Helen Nguyen is AWESOME! We had a great day touring Saigon with her. She is one of the funniest, most quick-witted guides we have ever used...which made our day with her in Saigon even more enjoyable. Highlights of the day included the War Remnants Museum (very moving and powerful), the Reunification Palace, lunch at a local restauraunt, and coffees at the oldest coffee shop in Saigon. We enjoyed our day with Helen very much and can highly recommend her. Thank you Helen for great memories of Saigon!

Helen was super spunky and funny. Her English is great and she made the tour both interesting and fun. She was very patient and understanding with my elderly mom and went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. She made our time in Ho Chi Minh City very special.
