The Perfect Journey for Solo Travelers Seeking Deep Connection

Traveling from Vietnam to Angkor is more than a border crossing — it is stepping into the heart of the ancient Khmer Empire. Starting in vibrant Ho Chi Minh City or charming Hanoi, you’ll fly or travel overland to Siem Reap, home of Angkor Wat — the world’s largest religious monument and a UNESCO masterpiece. This journey blends Vietnam’s bustling energy with Cambodia’s serene spirituality, creating an unforgettable cultural immersion.

Legend Travel Group specializes in small-group tours designed for solo travelers. You’ll never travel alone — you’ll join a friendly group of like-minded explorers, share sunrise moments at Angkor Wat, enjoy authentic Khmer dinners, and experience Apsara dance performances together. Best of all: deposit only 10% and pay the balance 30 days before departure — complete peace of mind.

Whether you’re discovering Vietnam’s floating markets before crossing into Cambodia, or combining both countries in one seamless itinerary, our Vietnam Tours and Cambodia Tours deliver authentic, sustainable, and deeply moving experiences.

• Remove shoes and hats inside temple sanctuaries

• Ask permission before photographing monks or locals

• Keep your voice low in sacred spaces

• Use both hands when giving or receiving (money, tickets, food)

Tip from Tony Bùi: “A simple smile and ‘arkun’ (thank you in Khmer) opens every door in Cambodia — and creates lifelong memories.”
