Make memories & friends that last a lifetime (Source: Internet)As the leading organizer of solo traveler group tours in Vietnam and Cambodia, we’ve found that 12 to 18 days is the sweet spot for first-time solo visitors who want to experience the highlights without feeling rushed — and still have time to connect with like-minded travelers in a small group.
12 days → Fast-paced “Best Of” (ideal for limited vacation time)
14–15 days → Most popular choice (perfect balance of culture, nature & relaxation)
16–18 days → Deep-dive experience (includes hidden gems + beach downtime)
All our itineraries are designed for solo travelers joining a group, so you’ll never feel alone — but you keep full independence and only pay a tiny single supplement (or none at all on selected departures).
