My wife and I had a great time with Helen. Not only was she knowledgeable and experienced, she was very attentive and intuitive at our first day in HCMC. She had a driver which is a must and coordinated the visit to each highlight very efficiently. Above all, she was just fun to be around.

This is an excellent tour for first-time visitors to Saigon. Helen is an incredibly personable and knowledgeable guide. We covered all the city's highlights in a busy, manageable day, and her ability to combine history and cultural lessons was terrific. I highly recommend Helen and this tour.
