HighlightsofLaos

Discover two of Laos’ cities, one being the cultural capital and the other as an administrative capital in our Highlights of Laos tour. Here you will discover Vientiane, filled with atmospheric temples and riverside eateries while beautiful Luang Prabang reveals elaborate monasteries, colorful markets, and a delightful blend of architecture.

However there is more to the magic of Laos, its true beauty lies in the amiable people. Mingle with the locals on a visit to a family home, play a round of petanque, or befriend a monk for a journey into the true heart of Laos.
This is a private tour and it can start in Vientiane and end in Luang Prabang or vice versa depending on your preference.
