My favorite quote is “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” (St. Augustine). I love traveling and sharing experiences with travelers around the world.
Travel is to learn more about the life of the locals, not just a holiday and more important is about to keep the destinations better for our future generation to come back, that's why we set up Footprint Travel to show people around the World about Vietnam and Indochina while making it sustainable.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I'm confident with my knowledge of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia classic, adventure, hiking/trekking, biking, culture tours"

How did you get involved in travel?

"My grandparents and parents are originally Hanoian, so am I. But the funny thing is I was born in Tien Giang – a province in the Southeast of Vietnam – while my mom went on a holiday. It seems like my destiny is all about travel, here & there. I have been a travel consultant since 2016, meeting a lot of foreign travelers and sharing interesting traveling experiences. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Once when I was traveling in Da Lat (a city in Vietnam Central Highland) with my friend and we were on a motorbike heading to a restaurant for lunch. We got in the wrong direction and were completely lost but decided to follow the faith. Then suddenly we drove past through a large pine forest which was so stunning that we forgot how hungry we were and enjoyed the spectacular view the whole afternoon. So it's not always bad luck when we got lost while traveling. "

Well kept hotel, very nice grounds, very closed to town (quite walkable). We were there New Years Eve and the gala buffet dinner left a lot to be desired. I cannot comment on the non-holiday food options or quality but I was definitely unimpressed with the kitchen on the Eve and New Years Day. Food rather tasteless and not kept very warm. Breakfasts also did not have the variety of fresh fruit I expected from a hotel in the fruit producing country.

Outstanding service, rooms so well prepared and comfortable given this is a rather small ship. Chef prepared amazing meals in a confined space. So tasty, good portions and variety. He was easily able to accommodate diets that were fish only or meat only. This overnight was probably the highlight of the trip.

She was exceptional, punctual, and knowledgeable. The weather was really nice, toured the capital, enjoyed coffee at train street (intense). Pu Luong is what the name stands for very nature and beautiful. Ninh Binh-Tam Coc is also beautiful, need to go to mua cave which has the 500 steps, it is worth it.
Went on to Bai Tu Long Bay (Renea Cruise) it was great to have met other people from different places since this was the only group tour for us.
Next was Hoi An, our tour guide Nhat was great and knowledgeable. We visited the Tra Que Village and Hoi An tour. Rode a bike through rice paddy and around village. Although it rained that day it was still exciting, we wore a poncho so that helped. Ba Na Hills- Golden bridge is a place to go and see.
Last stop is Ho Chi Minh City. Our tour guide was Ching, he was also amazing and knowledgeable. We did the Can Gio Mangrove tour, there is also monkeys there too.
Seen the bat swamp and crocodile reserve and fed them too. Thank you all!

Communicating and adjusting the itinerary was amazing and done in a timely manner. Minh was helpful in every way adjusting as requested and making wonderful suggestions. Once on the trip, everything was seamless and high quality from the airport transfer to the tours and guides. Other than some small issues with air conditioning in some of the hotels not functioning, we enjoyed our hotels, food, outings and guides. Some of the highlights included the overnight cruise on Capella Cruises on HaLong Bay. As well as our night Vespa tour in Ho Chi Min. We had custom clothing made in Hoi Ann and saw spectacular rice terraces and scenery. We ended the trip relaxing on the beach in Nha Trang which was beautiful! We were given a great overall taste of Vietnam and look forward to returning one day! Thanks to Minh for truly making this a trip to remember!! So happy to have found KimKim Travel!!

The drivers did not usually speak much if any English, but were well versed in how to navigate all types of traffic without any mishaps. Our contact at Kim Kim and the tour guides kept in constant contact with us so that we always knew the daily schedule. We had enough "free time" in each of the areas to explore the sights and sounds on our own. We can't say enough positive things about the entire adventure!! My youngest son and I will forever be grateful for this trip of a lifetime!!!

I have spoken with the Dragon Legend Cruise - one of the teams that has worked with us for over 10 years now - and received feedback that you also had similar comments on the feedback form on the boat. They and we are very sorry that the weather in Ha Long at that time was not very good, with high humidity and drizzle for a long time, leading to the easy occurrence of the unpleasant smell. The boat crew sincerely apologizes and hopes to be able to make it up to you if you or your family come back to use the service!
