Amazing trip to Vietnam and Cambodia

Jan 25 - Feb 14, 2026
We just returned from an exceptional trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and we were so thankful for Kimkim every step of the way. Ashley, our travel consultant from Realistic Asia, was a godsend. She was so patient and helpful in the planning process - we wondered if she ever slept because her responses were so immediate. Once we were in SE Asia, she assisted us in every way and kept the lines of communication consistently open. Mind you, everything went so smoothly that there were practically no issues to resolve. Highlights of our trip were: day trip to Ninh Binh, food tours in Hanoi and Siem Reap, Hoi An, home dining in Hue, Mekong Delta tour, our stay in Phu Quoc, temples in Siem Reap. As a former global studies teacher, I also greatly appreciated the many connections to the Vietnam War and Cambodian Khmer Rouge era. Our expert guides throughout taught us a great deal about the history and culture of these beautiful countries, but we especially enjoyed learning about their lives and the everyday lives of people there. This trip was so memorable and well planned. Hats off to Ashley and Kimkim.

Activity Reviews
Loved this activity so much. Our hosts were wonderful and our guide was excellent.
This was a good day - nice to get out of the city and see the countryside. Really good guide too.
Loved our guide. Temples were amazing
Really fun. Interesting food! Again, loved our guide Phirob.
Our guide T was very helpful on our first day there.
Great guide, super fun group. We really had a great day.
Especially liked the Ho Chi Minh complex and Hoa Lo Prison Museum
Really liked our guide on this excursion.
Boarding and disembarking were fine. Cave excursion was okay. Ha Long Bay is beautiful, but you're basically looking at a bunch of other cruise ships. Also, the water was visibly polluted so swimming was out of the question. We did appreciate the ship we were on - very nice.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, but we had to cut this tour short because of illness.
Our guide was a last-minute replacement for the original guide assigned. He was underwhelming. We all had problems understanding him and he was a bit disorganized. Very sweet though. The Imperial Palace and the War Remnants Museum were the best parts of the tour.
Great guide - fun half day tour.
Very interesting half day tour!
Great snorkeling and fun fishing. The meal was yummy too. This excursion was a bit different than how it was described.
