    A Practical, Cultural, and Sustainable Travel Essential

    Ho Chi Minh City’s legendary markets are the beating heart of Vietnamese daily life: Ben Thanh, Binh Tay, Tan Dinh, and hidden local wet markets burst with color, aroma, and energy. For solo travelers, exploring these markets in a small group is the safest, most authentic, and fun way to dive into local culture, taste street food, haggle for souvenirs, and make new friends along the way.

    Legend Travel Group designs its Vietnam Tours specifically for solo travelers: you’ll join a welcoming group of like-minded explorers, share laughs over phở and cà phê sữa đá, and enjoy flexible payments — only 10% deposit, balance 30 days before departure — for complete peace of mind.

    Whether you’re wandering the lantern-lit aisles of Ben Thanh at night or discovering hidden stalls in District 4, our group market tours turn every shopping stop into a cultural adventure.

    Essential Tips for Group Market Exploration in Ho Chi Minh City

    1. Visa & Entry (Almost) No Hassle

    • Most nationalities enjoy 15–45 days visa-free entry or e-visa ($25–$50).

    • Legend Travel Group handles all visa invitations if needed.

    3. Cultural Etiquette at Markets

    • Greet vendors with “Xin chào” and a smile.

    • Always ask permission before photographing people.

    • Bargaining is expected — start at 50% of the quoted price and meet in the middle with a laugh.

    • Carry small notes (10,000–50,000 VND) — vendors love it and you’ll get better prices.

    4. Safety Tips for Group Market Tours

    • Stay with your group and guide (pickpockets love distracted tourists).

    • Use a cross-body bag or money belt.

    • Drink only bottled water provided by your tour.

    • Wear comfortable closed shoes — markets can be slippery.

    Practical Tips for Group Market Travel in Ho Chi Minh City

    Adventure starts togetherAdventure starts together (Source: Internet)
    • Book early — small groups fill fast, especially sunrise tours.

    • Wear light, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes.

    • Bring a reusable shopping bag — plastic bags cost extra.

    • Learn three magic words: “Bao nhiêu?” (How much?), “Giảm chút?” (Can discount?), “Cảm ơn!” (Thank you!).

    • Stay hydrated — your guide always carries cold water.

    • Don’t carry your passport — a photocopy + hotel card is enough.
