What a trip! From the very beginning Dat took into account all our requests for our trip with our 2 daughters. Communication was excellent throughout, quick responses to any questions, itinerary was updated and all information needed was clear and easy to follow. Ha took over from Dat when we arrived in Vietnam, she met us with a welcoming smile and was amazing with any questions I had, checked in with us frequently and was really helpful. The whole trip was absolutely fantastic, all ran so smoothly with pick ups, tours and accommodation, which made it so relaxed and enjoyable. Would highly recommend KimKim to anyone looking to travel. Brilliant experience!

Hotel Reviews
Dal Vostro Hotel & Spa
Hanoi

Hotel is really central in Hanoi and so easy to find. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was varied. Unfortunately for us the spa was closed and they were renovating the hotel when we were there, so lots of noise from that, but we were out most of the time so didn’t really bother us, but would have been helpful to have been pre-warned - their website didn’t even note anything about the renovations. I would still recommend as I think once complete is still a great hotel in the city centre.

Queen Ann Hotel Saigon

This hotel was in a good location close to the food night market. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We were on the 11th floor and with only one lift was a bit painful. The breakfast was ok, very busy in the mornings with everyone being there at the same time due to tour pick ups which sometimes could be hard to get a table. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Hoi An Riverside Villas & Apartments

Loved this place. Just outside the main centre of Hoi An, lovely rooms with balcony overlooking the pool. Spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was good and varied. Nice pool that was kept clean throughout the day. Staff were lovely and friendly. Bikes were available to use, but we just caught a taxi to the centre. We were there only one day but would recommend this place to stay.

Thanh Kieu Beach resort
Kien Gianh

A little gem of relaxation! Had four nights here in the family bungalow. Lovely, spacious, comfortable which a view of the beach. Good quiet location right on the sandy beach. Staff were helpful and friendly. Beach restaurant food was varied and tasty. Only negative is in the evening, beach restaurant area was super quiet, no music (even just low level chilled music) and bar closes at 9pm, which was a shame as in such a lovely location and just felt it lacked a little atmosphere.

Fantastic day out, seeing how coconut candy is made, lovely boat trip through the Mekong and a short fun bike ride. Even got to try Snake wine…

After getting up very early to no sunrise, we found this a little disappointing compared to the caves we saw in the Ninh Binh province.
