Vietnam Tours for Solo Travelers
Solo travelers find real connection on our small group tours through Vietnam. Our 9-day northern routes consistently get great feedback - solo guests love the instant community feel, starting with street food tours in Hanoi and rickshaw rides through the old quarter. Many pick the longer 12-day journeys that include overnight trains, creating natural bonding time with fellow travelers. The Ha Long Bay cruise brings solo travelers together for kayaking, cave exploration and sunset drinks on deck. Our guests particularly enjoy the Ninh Binh homestays where single travelers quickly become part of the local family scene. These tours include enough free time to explore independently while keeping the security and social aspects of group travel.

What people love about touring Vietnam solo
- Solo-ish Vietnam
The experience was amazing , the size of the group was perfect , the tours were interesting but some of them were unecessary in my opinion . I would have loved more leisure time since the tour was super intense we didn’t get to rest properly nor to have enough amount of sleep . The only reason I didn’t give a 5 stars is beacause of the two last days that to Mekong delta where there was a lot of travelling for not too much . I would have preferred to just spend a day nearby and go back to Ho Chi Minh and maybe one more day in hue or hoi an . But overall it was An amazing experience and I would travel with G adventure again no doubt about it . Thank you
- Vietnam for Solo Travellers

An amazing and a well planned tour for 10 days.
