We designed a very complicated 44 day journey through Vietnam and Cambodia with family joining us for segments of it, Hien was absolutely amazing! We have used the KimKim platform multiple times, hands down, Hien was the best local specialist we have ever used. Before during and after our journey her attention to detail and insight made our trip into a dream come true.

Hotel Reviews
Bespoke Trendy Hotel Hanoi

We loved his hotel in Hanoi! At breakfast there were ambassadors that would walk around that were extremely helpful, the battery in our safe was low and she had the battery changed before we finished breakfast. In addition, all the staff were super friendly and attentive. The rooms were roomy in such a tight neighborhood and we loved the contemporary style. Location was great nice to be off on a semi quiet street. We stayed two times at Bespoke Trendy and wished we would have stayed there a third time instead of the Tirant hotel for our final stay in Hanoi.

The Vespa tour in Hanoi was an absolute blast! Zooming around the city on the back of a Vespa was an amazing way to discover hidden culinary gems. The food was some of the best we've had, and we kept going back to the restaurants we visited on the tour. Truly a highlight for food lovers!

Botum Sakor National Park

Staying at the Cardamom Tented Camp in Cambodia was a moving experience. It was enlightening to see their efforts in protecting the jungle and wildlife. Kayaking directly from the lodge was one of the most memorable experiences of the trip. It was refreshing to see the dedication to conservation. Definitely a must-visit, especially for nature enthusiasts.
