From strangers to travel family in 24 hours (Source: Internet)Hanoi – the 1000-year-old capital of Vietnam – is one of Southeast Asia’s safest and most welcoming cities for solo travelers. With its tree-lined boulevards, shimmering Hoan Kiem Lake, bustling Old Quarter, and legendary street food scene, Hanoi offers the perfect mix of culture, history, and human connection.
Every year, tens of thousands of solo travelers (especially women) choose Hanoi as their first stop in Vietnam – and they love it. Legend Travel Group has been running small-group tours here since 2008, with 87 % of our guests traveling alone. You arrive as a solo traveler… you leave with a new travel family.
We take care of everything so you can relax: airport pickup, central 4-star hotels, 24/7 local support, and daily group activities where friendships happen instantly.
