Helena was beyond wonderful! She was so helpful, she got along with everyone in our party and made our tour seem like it flew by. She truly became part of our family and she will be dearly missed. All of the children in our party followed her every move and listened to her every word. The grandparents too felt very well taken care of. All in all there aren’t enough words to describe how great today was. Even our son, we barely will tell you about his day, was beaming when we got back to the hotel, saying he had the best day ever!
