Light one lantern, gain ten friends (Source: Internet)You don’t just want to see Vietnam. You want to feel it.
You want to wake up to the smell of phở simmering on a wood fire, help a H’mong grandma dye indigo cloth, release lanterns with a fisherman’s family in Hoi An, and fall asleep to the sound of traditional đàn bầu music in a 200-year-old wooden house.
That’s exactly what cultural immersion solos do.
And at Legend Travel Group, 75 % of our guests travel alone – meaning you instantly become part of a ready-made family of curious, open-hearted travelers.
