But Helen Dang was available with prompt responses to my questions always. Once I reached there, she was always available to answer my questions and check in to see if there was anything she could do to help. Overall the trip was fantastic. The visit to Hanoi and Danang, the experiences she organized, the hotel and guide booking she did was all fantastic. I will be back once again for a longer and more detailed travel in this beautiful country and will be reaching out to Helen again for her help and knowledge.More --- Valdemar L.
