Make friends while you shop (Source: Internet)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.
Most nationalities enjoy 15–45 days visa-free entry or e-visa ($25–$50).
Legend Travel Group handles all visa invitations if needed.
