For such a small country, your Laos tour package seems to be lively and diverse in terms of Laos people, colorfully dressed hill tribes populate the higher elevations while in the lowland river valleys, coconut palms sway over the Buddhist monasteries of the ethnic Lao.

Latest reviews for Laos Tours
Read out the lastest reviews and feedbacks from our guests who have recently backed from their Laos tours.
Overall Laos
It's 30 km from city, good 45 mins journey. We rented a private van thru the hotel at US$60 for party of 4. The series of cascading waterfall in the greens is mind soothing. Entrance fee is 20000 kips. Many nice pics, can swim too. Though its 1.8 m deep in certain sections.
Inside Laos
Make sure you grab the information pamphlet at the entrance because the explanations of the temples and grounds make the experience much more interesting.
Highlights Of Laos
I loved this place, so many Buddha! It’s a great place to wander around, lots of flowers which attracted lots of beautiful butterflies. It’s not very big but there was space to wander without being on top of each other. It cost 15,000 kip each to get in and there were plenty of places to sit in the shade. The top of the pumpkin was a bit scary and the steps going up were steep and narrow. Definitely worth a visit. The cheapest way to get there is to rent a bike, 70,000, apparently tuktuks were asking upwards of 200,000 so we didn’t bother. Lots of lovely temples along the way to look at too.
Laos World Heritages
We hired a car and driver for the day so we could be flexible on what we wanted to do, for how long etc, and not have to ang around for others if sharing a ride. This was our first call of the day.. WOW... its simply stunning. We walked up the path from the car park to the lower pools, and then up past the pools where a few were in swimmig. Changing rooms are here. Then up past the restaurant, we called back there later. Then eventually reached the large fall at the end with the viewpoint on the bridge.. STUNNING.... You can do a loop walk around the top of the falls, but we did not do this. The restaurant serves lovely beers, and sandwiches.. Also located here is the bear sanctuary...We did not go in swimming, and spent 2 hours here.
Essential Laos
This temple is apparently one of the most highly architecturally revered buildings. The main temple gradually unfolds itself, with carvings on each corner. Also the highlight is the royal funeral carriage. You must pay to enter.
Laos Plain of Jars
Good view from top. Not for the faint hearted. Usual vendors selling Budda flowers and birds.
Laos World Heritages
Easy to ride a bicycle from Don Det to Don Khone and back in a few hours as the islands are small. Can see guesthouses and restaurants on the way. We went to Tad Somphamit Waterfalls, another name is Liphi. Roads along the river are soil, not well paved in some parts, having small wooden bridges. Very peaceful. A great way to see local life and nature. Air is fresh but not cold in January, so bring water with you.
Laos Plain of Jars
We have visited sites 1,2,and 3. All three are very different from each other, all amazing. All three sites had been part of the "Secret War" and show the scars. Each has a a unique character: site 1 is open with a trail providing a good overlook of the area. Site 2 is wooded with beautiful old trees shading many of the jars. Site 3 is smaller and also shaded. The special thing with this site is getting there. We were there during rice planting and had to walk the dikes through the rice paddies and were able to watch the farmers working in the paddies. In the future we are hoping to visit other sites throughout the region.
Festival
For those who are deeply interested in cultural and spiritual events, choosing tours and taking part in festivals will be one of the best ways to enjoy holiday.
