Ms. Trang was super amazing and understanding of the time differences and intricacies of international travel--17h time difference from Hawaii. She booked our itinerary from landing in Hanoi to departure from Hanoi, and accommodated all of our travel needs, including issues that I wasn't even aware of. She didn't make assumptions and instead asked us what we were interested in doing, while guiding me and making suggestions based on information I had shared with her of our travel preferences and accounted for travel time in order to maximize our first trip to Viet Nam. She booked us on 2 private tours in Hanoi, including a Russian jeep tour and local attraction tour. She even paid extra to expedite my husband's Viet Nam visa when she realized it had been delayed and was able to get it for him the night before we left for our flight. She also found me a seamstress who sewed my 2 custom-made suits, advocated for my husband and me to get an upgraded hotel room with windows, and reserved upgraded seats on our flight from Hanoi back to Tokyo. She also recommended Stellar of the Seas cruise in Halong Bay and booked a 4-day, 3-night cruise for us which was a perfect duration for us. It was unexpectedly easy and efficient to communicate through the KimKim app and Ms. Trang was very patient with me. She is the epitome of customer service and I will definitely use KimKim travel agency for my future international travel.
Ms. Trang had book Duc and a driver to pick us up at Hanoi airport while Duc gave us an introduction to the city . Our Hanoi City tours were with Ben and a driver, as well as Gracie and a driver. We all communicated via Whatsapp which was extremely helpful given the language differences. They all went out of the way to help us make restaurant recommendations and suggestions for local activities following the tours. Ms. Trang went above expectations and had carefully choreographed our entire trip to Viet Nam so that we wouldn't get lost and felt welcomed to learn about the country's history and beautiful surroundings.

Stellar of the Seas
quảng ninh

My husband and I were so impressed with our 4-day 3 night cruise on Stellar of the Seas. The boat was small and intimate instead of some of the large party boats we had passed by on the Stellar. There were approximately 20 guests on our voyage which gave us the opportunity to really get to to know the other travelers and staff working on the boat. The rooms on the boats were new and gorgeous. The staff welcomed us by showering us with rose petals, white glove service, and a private butler. Our butler's name is Boo and he had our bed decorated with rose petals for our anniversary. We were also gifted a delicious cake with sparklers and a bouquet at dinner! It was over-the-top luxury. The off boat excursions were fabulous, including a wooden rowboat trip through grottos with a fisherman and our group were excited to see wild monkeys during that trip. We also enjoyed learning Tai-Chi every morning from Thinh who was the resident tour guide on Stellar of the Seas. We were so glad that we had picked Stellar of the Seas for the opportunities to do kayaking, bicycling through a village, hiking through caves and up a tall mountain, and the rowboat trip. We made some new friends who we hope to keep in touch with after the cruise. And the views of all of the small islands in Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay are so serene and beautiful. Stellar of the Seas is the best way to relax and decompress for a special occasion. There were several couples who were returning guests on the cruise!

Champton Hanoi Hotel

The front desk staff welcomed us warmly when we checked in; however, we were shocked when we were shown to our room and discovered that there were no windows to the outside, which is not what we expect from the USA. We were told by the manager that they had no more rooms with windows, so Ms. Trang from KimKim Travel called Champton to let them know that she had reserved a hotel room with windows, so the hotel upgraded us to a double-size suite with windows. Thank goodness or else my husband would have had a claustrophobic attack from the room with no windows. Otherwise, the breakfast buffet each morning was sumptuous and the view from the rooftop bar was spectacular. The location was perfect for wandering the streets of Old Hanoi by foot. We checked out too early in the morning on our last day to take advantage of the free breakfast. The hotel staff had prepared a breakfast box for their other guests who had early check-out times, but were delayed in preparing out boxes so we ate at the airport instead. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Champton.

Doris did an exceptional job planning our trip to Vietnam. She was incredibly patient throughout the entire planning process, truly listening to what we wanted and tailoring the itinerary perfectly to our style. She checked in multiple times during every step of the trip, which made us feel supported and well cared for from start to finish.
She found excellent tour guides and organized very comfortable transportation, making each day smooth and enjoyable. The overall flow of the trip was planned incredibly well — starting with more activity and exploration, and gradually easing into relaxation. It was exactly what we needed.
The places she chose for us to stay were absolutely incredible, and she went above and beyond by meeting up with our family during the trip and even bringing us gifts — such a kind and thoughtful gesture.
Doris is a true pro, and she made our trip unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

There were 5 adults planning this trip, all with different needs and requests and she fielded all of them with patience and grace. We were able to meet up with Doris in Hanoi and her sweet personality was memorable. She was able to pack a few highlights of Vietnam in only 10 days travel time - visiting Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Phou Quoc. We had reliable drivers and tour guides in both the North and South and it eliminated a ton of stress from the family dynamic. Luggage, domestic travel, private transfers, tour guides, visa help, itinerary changes - you name it, she helped us with it. I would 10/10 recommend this service for anyone wanting to plan a seamless, enjoyable travel experience abroad, especially to a far and exhilarating country like Vietnam.

Doris was such a pleasure to work with! She created a private tour for our family of six with ages ranging from 65 to age 5! Her attention to detail was spot on. We love the beautiful hotels she booked. The itinerary was just right, the guides and drivers were exceptional! The roomy passenger van was top notch! She booked our flights within the country and even helped us with our visas. We had a friendly driver waiting for our delayed flight and guide at the airport after a 20 plus hour flight so we were so exhausted so that was a lifesaver to be taken to our hotel and even helped with our check in.
We loved Ho Chi Minh City and learned so much on our delightful tour. It was very meaningful and special . We love the people of Vietnam and were treated with so much kindness. Our next stop was Hanoi. Another exciting city and a new guide and driver who treated us exceptionally well. Both were always on time and delightful to be with. We had an amazing day of touring Hanoi and before we knew it we were off to an amazing cruise on HaLong Bay! The ship exceeded our expectations and all of the tours from the ship were very fun. The accommodations were perfect and we enjoyed the elevated dining experience with great food. Our lovely tour guide was there to pick us up on time and back to Hanoi for our flight to Phi Quoc. Again the resort was absolutely amazing! Truly paradise ! We had the best time there and were sad when it was time to leave ! We had a seamless experience being transported to the airport back to Ho Chi Minh then picked up by a driver Doris arranged for us that also was outstanding for over overnight before our international flight home.
We were so happy to meet Doris in Hanoi. She is the most kind, hard working , professional that you could ever hope for. I don’t know how she did it, but every arrangement she made for us and every person we had the pleasure of spending time with were so kind, organized and truly went out of their way to make this the best trip we have ever been on. We are so thankful and feel so blessed to have Doris and her staff create a trip of a lifetime. We love Vietnam and hope to visit again someday. We have already recommended to our friends to contact Doris if they would like to travel to the destinations that she does travel planning for. Thank you Doris!! May we meet again!!

Ibis Saigon Airport

This hotel was our choice to be close to the airport. It was OK clean with very small rooms, but I do have to say they’re elevator. Doors slam shot very hard and unfortunately, I slammed my elbow in it and it was very bruised. Of course I will recover from that, but I wonder about a small child getting crushed by the elevator doors. However, their room service is very good and prompt and also the shuttle was on time and the front desk was very helpful. The rooms were clean but very much just for overnight airport stays.

Planning our trip through KimKim was an incredibly smooth and stress-free experience. The initial setup was simple, and we were quickly connected with our local Vietnam specialist, Camellia, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive, accommodating, and consistently offered thoughtful solutions that made our itinerary even better.

Throughout the trip, Camellia and her team (Ms. Thuy) stayed in close contact via WhatsApp and email, always replying quickly and ensuring we had everything we needed. Even during the record flooding that occurred during our visit, they seamlessly adjusted our plans so well that we barely felt any disruption.

Most of the activities and guides arranged for us were excellent, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. Our two favorites were Heidi, a Vespa Food Tour in Saigon, and Ms. Linh, for an all-day City and Food Tour in Hanoi. Both were extremely accommodating by adjusting the tour's destinations based upon our initial feedback. A couple of activities in our itineraries ended up being more tourist-heavy than we preferred, but that was more a reminder for us to be extra clear on our preferences during planning.

Overall, KimKim—and especially Camellia—made our Vietnam trip feel personalized, well-supported, and wonderfully memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a well-organized, locally informed travel experience.

Hotel Reviews
Garden View Court Suites

Garden View Court Suites offers an ideal location in the former District 1, with beautiful views overlooking the Independence Palace and easy walking access to many of Ho Chi Minh City’s top attractions. The service stands out immediately—every staff member is warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive, making the stay feel welcoming from start to finish. While the pool and gym area are pleasant, the presentation via their website photos creates an expectation of greater luxury than what's actually offered. The breakfast buffet is a pleasant highlight, featuring a generous spread of options including an egg station and a comforting pho station. While the suites are spacious and impeccably clean, they do feel a bit dated and reflect more of a mid-tier extended stay hotel. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-situated choice with standout service and great value.

Dragon Legend Cruise
Hon Gai

Review: Dragon Legend 3-Day, 2-Night Cruise Experience We joined the Dragon Legend cruise directly from Ha Long Bay, though the company also offers convenient pick-up and drop-off options from Hanoi—including a village tour and traditional water puppet show on Day 3—for those wanting a more curated, all-inclusive experience. Check-In & First Impressions: The starting point was serviceable but could use improvements. Amenities were limited while waiting to board, and the check-in process felt awkward at times. Staff called out last names and room numbers in front of the entire group, along with announcing anyone who still had an outstanding balance to pay before boarding—something that could easily be handled more discreetly. Cabins & Comfort: Once on board, the rooms were a highlight. They were remarkably spacious, clean, and offered a comfortable retreat between activities. Dining Experience: Meals were generally enjoyable, with breakfast and the farewell lunch offered buffet-style. All other meals were served family-style, which works well for groups but may feel restrictive for some. That said, the staff is very accommodating and will gladly provide additional portions upon request. Activities & Onboard Programming: For a multi-day cruise, the activities could use some enhancement. The programming felt repetitive—especially if you choose not to kayak both days—leaving some downtime that wasn’t optimally filled. The spa, however, was a pleasant surprise; the therapists were excellent and well worth booking during the trip. Facilities & Common Areas: While the cabins and spa shine, other areas of the boat fall short. The pool area lacked appeal, and the upper lounge deck also felt underwhelming and outdated given the otherwise premium experience Dragon Legend aims to deliver. Disembarkation: Unfortunately, the final experience didn’t end on a strong note. Shuttles that were supposed to take passengers from the pier back to the main terminal never arrived, leaving everyone to walk the distance instead. Luggage retrieval was also slow, with bags taking quite a while to reach the terminal’s baggage claim area. Overall: Dragon Legend provides a comfortable and scenic cruise with standout cabins and excellent spa services. Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. However, there’s room for improvement in the check-in process, onboard programming, and disembarkation logistics. With a few refinements, the experience could easily match the beauty of the landscape it sails through.

Hoi An Golden Holiday Hotel & Spa
Hoi An

Hoi An Golden Holiday Hotel & Spa is an excellent choice for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and genuine Vietnamese hospitality just outside the bustling heart of Ancient Town. Its location strikes a great balance—close enough for an easy walk to the main attractions, yet slightly removed from the crowds. Rooms & Comfort The rooms were a standout surprise. Spacious, beautifully designed, and far more luxurious than expected, they offered a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring Hoi An’s lantern-lit streets. Service & Staff The staff deserves special mention. Service was consistently warm, attentive, and thoughtful, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Whether arranging transport or providing recommendations, the team went above and beyond. Surroundings & Noise Considerations One thing to note is the large Bia Hoi establishment located right next to the hotel. It’s a lively spot popular with locals for cheap beer and open spit-roasted goat—a fun and authentic experience if you’re in the mood. However, the noise from the crowds can carry into the night, which may impact light sleepers. Overall Hoi An Golden Holiday Hotel & Spa delivers a high level of comfort and service at a great value. If you don’t mind a bit of nighttime noise—or plan to join the festivities yourself—it’s a fantastic base for exploring Hoi An.

White Lotus Hue Hotel
Hue

White Lotus Hue Hotel is well-situated within easy walking distance of Hue’s lively tourist area—surrounded by restaurants, cafes, shops, clubs, the waterfront, and the iconic Truong Tien Bridge. The property shines in its amenities, especially the impressive pool area and what may be the largest, most well-equipped hotel gym I’ve ever seen, complete with an unexpected outdoor mini golf practice range. Staff throughout the hotel, including laundry services, were friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast buffet offered a generous and varied spread. The bar and restaurant boast beautiful views with a menu that’s decent, though not remarkable. Rooms, however, felt a bit small, and the open bathroom concept—with the combined toilet/shower and a raised water threshold—was not ideal and proved easy to trip over. Overall, White Lotus Hue delivers strong value with excellent facilities and service, even if the room layout isn’t for everyone.

Au Lac Legend Hotel
Ho Chi Minh city

Au Lac Legend Hotel is ideally located within easy walking distance of Ho Chi Minh City’s top attractions, including the Independence Palace, Central Post Office, Ben Thanh Market, and the Ben Nghe Street Food Market. The convenience continues right outside the front door, where numerous local food stalls make breakfast and lunch options incredibly accessible—and for those craving something non-Vietnamese toward the end of their trip, Jollibee is only a block away. The hotel offers several solid amenities, including a small but pleasant pool area with a sauna and an upper rooftop lounge featuring great views. The gym is well-equipped but extremely compact. Rooms are a good size and impressively quiet given the busy surroundings. Staff throughout the hotel, including laundry services, were consistently friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was average, and the bar and restaurant offered nice views with a menu that was just okay. Afternoon tea was a thoughtful touch, though not the strongest execution. The biggest inconvenience was the hotel’s single elevator, which often resulted in delays. Overall, Au Lac Legend provides strong value through its excellent location, warm service, and comfortable rooms—despite a few limitations in its amenities and dining.

The driver was very friendly and professional. He was waiting outside of baggage claim with printed name sign. I arrived around 11pm so it was great to have this stress-free experience to get to my hotel in HCM.

Ho Chi Minh City - Cu Chi tunnels - Street food by vespa (private)
Ho Chi Minh City - Cu Chi tunnels - Street food by vespa (private)
Ho Chi Minh City

A full day in and around Ho Chi Minh City offered two unforgettable experiences that I’d recommend to anyone looking to truly understand the city’s past and present. The Cu Chi Tunnels were absolutely worth the visit—especially for anyone interested in war history. Exploring the underground tunnels provides eye-opening context to the Vietnam War, and for an additional cost, the on-site shooting range even allows you to try Vietnam War–era weaponry, adding an immersive (and adrenaline-filled) element to the tour. In complete contrast, the evening Vespa street food tour was an electric and delightful way to experience the city’s modern-day culture. Riding on the back of a scooter through Saigon’s bustling traffic is an experience in itself—made stress-free thanks to skilled local drivers who handle the chaos effortlessly. Our guide, Heidi, originally planned a mix of bars and restaurants, but once we mentioned we wanted to focus on authentic local delicacies, she immediately adapted the itinerary. What followed was an incredible culinary journey through hidden gems and street-side favorites across the city—an experience that felt both personal and perfectly curated. Together, these two tours offered a powerful blend of history, adventure, and culture—making it a standout day in Ho Chi Minh City.

Nhat was a very good guide. His English skills was good but his passion and knowledge of Vietnamese history kept us engaged throughout the tour.

If flying VietJet, highly suggest flying business class. The Skyboss status had its own private check-in desk, its own security line, priority boarding and deplaning with private shuttle (if not connected via jetway). For any checked bags, they're ensured to be off-loaded first. You also get a meal onboard no matter how short the flight. If traveling during peak tourist season, this upgrade is definitely worth it. Vietnam Airlines does have their own check-in lounge in the bigger airports.

Ho Chi Minh City

Our full-day Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh City offered a rich blend of culture, scenery, and hands-on learning, supported by a private driver, boat, and knowledgeable guide. The stops at a coconut brick factory and a coconut candy production shop provided fascinating insight into local craftsmanship and traditions. A visit to a nearby village added to the experience with a relaxed lunch and opportunities to shop from local vendors. While the overall day was engaging and educational, a couple of the stops clearly catered to large tour groups, which made some moments feel overly staged. Still, the mix of river exploration, cultural learning, and village life made the journey a meaningful way to experience the Mekong Delta.

Ancient Town Walking with Street Food Tasting

Hoi An

Our walking tour of Hoi An Ancient Town was the perfect blend of culture, history, and incredible eats. Before the tour even began, our guide brought us to one of Hoi An’s highly recommended tailor shops—one of the many the city is famous for—where we were able to get custom suits and dress shirts made with impressive speed and craftsmanship. From there, we explored the heart of Ancient Town, stopping at beautifully preserved Chinese cultural assembly halls and crossing the iconic Japanese Bridge. Along the way, we sampled a fantastic lineup of local specialties, including banh mi, coconut coffee, Mi Quang, and the uniquely Hoi An dish, Cao Lau. Although a couple of the destinations were clearly geared towards tourists, each stop offered a deeper appreciation of the Hoi An influenced flavors and stories behind the food. The tour wrapped up perfectly timed for us to stay and experience Hoi An’s magical transformation at night, when lanterns illuminate the streets and the famous night market comes alive. It was a memorable, immersive way to experience the charm and culinary richness of Hoi An.

Our full-day Hidden Heritage and Old Quarter Street Food Tour in Hanoi was unforgettable, thanks entirely to our amazing guide, Ms. Linh—truly the best we could’ve asked for. She took us to an impressive variety of truly local establishments, the kind you’d never find on your own, each stop offering a deeper look into Hanoi’s everyday flavors and culture. Along the way, we experienced the city exactly as locals do—from sipping lime tea and snacking on sunflower seeds on tiny plastic stools in the shadow of St. Joseph’s Cathedral to enjoying beers and small bites on Train Street as the train rumbled past just feet away. Beyond the food, Ms. Linh brought Hanoi’s heritage to life with her passion, depth of knowledge, and engaging storytelling at every historical stop. The day was the perfect blend of history, culture, and street food adventure, and it left us with a true appreciation of the soul of Hanoi.
