I'm so glad we found Trang on KimKim; I can't imagine a better trip and truly credit her with the large success of our adventure. She was so easy to communicate with and very responsive, even with our crazy 13 hour time difference! She has a real gift for suggesting an itinerary that is exciting, fresh, and seamless.

This was my first time using a travel agency and I am so glad I did!!

Hotel Reviews
San Premium Hotel

Excellent breakfast with a wide spread. The triple room was comfy and just what we needed after a 24 hour trip to get to Hanoi. The location was also very convenient and we felt comfortable walking around on our own right away. Also, this hotel had the best pricing for laundry services of all the places we stayed at. ***there is no pool here, though. It's a little hard to tell from the website but the hotel itself is perfect if you dont care about a pool.

This place is fine; it just wasn't as nice as other places we'd stayed at but it served its purpose in a clean and safe way. I did like being close to the park and being able to people watch from our triple room. It was also close to several great spots to eat and we felt safe to walk around without any issues.

Bamboo Village Resort

Bamboo Village has now been added to my mental list of "happy places" when I need a break and want to picture a place I love. So much thought went into its development and the grounds and pools are gorgeous and the rooms sumptuous. The beach was also wonderful and we loved being able to play in the waves so easily. Everything smells so nice there, too. The breakfast buffet was also nothing short of fabulous; it had lots of Vietnamese options as well as Korean fare and Russian fare (Mui Ne attracts a lot of Russians, which we hadn't known).

We had the best time on our trip! It was even more exceptional than we imagined. Everything ran so smoothly and we didn’t have to think about anything. Considering we saw 5 cities in 10 days we still felt relaxed and like we had a vacation because we didn’t have to worry about anything. Hoang and our driver took great care of us always making sure we were enjoying our time. We saw some of the most beautiful landscapes we’ve ever seen and met so many sweet people. We fell in love with Vietnam, thank you to the whole Kimkim team for creating a spectacular itinerary and wonderful trip.

We REALLY enjoyed our countryside adventures in Vietnam and the 3 days in Cambodia were amazing. Our guide - Chansip - was very knowledgeable and also so accommodating to tweak our itinerary once he got to know us. Chang Mai was the highlight of our journey and the morning at the elephant sanctuary rates as one of our top lifetime experiences.
Huyen was ultra supportive throughout the trip. She always stayed connected, assisted with flight info and boarding passes and anything else we needed help with.
We would recommend KimKim and their services to travellers of all experience levels. We could just sit back and enjoy our holiday with the personalized: service that was offered.

From the moment we landed in Hanoi, we felt well taken care of even if we were unable to communicate with the local drivers. All of the drivers and tour guides were friendly and on-time. When moving from one activity or guide to the next, we were always handed off to someone who would then take care of us.

Ha Long Bay was definitely a highlight of our trip. The views were amazing and we especially enjoyed kayaking between the rock formations. Plus we got to know other travelers on the ship. We were also pleasantly surprised by the large size of the cabin on the Swan Cruise ship.

In Ho Chi Minh City, we really enjoyed our food tour with Phat from Saigon Food Tour. He was fun and enthusiastic, and he took us to a couple places off the beaten path. The food was all delicious and we learned about the culture.

In Hoi An, highlights included a ride in a basket boat, a walking tour of the old town, and a hands on cooking class.

Though we had a couple of obligatory stops at the tourist centers where they try to sell you everything, I'm confident that I would not have been able to plan as successful a trip on my own.

The city tour was OK. Our guide didn't seem to really have a plan so we wandered around aimlessly and he kept pointing out the same items at different stalls. Even after he asked if we were ready for lunch, we wandered around much longer than expected before finding a place to eat. I think it threw him off when we asked for local food and not a touristy restaurant. For the cooking class, the chef was great and we were definitely able to get hands on with making the delicious food. The location was a bit difficult for our driver to find. We weren't expecting a cooking class with just the two of us and we also didn't expect the driver and tour guide to stay with us the entire time.

The basket boat ride was one of our highlights. There was clearly a standard agenda.

The Coconut Village was so much fun! we really enjoyed the casting nets with our boat driver! We had a private boat that took us to the village and during the boat ride, we each got to cast the net into the water and learn about their fishing processes! The Coconut river and basket boats were a hoot! Lots of people, but you still felt like you were able to see and experience the river on your own!

Guides, Drivers and Staff
Our guide, Long was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a full experince, even when his "job" was finished, he joined us in the evening to make sure we knew where to go and what to do to get the full experience before the rain showers came the next day!

Tour Guides know best!!! We asked our guide, Long, what we should do for a free day that wasn't already on our itinerary! He didn't steer us wrong. We did a craft village day with our free day. Doris, our agent was able to get us a private car to drive us to each of the villages. We filled a whole half day learning about different ancient art work and handmade crafts, while getting to participate and learn from each of them. We made wooden ordinates, pottery and lanterns throughout the day and only spent a total of $15 each!

Train Street worth the hype! We visited Train street two different times, once at night (7:30pm) and once during the morning (11:50am). Very different experiences when you are on two different sides of the tracks! Great experience!
