About A Kong Travel
Discover the story behind A Kong Travel and meet the passionate team dedicated to creating authentic Vietnamese experiences.
Our Story
A Kong Travel was born from a deep friendship that grew into extended family. Jos Aguiar and Cuong have been friends for many years, sharing countless meals, introducing their families to each other, and developing a bond that transcends cultural boundaries.
Together with Kim Tran (Jos' wife), they combine authentic Vietnamese cultural knowledge with international tourism expertise. What started as friendship evolved into a shared mission: to create meaningful connections between visitors and authentic Vietnamese culture through respectful and genuine travel experiences.
Today, we're proud to be fully operational and ready to welcome travelers from around the world. Our network of passionate local guides and our strong relationships with indigenous communities ensure that every journey with us feels like visiting extended family - authentic, respectful, and unforgettable.
