Our 8 day trip to Vietnam was an action packed adventure. We got to do a tour of Hanoi, an overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay, a trip to Hoi An and to spend a few nights in Ho Chin Mhin. We found our quides Cuong, Ly and Tony to be very personable and friendly and very informative. The Pandora cruise ship had a very high standard of accommodation. My advice to anyone with children who may be fussy eaters to bring some food staples like bread etc as there isn’t much alternative choices to the Vietnamese food on board the cruise. I thought the Vietnamese food provided was of high standard and loved the cookery demonstration on board. The accommodations chosen in Hanoi ( Somerset Grand Hanoi) , Hoi An ( Riverside resort and Spa) and Ho Chin Mhin were very suitable for a family of 5 and we were happy with them overall. The breakfast facility in the Somerset Chancellor Court in Ho Chin Mhin was not great although the 3 bedroom apartment itself was spacious and very comfortable. I found the whole trip very good, the highlights for me were the visit to the Ethnology museum in Hanoi, the Hoi A memories show, the Cu chi tunnels and the war museum in Ho Chin Mhin. Dat worked with us and provided us with the tailor made itinerary. He provided short notice assistance when we needed it which was a great reassurance to us. The transfers and pick ups were always on time and of very high standard. Overall we were very happy with our KimKim experience and we would use them again.
