We have heard about the Vietnamese Mr Linh adventure company through friends and after trying others, we went ahead...
We have heard about the Vietnamese Mr Linh adventure company through friends and after trying others, we went ahead and sent them an email. Helen immediately responded and made a number of suggestions. We chose Sapa - Ha Giang - Ban Gioc - Ba Be 8 day tour and definitely didn't regret it. Everything was all done professionally from from start to finish. We had our own personal English-speaking guide for the 8 days. David Long communication skills and amount of knowledge of the different areas made the trip so enjoyable. He translated for us and took us on a lot of adventures and was very knowledgeable and personable. He answered every single question we had and knew everything about every location we went to. Our driver, he was such a gentle, easy going driver, and drove very safely and expertly through any kind of traffic. The homestay was a real highlight. Home cooked meals, and interacting with the locals was brilliant. Watching our kids play with the local kids is something I will remember forever. The tour was extremely well co-ordinated and served as a fantastic insight a spectacular part of the remote, mountainous region of Vietnam's far northeast. Helen was just amazing with any details we needed and was always easily contactable. We are so thankful for these sweet woman and she made me feel like she genuinely cares about everyone she comes in contact with, regardless of the person/money. We can't say enough good things about Mr Linh adventure company, Helen and Vietnam. Go for it! You'll be glad you did. Hopefully you will have the capable Helen to help you..Show more
