Where Vietnam’s Soul Meets the River of Nine Dragons

The Mekong Delta is not just a destination — it is Vietnam’s beating heart. Known locally as Cửu Long (“Nine Dragons”), this vast waterway has shaped empires, fed generations, and witnessed some of the most pivotal moments in Vietnamese history: from the ancient Funan Kingdom and Khmer temples to the fierce battles of the Vietnam War and the resilient rebirth of its people.

Legend Travel Group’s Vietnam Tours for the History Mekong are designed for small groups (max 12) and solo travelers who crave authentic, expert-led storytelling while cruising hidden canals, cycling through centuries-old villages, and sharing home-cooked meals with local families. You’ll never pay a single supplement — travel alone, arrive with friends.

Deposit only 10% and pay the balance 30 days before departure — total peace of mind.

All tours include English-speaking historian-guides, comfortable boats, bicycles, homestays where possible, and most meals.
