Asia Aventura Travel

I had the pleasure of working with Trang to plan a recent trip to Vietnam and Cambodia> I had never used Kim Kim prior so was a bit nervous. No need to be, I was impressed with the service received! From the very beginning, Trang was incredibly responsive and organized, answering all of my questions promptly and thoroughly. She took the time to understand my travel preferences and crafted a customized itinerary that perfectly suited my interests.

Every detail of the trip was well planned.For our 2 week trip we saw 7 cities with the help of 4 different regional tour guides and drivers. 3 of the guides were great, one l was not as knowledgeable as I would have hoped. All guides and drivers were punctual and reliable . I felt completely at ease knowing everything was taken care of. During the trip, everything went smoothly. Trang was in constant contact checking in on us most days. She accommodated minor changes such as changing what we wanted to tour with 24 hours notice.

What stood out the most was how Trang anticipated my needs before I even realized them, ensuring that I had the best possible experience. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made my trip to Vietnam and Cambodia unforgettable. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to travel to this amazing part of the world!

Siem Reap: Banteay Srei - Pre Rup - Tonle Sap Lake - Dinner with an Apsara Dance Show

Siem Reap

The temples were breathtaking and a "do not miss". Unfortunately Tonle Sap lake was in low water season(mid march) and thus we were unable to get the full experience including getting to see floating villages. While the long drive out did allow us to see Cambodia and small villages, it did not feel a good use of a half day. Aspara dance was entertaining. Food at the dinner was mediocre.

Ho Chi Minh City

Good to do at night once the sun goes down for a more comfortable experience. Was a ton of fun riding on the back of scooters and getting to know more about life in HCMC from our guides. Feel like we got a good feel for the city as covered alot of ground. The food was good , but was secondary to the scooter experience. We'd been in country for over a week so had already experienced similar foods.

Siem Reap - Explore Angkor Complex Temples

Siem Reap

We had an absolutely amazing 2 days exploring the Angkor Wat complex with our guide! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history and culture of the site, which made the tour even more enriching. . He was attentive to our pace, ensuring we had time to explore and ask questions, while also making sure we didn’t miss any of the key highlights. The temples were breathtaking. I would highly recommend booking a guided tour of Angkor Wat to anyone visiting. It’s a must-see, and having a knowledgeable guide and a comfortable van and thoughtful driver (provided cold water and a cold towel at every stop) made it even more special.

Every place that was planned for us was what I imagined in trying to get to know the north region of Ha Noi. Even though the weather was not sunny, the Ha Long Bay was mysterious, when shrouded in clouds. We arrived in Ha Noi, after a busy weekend in Saigon at a wedding but we felt that we could relax the first two nights in our hotel and also on the one night on Capella Cruise. The meals cruise meals were fantastic. We only joined the rooftop 6:00 AM Tai Chi activity, which in the mist of Halong Bay was so memorable. Our driver, Guong? (Means strong in English) was sweet and helpful at every turn). He used English as best he could to point out important sites. Our guide Mr. Win was knowledgeable, but he seemed tired, especially on the first day. I don’t feel we learned a lot about the Old Capital. The Pagoda was OK. Our guide seemed young and in need of some better social skills. Our rower on the Tam Coc tour was amazing, and my husband asked a lot of questions through our guide about the life in that Ninh Binh area. I loved the cooking class in the traditional house. The young woman (never caught her name) was quite fluent in English, and helped her aunt in teaching us recipes.

I was happy to see the ancient sites and nature in Vietnam. I also enjoyed the regional meals provided by the cooking class

All the guides and drivers were very prompt in meeting us at the airports and hotels. I never worried that we would be on our own, and they took great care of us. My favorite experience was riding on a scooter in Ho Chi Minh City on a food tour. I never thought I would get to do that! The most beautiful city, for me, was Hoi An. We had a wonderful time bike riding in the countryside with our guide, Long, All in all, a most memorable trip to a beautiful and complicated country.

Our tour coordinator, Doris, did a great job of setting up an itinerary for us. She was very responsive to our ideas, made good suggestions and answered all our questions before and during our trip. During the whole trip, all the details were perfectly arranged. Amazing! I highly recommend Doris as a travel tour coordinator.

On the trip we especially enjoyed our first few days in and around Hanoi with tour guide Cai. He had interesting stories to tell from his background in Vietnam and was so animated in his storytelling about the history. He was also great to hike with in Cuc Phuang National Park. We liked the Tam Coc boat trip and Mua Cave. Other favorites were the Halong Bay overnight cruise -- the boat and the side trip to the cave were great -- and our relaxing days at the Green Bay resort on Phu Quoc Island. In and around Ho Chi Minh City, our tour guide Sang was fantastic. He really knows his history and was very helpful in giving us ideas on where to go during our free time. Oh, and in the middle of the trip Hue and all the side trips were great. The guide, Destiny walked us through some very interesting historical places.

Overall, all learned a lot on this trip and very much enjoyed Vietnam. The people, the culture, the food, the weather and scenery were all what I had hoped for. Thanks to Doris and KimKim for coordinating such a smooth trip so we could relax and enjoy the country.

We had a fantastic experience working with Doris Bui. She was very responsive and worked hard to respond to all of our requests. She created just the right balance of tours and free time for us. All five of hour hotels/cruise accommodations were excellent. Our guides, Long, Brian and Thuy were knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed meeting them and learning from them about the history of Vietnam and life today. We especially loved the Viet Palace, our cooking class and the visit to the pottery village in Hanoi. Long provided great restaurant recommendations. In Ninh Binh we had a great ride along the river in Tam Coc and enjoyed Brian's tour through the old capital. Thuy was so great in Hoi An sharing her knowledge of the temples and old houses there. Overall it was a great trip.
