Fabulous trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos

Vietnam | Feb 22 - Mar 11, 2024

We just returned from our trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Loas and had a fabulous time! For the trip planning, we worked with Trang to develop the core itinerary, such as the cities that we'd be visiting and the popular sites in each and then we adjusted and added activities to fit our preferences. Trang was very responsive to our requests and typically responded to our inquiries within the day which we appreciated. Having a private tour with only four people was so nice. We never had to wait for people or stand in long lines (which we appreciated since it was very hot) and it was easy as a group of five to get in and out of the sights. We had a local guide in every city who met us at the airport along with a driver. Everyone of our guides (Long, Dao, Sen, Bao and Loan) were very personable, and knowledgeable about all of the sites, the history of the area as well as introduced us to the culture and provided us with the local perspective. When our stay was done, the guide and driver dropped us at the airport or train station to head to our next destination. We felt that each guide was personally interested in making our visit fun and memorable. With the exception of a couple of unscheduled afternoons and evenings (which allowed us to explore the city on our own), Trang and KimKim made all of our arrangements, we just had to show up and be ready for the day's experiences.

Having Trang and the KimKim connection was a real 'bonus' when one person in our group had an issue with their VISA and the airline would not let them board the plan until it was resolved. With one call to Trang, she contacted the Vietnam Immigration Office and provided us with a letter that allowed the person to board the plane to Vietnam and a corrected VISA was waiting for them when we landed. It was stressful; however, Trang resolved the issue quickly. We were grateful to be able to call Trang, an experienced travel guide who lived in the same country to advocate on our behalf.

We would recommend KimKim to anyone for a fabulous time and just wants to show up and leave the trip planning and details to someone else. Thank you Trang and KimKim for the great time in Indochina,
