Jul 1 - Jul 16, 2025
What an amazing adventure we had in Vietnam. Huyen planned and organised a truly memorable family holiday. We learnt so much about Vietnam's culture and history. Our tour took us from the north to the south over 16 days. We did a wonderful cruise and kayaking in Halong bay , overnight train which was so fun, rode bikes through local villages , climbed Laying Dragon mountain, span in the fishing coconut boats, made silk lanterns and did a fantastic night food tour on scooters through the streets of Saigon plus lots of different boat trips and so much more!!!!!
The entire trip was superbly organised by Huyen then we were handed over to Doris who could be contacted once in Vietnam , she always replied promptly if needed. We had very knowledgeable guides and safe drivers in each area, Quyet in the north, Mr An in the central region ( Mr An even organised a birthday cake for me) and Richard in Saigon. We would not have been able to achieved so many sights without them. Every time we left an attraction our driver would meet us with an air conditioned van and cold bottles of water.
We also added 3 extra days at a beach resort so we could have some chilled time , this was lovely especially trying out lots of massages at the spa.
A totally wonderful experience from booking to home, we would definitely be booking again with Kimkim and would not hesitate to recommend to our friends and family.
Hotel Reviews
Perfect location in the heart of old town. Great breakfast and evening meals. All had lovely massages when we arrived to help with the air travel.
Very friendly, quiet hotel. Didn’t eat in hotel as it was quiet but a very cheap Grab taxi to the centre for food.
Fabulous trip. Staff were all really fun and attentive. Food really good although the lunch as we came back into harbour not so good but we had not long had a big breakfast on board so didn’t matter. Had an adjoining room with our kids. Very good size rooms. Kayaking tour around Halong Bay was great.
What a fabulous way to travel with my family, Hanoi to Hue. Our guide took us to the carriage and the next guide met us as we got off. Really clean cabin with snacks and drinks. Very comfy little beds with pillow and duvet. Clean toilet and sink for teeth brushing. Guard knocked on our door before arriving in station to make sure we were aware we needed to get off at the right place.
Really big rooms and comfy beds. Good location. Very helpful staff. Lovely breakfast.
Fabulous large room , adjoining with our teenagers. Great location for walking into old town and to the river. Nice swimming pool area. Lovely breakfast and great menu at the bar. Very reasonable for food and drinks.
Great location for exploring. Very friendly. Rooms a bit on the smaller size but we were in the heart of the city and they had everything that we needed in the room. Had a great small brewery bar and Mexican near by and hotel opposite had a wonderful rooftop bar for cocktails in the evening.
Gorgeous hotel on the beach. Felt like heaven after backpacking. Food at the beach restaurant was wonderful. Breakfast had a massive selection of foods on offer. Spa was wonderful, treated myself to daily treatments as very good value.
Activity Reviews
Really loved the bike ride to the farm for a delicious local lunch. Coconut boats were a real highlight.
Loved climbing up the 500 steps at Laying dragon mountain, walking through the beautiful Lotus flowers and the rowing boat trip up the river.
Fabulous evening food tour on scooters . Wonderful food and drinks Riding on the back on the scooters through Saigon was really fun, we were all grinning firm ear to ear. Felt very safe. Make sure you go with an empty tummy as a lot of yummy food to be had on the tour.
