Nov 11 - Nov 29, 2024
At first, we were looking at booking through GTours or Intrepid. But we didn’t like how we couldn’t choose the cities we went to or the dates. Then I found kimkim. I was hesitant at first because I hadn’t heard of them. But our experience was wonderful and I wholeheartedly recommend kimkim.
They connected us with Lucy at Realistic Asia for our trip to Vietnam. Lucy was wonderful and super responsive. She spent a long time with us crafting the perfect trip for us. During our trip, she was super responsive with contacting hotels to store our luggage, contacting tour guides to make adjustments, and helping us with overweight/excess baggage on our domestic flights.
We used Hanoi as our home base. We decide to stay at different hotels each time and I’m glad we did that to experience different hotels and different locations in the old quarter. I guess it would have been easier to stay at one hotel the whole time and just leave our bags there instead of having to pick up our suitcases from other hotels. But it was all so close that it wasn’t a problem.
We landed in Hanoi and stayed there a few days. Then we went to Ninh Binh and Pu Luong nature reserve. From there, we drove back to Hanoi and then flew to Da Lat. Then we flew to Da Nang and stayed in Hoi An, and Hue. We flew from Hue to Hanoi and that was the end of our trip. We arrived on Nov 11 and departed for home on Nov 29. We loved the places we went to.
Our tour guides were wonderful and helpful as were our drivers. We are so glad we worked with Lucy at Realistic Asia!
Hotel Reviews
This was the first hotel we went to in Hanoi and our favorite. We liked that it was smack dab in the old quarter. It was noisy and bustling and the staff were wonderful and the breakfast buffet was great!
The room was big and the breakfast buffet was too. We stayed there just one night. The view from the room was amazing and the staff were wonderful.
Wow! Just wow! This place was a vacation within our vacation. Beautiful grounds and villas. We were upgraded to a fantastic huge suite. The food was delicious. I had one of the best salads I’ve ever had there. The staff were so friendly and accommodating.
I can’t recommend this place enough. The staff were so wonderful and kind and helpful. We gave fond memories of here. The view was amazing and stunning and the food was great.
We were here briefly for one night and had a good experience.
Great location in the old imperial city. We didn’t want to stay at the big skyrise hotels. This had character. The staff weren’t as friendly as everywhere else it still super friendly. The buffet wasn’t the best either but still totally good and decent. We liked the character of the place and we are glad we stayed there.
The staff were amazing! The food was so good! The room view was incredible. We had a great time on this cruise.
This was one of the bigger hotels we stayed at in Hanoi and it was on a wider street with more tourists. We liked smaller hotels more off the beaten path. We stayed here for one night. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly.
