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!

He could also answer most of our questions.
Our guide in Hoi An (Bao) had so-so English skills and was not super responsive in our questions. The trip to Cham Island was a turist trap and we had a tough time getting over the pollution in plastic and the bad use of the island. Tourists should be limited and there should be better protection of Cham Island. Also the diesel fumes in the harbour area of Da Nang was awful. Lots of cheap sellers, too many tourists and very hard to breathe from the fumes.
Last guide in HCMC was fine (David). English skills was fine and he was a good guide. The trip to the Mekong Delta (Ben Tre) was a good taste of what the delta is and what is possible. For a next trip we would love to go deeper into this, perhaps on an overnight trip if possible to be able to explore more. Our day was good.

Dear May,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback from your recent journey through Vietnam. Your insights are invaluable to us as we continually strive to enhance our services and offerings.

I'm delighted to hear that Quinn, your guide in Hue and to Hoi An via Da Nang, made a positive impression with his extensive knowledge of Vietnam's history and his dedication to ensuring you had a fulfilling experience. Quinn's passion for sharing the cultural and historical aspects of Vietnam truly makes him an asset to our team.

I apologize for the less-than-ideal experience you had with Bao, your guide in Hoi An. Your feedback regarding his English proficiency and responsiveness is noted, and we will address this internally to ensure we improve in this area for future trips.

Regarding your experience on Cham Island and in Da Nang, I share your concerns about the environmental impact and the challenges posed by tourism. Sustainable tourism practices are crucial, and we are committed to advocating for responsible travel and supporting initiatives that promote the protection of natural and cultural heritage sites like Cham Island.

I'm pleased to hear that David, your guide in HCMC, provided you with a positive experience. His good English skills and guidance are commendable, and I'm glad he could enrich your exploration of the city.

Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback and for choosing us to be a part of your travel experience. We look forward to welcoming you back and creating more memorable journeys together.

Warm regards,

My boyfriend and I went on a 13 day trip to Vietnam which was incredibly planned by Minh. My mom helped in the planning stages which was made easy by KimKim with easy access to the trip planner through a chat and online itinerary. 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!!

All guides were amazing. Zoom (Daniel ) Ken amd Liam were all above and beyond expectations. Suggestes itinerary was busy but allowed us to.see a whole lot of the country in 12 days. The one negative was the boat trip Ha Long Bay. The rooms all smell like mildew. We talked with 3 other couples on the.boat who all had the same complaint. Boat staff was nice but not enough to make my rating of the overall boat cruise better

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks a lot for leaving your valuable feedback. It is great to know that you had a great time in Vietnam! Our team would be very much motivated reading your kind words.
Regarding the moldy smell on the boat in Ha Long, I am very sorry to hear this. 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! They are finding ways to keep the guests' rooms dry and increase ventilation to avoid all these troubles.
All my best wishes!
Minh
