Asia Aventura Travel

We had a great trip to Vietnam and Cambodia
Trang made great efforts to adapt the trip to our needs with multiple changes before we decided on the final trip
We first explored Hanoi and surroundings with our guide Ky : Hanoi city, biking and hiking in the rice fields around Puo Luong, and Ha Long bay. Ky is a really enthusiastic and dynamic guide 😉, Be sure to ask him if you can to hike and explore the north of Vietnam
Then we flew to Siem Reap and discovered the wonderful temples of Angkor, and an elephant retreat , with guide Bun. Bun did a wonderful job at introducing the Cambodian culture, which is very different from Vietnam, he is very knowledgeable and his English is excellent which made communication very easy.
And finally, we flew back to Vietnam, to Hoi An.
We discovered this wonderful little city with our guide Hân: The ancient town, the many lanterns , the rice fields and the coconut plantations. Both his English and French are excellent and he was also very helpful during these few days, a lovely person.
With our 12 day trip, we only discovered a tiny portion of these wonderful countries that offer many more possibilities for exploring their fascinating cultures
Transportation with our own dedicated minivan and driver was always at a very high-level
Hotels were exactly what we asked for
Thumbs up 👍🏻 for the organization, highly recommended

Hanoi - Halong Bay Cruise - Overnight on boat

Ha Long Bay

Halong Bay is certainly worth exploring as a natural wonder, but the massive amount of tourists makes this a little bit of a lesser experience for us. I would advise exploring the alternatives around it as you will probably encounter less tourist

Pu Luong - Hanoi

Pu Luong Nature Reserve

Still a lesser known region, so you get to see some magnificent rice fields with almost no tourists. This is a certainly an interesting place when the rice fields up north are not yet planted like in these months of April and May

We had looked at several travel companies and selected KimKim based on price and responsiveness. However, in the end we had to do a lot of research and suggest unique experiences that better fit with who we are and the variety we were looking for. We bsed some of our ideas from other sample itineraries we found, passed them along. You need to take the time to get to know your customers and take the time to do research on a variety of options. don't just give us one itinerary that looks finalized. Give us ideas in several locations. It ended up being ALOT of work to plan. The execution and service was great however.

Had a very good experience with Kimkim connected my family with local travel agent Huyen in Hanoi Vietnam and the customized, private family tour that she helped us put together for us to make our way from Hanoi to Hoi An and Saigon. It was a packed itinerary but traveling between locations was very streamlined with her help and the guides she found for us in the various parts of the country we visited, and our day plans included many creative activities and visits to terrific restaurants we might never have stumbled on otherwise. Given the cultural and language difference having a plan with set meals that offered a wide selection of local delicacies for many of our lunches and dinner was great and we were happy with the mix of unstructured time and predetermined destinations. Vietnam is such a beautiful country and it was a huge privilege to spend time exploring and are grateful to the hospitality of Huyen and our travel guides Pham, Vo, and Vinh.

Violet Train

An adventure traveling an iconic route along the coast through lush mountain passes between northern and central Vietnam overnight. Be aware that though the private sleeper bedrooms on train are reasonably comfortable it is not necessarily immaculately clean especially the public bathroom on board.

Overall our experience with KimKim was great. Communication with them before the trip was excellent and the guides assigned to us were great for the most part.

we book 8 days for our honeymoon in Vietnam with this agency , in Vietnam basically we were by ourselves, just 2 days we had tour guides ( the one in the historical Vietnam was awesome ) the other days where we just had hotels and taxis and no other guide. we also covered most of the food apart from the free breakfast at the hotel.
Most of the hotels where amazing just one didnt meet our expectations , there was no restaurants , no shops to walk to, we where stuck in the bush with a poor maintence hotel , I think the agency didnt check the place before they send us there. that experience was not good at ALL , but Trang change us the next day after show her photos of how insane that place is.
in day 8 we found out we should buy our departure flight and actually the DEPARTURE FROM DANANG included in the itinerary was just a taxi to the Airport, that took us by surprise because we were in the middle of the country and we started the tour in Hanoi and Trang new that we had tickets book from Hanoi to Sydney, so that was a HUGE suprise that actually we didnt have departing flight , in the last minute we got tickets.
I guess Kim Kim is better planing for families , otherwise is not worth it, i wish i new this earlier.

It was a great trip, well planned and coordinated by local guides , who had great information and added their personal touch ! Shout out to Brian in Hanoi , Jack on the River cruise and Ruby in Hoi An .
