The 10 Best Private Tours in Luang Prabang, Luang Prabang Province

April 7, 2022 Darleen Reid

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the former capital of Laos, and you'll see everything from golden-roofed temples to vestiges of colonial French architecture here. Buddhist monasteries abound in Luang Prabang, and early every morning, monks process through the streets collecting alms (their food for the day). If you want to watch or participate, though, ask your hotel for a brief etiquette lesson first—you have to distribute the food in a specific manner.

My sweet dear Dokmai Because of you, we had unforgettable days in the 3 countries.Everything was very good organized. Congratulations! All the drivers were very careful and good professionals. All the guides were very polite ,very protective ,very professionals. They had patience and they did all of our favours. Two of them: Mrs Kamolpan Pawangkanan [Mam], our guide in Bangkok and Mr Satya, our guide in Siem Reap, angkor temples etc ARE 2 VERY SPECIAL GUIDES, TOP OF THE TOP!!! We got impressed that you were calling us, almost every day, to check if everything was OK. Also I got surprised when you refunded 62 $ because my husband, unfortunately, couldnt come in Cambodia for some activities, because of his busy job. In general, we lived unforgettable moments because of Exotic Laos Travel. Thank you very much for everything Many kisses from the whole 10-people group!!! Best regards Ioanna

For a trip in 2/19 Spent a great afternoon with Kai, who not only showed us some off-the-beaten-track gems but provided great tips to find vegetarian food so we could feel more comfortable exploring and trying things on our Thailand vacation. Loved being able to see a variety of places and the tour was well-paced for a hot chiang mai afternoon but participants should still prepare for a bit of walking. Curious carnivores would also enjoy this tour. Lastly I would recommend that vegetarian/vegans in schedule this tour early in yr trip bc you can put Kai's tips to best use

Nothing special really. If you have been to Halong bay in Vietnam, this artificial lake is nothing. However, if you are in Vientiane, Laos and have a free day it is worth a visit. The trip takes you to the countryside across rice farms and various plantations. A stop at a scenic hydro electric power plant to take a snapshot of a nice view infront of the water locks is recommended. Then on arrival at the lake, you stop at a small jet to take an hour boat ride. Various sizes boats are available. The prices are so cheap. You take a fairly good size boat for an entire family for 150,000 Kip. You pay slightly more for a boat with a toilet onboard. This is for an hour long ride which is so relaxing. You can order lunch and have it on board whilst slowly cruizing around this huge artifial lake. Recommended if you and family or group of friends have a free day whilst in Vientiane, Laos.
