Helen is a very competent guide, has good humor and always goes out of her way to fulfill the wishes of her clients. We felt very well taken care of and do recommend her to anyone seeking a private guide in the greater Ho Chi Minh area.

Helen was excellent. She was friendly, very knowledgeable and fun to be around. We had a Saturday and Sunday tour. Saturday was the tunnels and the Mekong. Helen was informative and descriptive in the use of the tunnels and how the people survived. The Mekong and village tour was entertaining and delightful On Sunday we toured the sites in downtown Ho Chi Minh. The war museum was especially meaningful and significant. Helen was very knowledgeable and added personal stories. Helen is a fantastic guide!!

Helen is a great tour guide! She is fun, she speaks well, she will tell you all about what it's like to live and grow up in Vietnam. We did a full day tour to the CuChi tunnels and the Mekong delta. She did a great job explaining everything about the tunnels and then we drove down to the Mekong where we took a boat across the river and went on a canoe ride, a golf cart ride around the island and there was a group that was singing and dancing. Thank you Helen the day went by so fast and I really enjoyed it
