Hoi An Ancient Town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is one of the safest and most welcoming destinations in Vietnam for solo travelers. With its lantern-lit streets, friendly locals, and relaxed atmosphere, Hoi An consistently ranks among the top solo-friendly towns in Southeast Asia. Legend Travel Group has been bringing solo travelers here for over 15 years, and our carefully designed Vietnam Tours ensure you experience Hoi An’s magic while staying completely safe and connected with like-minded adventurers.

Whether you’re wandering the colorful old town at night, cycling through rice fields, or joining a lantern-making workshop, our group tours for solo travelers mean you’re never truly alone – yet you keep all the freedom of independent travel.
