Mr Cường was a fantastic guide. He was funny and very knowledgeable about Vietnam and the places we went. Mr Hai, our driver, was very hospitable and always had water waiting for us in the car. The activities planned were fun and gave us a good mix of Vietnamese culture and landscape. I would highly recommend KimKim tours to anyone planning a trip.

This is a smaller cruise and is perfect! This allowed for a more personal experience and our guide in the boat, Duc, was fantastic. There was a good mix of activities and rest time and food was excellent.

This hotel is located in the heart of the old quarter which made walking to shops and restaurants very easy. We highly recommend the Met restaurant for good, authentic Vietnamese food.

We had a rainy two days in Hanoi but still our guide still managed to show us a great time. The bikes were comfortable and Duc made sure to take time to get the right size for my daughter which made a huge difference for her. The cooking demo with the local family was so fun and the food was so good.

The flowers here were breath taking. We got stuck in a heavy downpour for about 30 minutes but still decided to walk through anyway and was so glad we did. Everything was so lush and colorful.

Loved loved loved this cruise. Bai Tu Long Bay is the bay less travelled and it was nice not to be surrounded by other cruises.

I’m glad we spent a second night because we got to go swimming! We swam on the first day after kayaking to the secluded beach but that was more like waddling. The second day, we anchored the little transport boat in the middle of the bay and jumped into the water! It was so refreshing and a good time.
