I were just walking around on my own. My favourite food was the hot plate deconstructed banh mi, and the drink at the China town market was beautifully unique and refreshing, as was hearing the chatty locals share a little story about sapodilla. A personal highlight for sure! The breakfast food adventure took me through some very narrow alleys to secret locations which Vic expertly navigated. We had a great conversations, and Vic could answer many of my questions on Vietnam culture. He went above and beyond, and even gave great advice for things to do afterwards.

We had an awesome morning with Helen and Vic trying lots of local breakfast dishes and drinks. So delicious. We were zipping in and out of little streets and the narrowest laneways but we always felt safe on the back of the scooter. There is no way we would have seen or experienced as much of the outer city areas without these guys as our guides. Highly recommended.

Very enriching, informative and enjoyable experience of Cu Chi tunnels with our guide Kile who told us the history of his country around these tunnels. His humor and good humor accompanied us throughout the experience. Our lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. I highly recommend!

I had the most amazing morning with Helen. Zipping in and out of markets and lane ways. Tasting such delicious food and drinks. Helen is funny, very friendly and extremely informative. I saw more of HMC with Helen than I ever could alone. It was such a fantastic experience. Thank you 🙏🏽

We loved the Half Day Local Breakfast Tour with Saigon Happy Tour — easily the highlight of our time in Ho Chi Minh City! Experiencing the city by motorbike made it even more special — it’s such an authentic way to see the city, and we felt completely safe the entire time. The food stops were fantastic — truly local breakfast spots we never would have found on our own — and our guides shared great insight into daily life, culture, and the neighborhoods we passed through. Both guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and really proud of their food and culture. Beyond the tour itself, Happy and Mimi truly went above and beyond! They helped us book an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise, offering honest recommendations and handling all the details seamlessly. It made our trip so much easier, and the cruise was absolutely unforgettable. If you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City and want to experience the city like a local — while also having trustworthy people help with other parts of your trip — Saigon Happy Tour is a must. I would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Happy & Mimi!

Great trip, great tour guide, great food. Highly recommended. Clean van, friendly and informative. Need to do this tour to experience the history.

Really had a great time with our Tour guide Kyle. He’s really funny and has a lot of interesting things to tell, 10/10 - would do again!! Thanks Kyle!!

We had Saigon Legacy tour with this company. It was supposed to be a breakfast tour, but as we already had a heavy breakfast at the hotel, they promptly changed it to a lunch at the end of the tour. Our tour guide Kyle was excellent and was full of information about all the sites we visited. And he took us to the innermost parts is Saigon we would not have seen otherwise. We even visited a local family who were quite happy to welcome us. A superb experience indeed.

I really enjoyed my time with Happy on the 4 hr breakfast tour of Saigon. This was my first experience taking a tour in Vietnam even though I’m of Vietnamese descent from North America but I’m glad I choose Saigon Happy Tour. His service was exceptional and very down to earth as he took me to local spots that felt like a close friend showing me around the city after not being back for awhile. I’ve been to Vietnam a few times before but this was a great experience and one I hope to do every time I visit back to Vietnam. Highly recommend Happy and his team.
