    Why Choose Group Tours on Vietnam Mekong Boats?

    Quiet moments you’ll never forgetQuiet moments you’ll never forget (Source: Internet)

    Legend Travel Group runs daily departures with maximum 12–16 guests per boat – never the crowded 50+ person tourist boats. You’ll cruise quiet backwaters, visit family workshops, cycle through villages, and stay overnight in riverside homestays – all while making friends for life.

    Only 10% deposit required – pay the balance just 30 days before sailing. Keep complete peace of mind!
