This was our first visit to Viet Nam. We wanted to see as much as possible in 12 nights so our itinerary was pretty full on but it gave us the chance to have a fantastic look at and feel for the country.

It has made us want to return, do a more leisurely trip and choose to stay at the places we liked the most.

From the moment we made contact with Ashley to organise an itinerary, until the moment we boarded our last flight the entire trip ran like clock work and Ashley made herself available to us at any time should we need advice or extra info.

There were many highlights, we really loved the Vespa food tour in Saigon and the Capella cruise in Halong Bay. But seriously everything was brilliant.

Do not hesitate to book with KimKim travel, they are truly professionals and their ground staff/tour guides are amazing too. Special shout out to Vic for the Vespa tour for making us feel safe amongst the millions of bikes 👍.

Prepare yourself to eat some amazing food, and all the local beers hit the spot exactly after a long day (or a coconut coffee ). Just do it.

My wife and I were celebrating our 60th birthdays and this was a bucket list trip so we wanted it to be special. Ashley was great in putting together a hassle free trip just for us. We had a limited amount of time and she managed to include most of the highlights of Vietnam and Cambodia. The hotels were excellent and private guides were very informative and friendly. We especially wish to thank our guide in Siem Reap who provided an amazing experience taking us to the temples as well as the night markets and recommending various food to try. It was exceptionally hot and we were able to rearrange the day on the fly to avoid the hottest part of the day.
The drivers were excellent and made us feel relaxed so we could enjoy the scenery and we welcomed the chilled water each time we returned to the vehicles.

Ashley was a great support, she was always on top of everything always checking on us and very quick in return to our requests. Amazing! Totally recommend

Ashley did a great job for us.
From planning the trip, to the necessary paperwork. And once we were in Vietnam she was very attentive to our needs. She made sure all arrangements were followed through and met expectations.
Her involvement really allowed us to fully enjoy our trip to Vietnam!

I wanted to do a motorbike tour of the Ha Giang loop but was feeling very overwhelmed by all the different tour operators online. I was very worried about having a bad experience, as i had seen reviews of people who went on bad tours.

Thankfully, I reached out to KimKim and Ashley helped me to book the perfect tour! I let her know what I was looking for, and she got me set up with a great tour group. She also fully managed my travel to and from Ha Giang, making the whole trip totally stress free. She was very responsive to any questions I had, and also reached out independently to make sure things were going well. Overall a great experience!

Ms Ngoc Bich / Jade is a perfect guide.
She is kind and helpful

If you’re looking for convenience, Kimkim is the way to go. Our local contact for Vietnam, Ashley, was always there for us. She helped us to plan our itinerary and the accommodations and transfers were excellent. During the trip, she was responsive to all of our questions. We highly recommend.

Right from our trip planning till we got dropped off at the airport, Ashely made sure that everything was taken care of and we had a great time. We flew into Hanoi and flew out of HCMC, and we couldn't have asked for more, packing a punch travelling to Hanoi, Sapal, Halong and HCMC in eight days. We first visited Sapa, north of Hanoi and within spitting distance to the nearest Chinese town Lao Cai. Our guide at Sapo, Ly was always smiling, knowledgeable and full of energy. She has a great sense of humour. A Hmong herself (one of the tribes in Sapa region), she knows Sapa and beyond by the back of her hand. Our walks beyond Sapa through the rice fields with her was truly memorable. After Sapa, our next stop was Halong Bay on Erina Cruise. Though it was cloudy and covered in mist, Halong Bay was mesmerising. The food and accommodation on the cruise was sumptuous and their staff, always smiling. Later, we flew to HCMC, did a half day tour visiting Binh Tay market, Cholon, a Lacquerware making shop. In the evening, we, on our own went and saw the Notre Dame whose facade is under renovation and the post office walking through Districts 1 & 2. . Our guide, a young boy Khoi, was funny too. He talked us through the cultural nuances of Vietnam in general and the places we visited. We thought of signing off by going to the Cu Chi tunnels. Vi, our guide, gave us a primer on international relations, on the Vietnam War and prepped us before we got into the tunnels literally. Again, she was funny too. Our heartfelt appreciation to all our guides. And to Ashley, thank you so much. Thank you for that lovely gesture, for remembering Andrew's birthday, sending us one of your staff and treating us for dinner in HCMC. This is a trip, we will remember.
