This was our first experience in south east Asia. Doris prepared a wonderful itinerary for us. After inquiring our travel dates and interests, she designed a detailed and comprehensive plan for our trip encompassing everything we asked for and more good stuff. she was very meticulous in the design and was open to making changes at our request. The overall experience exceeded our expectation. In addition, she guided us through every step and carefully monitored all reservations and deadlines to ensure a perfect trip which it was.
She coordinated the tours, guides, drivers, hotels and flights to our liking and made changes when we asked. she helped with a couple restaurant reservations. she responded to our inquiries with no delays. she was also very personable and friendly which made the interaction that much more pleasant. I give Doris the highest remarks and recommendation as a travel consultant.

We had good guides in Bangkok, Central and South Vietnam . all showed enthusiasm and willingness to give us the best experience. Our guide in Ho CHi Minh city, Mr. Hung Ha was exceptional. The 3 guides in Hoi An city who covered different aspects of our stay were very good , friendly and enthusiastic. I would have all these guides again .

we had memorable moments in every place we visited. Hoi An stands out as well as the nature in Mai Chau and the trip to Mekong Delta. The ending at Phu Quoc island was so lovely ( this was Doris's idea and plan) that we could have stayed there two more days. so perhaps next time. we will not forget the time we spent there

Our experience booking with Kim Kim and Trang was the best service and holiday booking experience we have ever had. The tour and hotel recommendations were perfect. In particualr the Allegro Hotel in Hoi An which was a small slice of paradise. We also love the Ocean Bay resort in Phu Quoc our biggest disappointment was not booking more time. The beach was pristine and the water was clear and warm. We did go to other beaches whilst there and they didn't compare and were less spotless. Our tour guide in Hanoi, Ben, was fantastic during our Jeep tour. We loved the personal touches such as taking us to his uncles apartment to see how people live in old Hanoi. I definitely recommend the egg coffee. Lunch was incuded and he showed us how to eat the local traditional food. It was a bit chilly but the Anatole hotel was located close to UniQlo to buy a warm jacket. The hotel was small and ideally located for the old town. In Hoi An our tour guide was Destiny and we were so lucky to have her as our guide. She was increadibly knowledgable and we recommended her to others visiting the area. Ho Chi Minh was probably our least favourite place and I know many reviews can be mixed - people see to love it or loath it. It is a BIG city and very bustling bt again our guide Richard was amazing. We stayed at the Le Vela hotel which we found to be a fairly generic hotel you migh find in any part of the world unlike the other hotels we stayed in during our trip - it should be noted this hotel is popular with locals on the weekend for weddings and birthday parties - so our Sunday arrival was perhaps more hectic than usual. We did have an issue with the airconditioning which appeared to be set permanently at 25c and despite having staff look at this it was not fixed - it appeared to be a default temperature. However, there was a fantastic french restaurant acorss the road and it was amazing food. Our 5 days in Phu Quoc was great and relaxing but was quite busy with Russian tourists. I think our choice of booking with a local person was evident throughour with fantastic almost daily communication from Trang. This was an absolute bonus when Vietnam Airline changed our flight back to Ho Chi Minh to a later time meaning we would not make our International connection home. However, Trang got straight onto this and rebooked the flight to allow us plenty of time to make our connection. We know if we had booked with an agent in Australia we would not have received such a quick response. It was sad we had to leave earlier meaning a 26 hour trip back to home but it was out of everyone's control. Ho Chi Minh airport is expensive so make sure you buy all of your souveniors prior to setting to the airport. Everything about the trip ran smoothly from the drivers to the tour guides. I could not recommend Trang more highly for your trip to Vietnam - you will not be disappointed. Thank you Trang your service was amazing and we are so delighted we choose you to book our memorable trip to Vietnam

KimKim did a good job planning our itinerary and we didn’t once have to wait to meet up with our guides who were always on time. Our last guide, Richard, also the youngest, had the best English. He had also researched the history of Vietnam and the wars throughout their history and had prepared his own material to show us, further explaining them.

All our guides were knowledgeable but they were all also sometimes hard to understand as their pronunciation was often challenging to us. None of them really understood our questions when we strayed from the subject.

Our final excursion to the floating market was interesting to see but I’m not sure it was worth the long drive and it was one we would have skipped, especially given how bad our driver was.

From the beginning, Trang aimed to understand the type of trip I was seeking for myself and family. Our trip planning began almost a year before the trip. She was very patient and made so many modifications to my itinerary. I wanted a mix of rural, cultural, city and nature seeking. It’s very important for me to support local businesses and have an authentic cultural experience. All of my accommodations and tours satisfied my requests. 2 in particular - the nonprofit Cardamon Tent Camp and Canvas Orchid Retreat matched our priorities toward socially responsible tourism. Trang was also able to secure adjoining or adjacent rooms for each of our hotel stays. Prior to our departure, I had trouble with my flight and VISA. Thankfully, Trang was proactive in settling the VISA and adjusting my itinerary to accommodate my late change in plans. Throughout the trip, Trang checked in with me to make sure my accommodations and local tour guides were satisfying my needs. I wish that Trang could plan all of my future trips!

The dining room staff during dinner service were not as friendly compared to other hotel staff. There were a lot of bugs in the evening time in the interior and exterior dining areas. I don’t know what the solution could be but it made for an unpleasant evening dining experience. It took a long time for dinner and several dishes were not available and the food seemed over priced compared to all the other hotels.

She was so easy to work with and was always available whenever we had a question. What I loved most was how she actually listened to what we wanted. She put together a trip that was the perfect mix of fun and educational, without it ever feeling like a 'cookie-cutter' tour.

We absolutely loved the energy in Chiang Mai and Luang Prabang, but the real highlight for us was Ninh Binh. We had an incredible day hiking through the countryside and meeting the White Thai people—it was such a cool, interesting experience. Plus, getting to do the elephant experience was a dream come true.

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!

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.

Once again KimKim created an amazing trip. We had seamless transportation, knowledgable guides, comfortable and varied accommodations, and saw such beautiful sites and experienced local culture. Cambodia is an absolute gem of a country to visit and KimKim made it easy!
