Authentik Vietnam

What Authentik Vietnam does

Authentik Vietnam Co., Ltd. is a Hanoi-based local tour operator that designs and sells personalized, private, tailor-made itineraries to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. The company was registered in 2014 under Vietnamese company number 010591826 and holds an international tour operation license (01-611/2014/TCDL-GPLHQT) issued by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism; it operates from a headquarters at 62 Yen Phu Road, Ba Dinh (Hanoi) with a secondary office in Ho Chi Minh City. The core product is a human-led trip-design service in which travelers submit preferences through a website "Free Quote" form or WhatsApp, and a team of English-speaking travel consultants returns a customized itinerary within approximately 24 hours. Underlying technology is a standard content/booking website stack with a content-driven blog, YouTube and Facebook channels, and an online trip-planning form rather than any disclosed proprietary platform or API.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, transactional, and unit-priced: revenue is generated per booking from bespoke private tours, with pricing varying by accommodation tier (homestay, 3-star at $45-65/room/night, 4-star at $65-100, 4-star+ at $100-180, and 5-star above $180), trip duration, activities, and group size. Authentik serves four primary personas — solo travelers, couples, families, and groups of friends — with a secondary "Associations and Clubs" segment, and its customer base is fully retail (individual consumers), not B2B/enterprise. The company is founder-owned (CEO-Founder Ngoc Tu DINH and Co-founder Truong TRAN), with a 12-person team, no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Customer trust is anchored by a 4.9/5 rating across 453 reviews and a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2025, with French and Spanish localized sites indicating international demand sourcing.
