Ashley Nguyen

I was born and grown in Hanoi - the capital of Vietnam. I have always been interested in travel and discovering other cultures and places. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a tour guide when I get older. Now I am a travel consultant— not exactly the same thing, but very close! Being a consultant has also let me discover more places and help people to organize trips not only in Vietnam but also in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, the countries which I am continuously exploring and feel a big passion for.
I am feeling happy to share with my clients my knowledge and experience of traveling and helping them to enjoy Indochina's beautiful landscapes, nice & friendly local people, delicious cuisine, rich culture, and history.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We offer a wide range of trips from relaxing beach outbreaks to trekking in the jungles throughout Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. Our tour types include, but are not limited to:
- Classic and culture tours
- Family vacations
- Honeymoon trips
- Adventure tours
- Foodie tours
- Wellness
- Day trips and excursions
- MICE"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I wanted to be involved in travel since I was a child when I dreamed to become a tour guide. But one day, when I was traveling with my best friend to Da Nang, I was responsible for organizing our trip. At that time, I realized that I would love to become a Travel Consultant. I realized that I have a passion for making the entire holiday and being more involved in the organization process. And I still could meet with my clients and share with them my experience and listen to their travel stories.
Four years since the first time, I worked as a Travel Consultant, my clients are always happy when arranging services with me from the first time I contacted them until when they're back home. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"It was the first time I traveled to Sapa in 2017, the mountain region of Northern Vietnam. At that time it hasn't been a hot tourist spot and all the infrastructure was under construction. Many roads and hotels were not in good condition yet. I stayed in a hotel with a central location, based on the recommendations on the internet. It was right in the middle of the construction and far from the villages. Each day I had to travel a lot to visit beautiful places and get far from the dust of construction. I still enjoyed the trip, but it was the time when I realized how important it is to make a deeper search before the trip and get information from one who has first-hand knowledge. It was the first time I realized how important a travel consultant's work is, and I always remember this experience as a motivation and inspiration for me to serve my clients to make sure their travel experience will be smooth and joyful.

Mr Minh who took me on a food tour in the magical town of Hoi An and Mr Hays Vietnamese cooking class, a must for every visitor. Another highlight, the Cu Chi Tunnels & Ho Chi Minh City Tour with Ms Han and the day trip to the Mekong Delta with Ms Linh. You should not miss the Saigon Vespa tour after dark... super exciting, and I was so lucky to have Ms Linh at my side, we always had a pool position at the traffic lights ;-). Last but not least, Mrs Marada in Siem Reap, Cambodia, who had an answer to any question you asked her about the magical place of Angkor Wat and its surrounding temples.
I also have to mention all of our drivers who always drove carefully, and all of the cars were in perfect condition.
And of course, not to forget kimkim.com... I love the concept and will always come back to book further trips with you!

I did this trip solo for the first time and loved having someone on the other end to help recommend local places to eat or things to do during my down time. I also loved having a driver to meet me at every event I did - got me to the airport, picked me up at the airport, took me on tours - it was amazing! And it's so great to have someone who knows the country. I will be using them for all my trips going forward (I told everyone on my trip about them!)

Ashley was wonderfully responsive and helpful throughout, from the planning stage to the last day of the holiday. She would respond to messages and questions quickly and helpfully and would send us reminders of meeting times and the names of our drivers for each new destination. The organisation was flawless and seamless. At each destination in a complex itinerary we would be met with guides who were impressively knowledgeable as well as friendly and helpful. I guess Johnny stood out as exceptional; he showed us the Cu Chi tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. He fleshed out our understanding of the Vietnam war (locally known as the ‘American war’) with many human stories of how individuals lived through it. Also, he was such good company! Funny, warm hearted and erudite. But actually every guide was great. Even Ms Huong who only spent a few hours with us, picking us up from the airport on the last day, took the trouble to find out our plans and gave us much useful advice about where to do the shopping we planned. It was actually a privilege to get to know these guides as their stories really gave us an insight into the life and culture of Vietnam and Cambodia.

Just returned from an 8 day trip planned via KimKim to Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay) and could not recommend KimKim and Realistic Asia’s tours more highly. This was my husband and my first time taking an entirely “tour guided” vacation, as we typically plan and organize everything ourselves. To be honest, when researching KimKim tours, I found mixed reviews (mostly due to covid and changes it forced upon past clients), but after filling out the initial query into the trip, I felt Ashley and the AI questionnaire had a great grasp on the type of travelers we were and our expectations for a private, 2 person tour that focused on nature, getting to know local people and food. When we received the final quote, the price was not much more than if we were to plan it ourselves, but allowed us to sit back and enjoy rather than deal with the stresses of booking and organizing everything before and during the trip. We did food tours, treks through rice fields, visits with local farmers, tastings of rice wine and tea, train rides, cave tours, cooking lessons, and boat cruises…all of which were scheduled exactly as promised- away from the beaten path, individualized and to our level of care and quality. Ashley checked on us throughout the trip and was prompt in replying to any questions or concerns about the trip before and while it was happening. I would definitely travel through KimKim in the future and have no problem recommending them to others who are looking for a reliable, personalized, and responsive agency to make your next dream vacation become a reality.

As far as overnight train rides go, this is one of the most comfortable I’ve been on in SE Asia. The sheets and pillows were very clean and the complimentary snacks and drinks were appreciated. The room was a bit cold in the winter months, but manageable. The rooms were very quiet and we couldn’t hear anyone once they were all in their rooms. The shared bathrooms were surprisingly clean, even at the end of the long journey and I would compare to any average airplane bathroom on a long flight. Stocked with toilet paper and soap as well.

Beautiful grounds and architectural details at this hotel. Unfortunately it was extremely foggy our entire stay, but even despite that, the ambiance was incredible. Very kind and caring staff who were attentive and caring in their interactions. The room was large and the bed was a dream to sleep in. Bathroom could use some more ventilation and the drain in the bathtub was very slow. Food at breakfast was amazing and we were spoiled for choice of delicious options. The spa experience was one of a kind and we wished we had more time to enjoy the amazing facilities there- hot and cool plunge pools, sauna, herbal bath and excellent massages. We took the free shuttle into the city center, which was a short trip and always on time. Would highly recommend this hotel as a peaceful and gorgeous spot to start and end your days when exploring Sapa.

All activities were run to plan and on time. The boat furnishings, floors and decor were a bit run down, and some repairs and updates would be helpful, but overall a beautiful boat and setting to spend a night. Our room was by far the best part! It was HUGE for a cruise and had an amazing bathroom with large rain shower, beautiful soaking run by the window, lounge chairs on our private deck and fabulous Japanese toilets. The bed was large and comfy and the heating worked efficiently for us during the cold nights. We had a spa treatment which was nice, although the space was also a bit musty and could use some updates to decor.

Day Trip to Ba Vi Countryside & Cooking Class
Hanoi

Wonderful variety of activities, scenery and authentic experiences with local people. We enjoyed tasting the rice wine, tea, and SO MUCH food local food (for vegetarians and non). While we didn’t get to ride bikes due to rain, we didn’t feel like that diluted the trip. Our guide was kind, chatty, and helped us in translating and playing games or asking questions with our hosts at each spot. We felt very welcome and while I know there are other tourists who do come to this area, we felt like we were the only ones there and only saw one other small group of expats at lunch. We are grateful for this tour and the insight it gave us into local daily life in the countryside.

Half day Taphin red Dao hill tribe village
Sapa

The walk was mostly on paved roads and our guide was very quiet on the first day. We were challenged to know what to ask and weren’t provided a lot of information. The walk was peaceful and we did meet some local woman artisans, but we felt like their goods were machine made, wrapped in plastic for loads of tourists, and it didn’t quite feel authentic other than seeing one of their homes briefly. We would have rather learned how to make something with them or played games with the local kids than be haggled to buy something most of the walk.

Quality of Experience
The location seemed a bit lack luster. Just walking on a road people drive on most of the time.
Food
Excellent lunch and variety of local options to try
Guides, Drivers and Staff
First day our guide was very quiet and shy. We didn’t feel her as chatty so seemed less knowledgeable than other guides we’ve had.
Transport
We were told that we didn’t have a driver to take us back to the hotel after lunch. After questioning this, we were told actually never mind and that it could be arranged, but my husband could not leave his bag in the van during lunch because our driver may change.
Sapa Trekking & Sightseeing
Sapa

A great day of trekking through the countryside and enjoying the beauty of the rice paddies. It was extremely muddy, so I appreciated our guide’s suggestion to rent rain boots for the day’s excursion. The first two villages of the hikes were east walks on paved roads and footpaths, but hardly anyone except us out walking. The walk to the last village was through the rice paddies and very challenging to navigate in the thick mud and hills. Two very capable and kind local women held my hand through much of this section of the trek and saved me many times from face-planting into the mud! Our guide seemed more relaxed than the previous day which made for a more enjoyable, fun experience.

Dining at Comet restaurant (Aurora Hanoi hotel)
Hanoi

Had NYE dinner here. Excellent views of the city. Upon entering, we were seated right next to another couple even though there were two top tables available across the room. We asked to be seated there instead for our privacy and the other couples. We were told this was not possible after much discussion. When ordering a bottle of wine, we were brought the wrong bottle that was not on the menu and told it was the only one. My husband went to ask management about it, as the service staff were not able to explain the situation. We ended up ordering beer and wine by the glass instead. The vegetarian food was extremely plentiful but it was all brought out at once so much of it was cold before I could eat it. My husband, on the other hand, was only brought one dish and a salad, which seemed miserly compared to all of the vegetarian dishes I was brought. We had to leave the table multiple times to find staff and order more drinks or ask for plates to be cleared. Overall, it was an average meal. The staff were trying but they seemed overwhelmed and inattentive for such a big night of celebrations.

Quality of Experience
Badly timed dishes, staff who were inattentive and not knowledgeable about the menu.
Food
Dark & Bright Cave - Halong Bay - Hanoi (Era)
Ha Long Bay

Beautiful but a very short experience. The “dark” cave was closed so we only toured the “light” cave which was not big. The rower was amazing and worked so hard. Despite the rain and fog, it was still peaceful and gorgeous. Our tour took us about ten minutes earlier than other boats did and it made a HUGE difference to be the first ones out on the water. When we returned, the dock was crammed with tourists. Enjoyable but i would have liked a longer ride and to have seen more than one small cave.

Mr Tu, our tour guide took us to wonderful places and helped us experience the life of the local people in very unique ways. It was real fun travelling with Tu, he explained all we wanted to know about history and culture, and was extremely flexible when we had special requests to explore & try things outside the itinerary - all to ensure we get the most out of our trip! Highlights of our trip: Pu Loung trekking and village tour, boat rides, Hoi An trip, cooking class with Madam Ai. We highly recommend it all!

Think the offer of hotels should not be made based on a global budget announced my the client … the offer should include always hotels with more stars. Almost always with a small increase of price the client can obtain a better hotel.. If I say 4 stars you should include also some with 5 stars… and the client decide.

She had provided a great itinerary originally and answered my questions in a timely fashion so that I felt really good about booking the trip.

The trip itself was fantastic because of all of the work Ashley had done and the great guides Kim Kim provided. At every destination, the guides and drivers were there to greet me. The hotels met or exceeded my standards. The amount of time I spent in each destination was "just right".

Both of my guides in Bangkok (Tanny) & Chiang Mai (Rung) made my visit to both places very special. They taught me about the culture, introduced me to new foods, and shared with me the history of their cities.

The entire trip was memorable, but some of the highlights were:
-evening food tour in Bangkok
-floating market & railroad market
-feeding & cleaning the elephants at an elephant sanctuary
-relaxing on a beautiful beach

I highly recommend using Kim Kim for traveling to Thailand.

Hotel Reviews
True Siam Rangnam Hotel
Phayathai, Rajthevee, Province

The bed is comfortable and the rooms are very quiet so you'll get a great nights sleep. I didn't spend much time in the hotel other than for spending the night, so it was great for that purpose. There are also several options for massages and eating within walking distance. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe staying at the hotel and walking in the area by the hotel in the evenings. The rooms are pretty basic and the breakfast has several options and the food was okay. You have to provide a 1000 Baht Cash deposit upon check-out, which was not something I had expected or have ever been asked to do at other hotels.

Cute hotel and room with comfortable bed. Location was great for walking to restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and massages. Great breakfast spread in the morning. Lovely common areas to hang out in (outside, inside, and pool). Felt very safe as a solo traveler walking in the day & evening to restaurants, shops and massages. Recommend asking for a room that is not facing the front of the hotel because the street can get a little noisy during the night.

Phi Phi Natural Resort

If you are looking for a beautiful, relaxing get away off the beaten path for a couple of days, this is a great choice. beautiful setting, it is located at the northern most point of Phi Phi. I loved the look and set-up of the room and direct access to the water. Comfortable bed and very quiet - great night sleep. The breakfast options in the morning are great. The staff was eager to help and made sure you were on time for excursions and pick-ups. There is a dive shop nearby if you plan to do diving (but no diving on thursdays). the resort is somewhat remote, but you can walk to Phi Phi village (highly recommend & about 40 minutes) for additional restaurant and massage options and limited shopping). You can take boats to Tonsai, but the less expensive option has a limited schedule and the long tails are somewhat expensive. I did the 6 hour island tour and it was not worth it (should have done more research on scheduled a different tour in Tonsai). Restaurant options are limited and the hotel restaurant is relatively expensive (lots of food choices and okay, not great). Would not recommend the massage services provided at Erawan.
