5.00We had an incredible experience with KONG Tours Vietnam—from the smooth airport transfer to the immersive tours. The communication (via WhatsApp) was prompt and friendly, and the pricing beat what our hotel offered We took the Hoi An Countryside tour, complete with a coconut basket ride, pottery village, and a tasty local lunch—absolutely delightful We ended the day with a delicious meal at Firefly Restaurant—friendly atmosphere and some of the best food we had in Hoi An Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hoi An—friendly service, well-organized tours, and great value!"

5.00We have spent only 2 weeks here and have used Kong Tours throughout our stay. He has been so helpful and friendly, with suggestions and recommendations for sights. His tours are immaculate and drivers are well presented. From handling all your bags, to opening doors to water on trips. Please do yourself a favour and use Kong Tour's Vietnam
Great day

5.00Well I can not speak highly enough about the activities organised by Kong tours. My favourite moment was watching my wife getting on a buffalo, along with the laughter of the coconut boat ride.
Awesome trip

5.00Great Mix of Culture and Fun This tour was a fantastic way to experience the local culture and scenery. Marble Mountain was beautiful with its caves, temples, and views. The buffalo ride through the rice fields was a unique and authentic experience. The basket boat ride was fun, interactive, and a great way to see how locals live and fish. Well-organised and definitely worth it!

5.00Excellent day with Kong, fun, brilliant English food was AMAZING at fire fly restaurant. Coconut boats was fun, glad we chose to go early, would have been crazy later in the morning. Lantern making was fun and easy. Coffee place is MUST for any coffee lovers.Egg and salt coffee was yummo! Was great to be able to do a private tour by ourselves.
