We had the best trip in Vietnam for two weeks with Trang's expert help and guidance. She gave us many great options and clearly understood the pace we needed and wanted while also traveling with a 6 yo and 7 yo. Our tour guides were great--Chung, Dat, and Loan. Each one had their own special personalities and interests that added to our trip in a unique way.

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.

Hoi An Garden Palace & Spa

I loved this place!! It's so quiet and charming and a perfect place to recharge from the constant hustle and bustle of the streets of Hoi An. The beds were comfy and our kids loved the spacious pool and the plentiful breakfast buffet.

Elios Saigon Hotel

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.

Authenticity & Character
It felt pretty generic--couldve been any hotel anywhere.

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).

It was close enough to Phun Thiet that we went there for Vietnamese food a couple of times.

Lan Ha Bay is beautiful and going to Cat Ba Island and riding bikes was one of my favorite days there.
