No lonely meals on our Vietnam Tours (Source: Internet)When you’re exploring Vietnam alone, there’s no travel buddy to remind you to drink water, check for mosquitoes, or spot when you’re getting sunburnt. That’s why thousands of solo travelers every year choose Legend Travel Group – because our Vietnam Tours are built from day one with solo health & safety in mind.
We include 24/7 emergency support, English-speaking leaders trained in first aid, small groups (max 12), and daily wellness checks – all while keeping the fun, freedom, and friendships that solo travelers love.
Vaccinations & Pre-Trip Prep
Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, Tetanus-Diphtheria, Rabies (recommended for longer stays)
Japanese Encephalitis if visiting rural areas (our Northern Vietnam & Mekong tours)
No mandatory vaccines, but we send every solo guest a personalised checklist 60 days before departure.
Mosquito Defense = Dengue Defense
Use 30–50% DEET or Picaridin every dawn & dusk
Sleep in air-conditioned or fan-cooled rooms (all Legend Travel Group hotels & homestays meet this standard)
Wear light-coloured long sleeves/pants on evening street-food walks.
Hydration – The Solo Traveler’s Best Friend
Drink 3–4 litres of water daily (we provide reusable bottles + free refills on every tour)
Add oral rehydration salts when sweating heavily (included in every Legend medical kit).
Street Food – Eat Like a Local, Stay Healthy Like a Pro
Choose busy stalls (fast turnover = fresh food)
Watch food being cooked in front of you
Avoid raw salads & peeled fruit unless you peel it yourself
Our leaders know the safest, most delicious spots – no guesswork!
Sun & Heat Protection
SPF 50+ waterproof sunscreen, reapply every 2 hours
Wide-brim hat + sunglasses (we gift a Legend Travel Group buff to every solo guest)
Schedule outdoor activities before 11 AM or after 3 PM when possible.

Never ride without an International Driving Permit + helmet
Better option: let our private drivers handle everything while you relax.
