Flexible Itinerary
Upon arrival, you will be met outside the baggage claim area by your guide who will escort you to a waiting vehicle for your transfer to downtown with a brief introduction en route. Your guide will be holding a welcome signboard with the ASIA TOUR ADVISOR LOGO & your name. During the drive your guide will provide an introduction to Vientiane.
Vientiane is the tranquil and timeless capital of Laos with a kaleidoscope of architectural styles and influences ranging from traditional Lao to Thai, Chinese, French, Soviet and American. Discover crumbling French mansions, the golden spires of Pha That Luang, ancient atmospheric temples, bizarre sculptures and the Patuxai Monument, the Arc de Triomphe of Laos. From steaming noodle bars to riverside cafes, Vientiane will surprise and delight you with its quaint placid charm.
After breakfast we explore the charming and laid-back capital of Laos with a city tour. We visit the oldest Buddhist monastery temple in the country - Wat Si Saket – and the former royal temple of Haw Pha Kaeo, built to house the famed Emerald Buddha.
Today it serves as the national museum of religious art. Learn about Laos’ tragic past and present suffering at the COPE Centre, an organization that works with victims of unexploded bombs and mines. Next visit Pha That Luang, the most important monument in Laos and a symbol of both Buddhist religion and Lao sovereignty.
We also stop to view the imposing Patuxay monument - Vientiane’s own Arc de Triomphe. Later in the afternoon enjoy time exploring the hundreds of Hindu and Buddhist sculptures scattered throughout Buddha Park. End the day with a sunset dinner besides the Mekong River.
We leave the capital early and journey north through lush countryside to Vang Vieng. Along the way we visit Ban Keun, famous for its salt extraction plant and a village of local Lao rice wine whiskey distillation. A next stop is the busy and colourful market of Thalat, where local hill tribes come to trade and shop and also visit the archaeological site of Vang Xang that dates back to the 11th century.
Arriving at Vang Vieng, nestled on the banks of the Nam Song River is our delightfully rustic and rural hotel. The remainder of the day offers free time, perhaps opt to explore the local caves or take a bicycle ride through the surrounding countryside.
This morning we explore the famous caves of Tham Jang once used by the local people as a hideout during Chinese invasions. We observe the lifestyles of the local people at Ban Huai Ngai village before making our way further north to the UNESCO World Heritage listed city of Luang Prabang.
Today set off your exploration with a visit to the Royal Palace also known as the National Museum to learn more about the long-lasting history and culture of the region.
Afterwards, pay a visit to Wat Mai, a beautiful temple located nearby Royal Palace and built in the 18th century. It is the largest and most richly decorated of the temples in Luang Prabang.
Afterwards, transfer to the pier and take a long-tailed boat for an upstream cruise. During the cruise, you will be treated a stunning of nature along the river. From the distance you can see limestone cliffs where the hidden Pak Ou Caves are located. The cave is home to thousands of Buddha statues which make the region a revered one. Take your time to explore numerous images hidden in the cave.
Then, make your way back to the city. En-route, stop to visit Ban Xang Hai village to learn more about the making process of the traditional Lao rice whisky. It is a great chance to taste its unique flavor. Move onto Ban Xang Khong village- famous for its wood paper and Lao silk weaving.
Afterwards, we transfer back to hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
We head out of town to a local farm to learn about rice production. After lunch we cruise up the Mekong River to visit the Pak Ou caves crammed with Buddha images of all shapes and sizes, stopping Ban Xanghai village en route to sample local rice wine. Returning to Luang Prabang we stop at Ban Phanom village - known for its hand weaving.
Free at your leisure until being transferred to Luang Prabang Airport for your departure flight.

The Perfect Introduction to Laos
United StatesMy girlfriend and I just returned from the 6-day Highlights of Laos tour, and we loved every minute of it! Our guide, Somphone, was amazing, and he made sure we got the most out of our trip. We explored the bustling city of Vientiane, enjoyed the stunning scenery of Vang Vieng, and soaked up the culture and beauty of Luang Prabang. The tour was the perfect introduction to Laos, and we can’t wait to come back and explore more of this incredible country.

A Refreshing Experience in Laos
AustraliaI recently had the pleasure of taking part in a Highlights of Laos Tour and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It was truly an experience to remember! Our tour began in Vientiane, where we were able to explore the city’s fascinating culture and architecture. Then, we ventured further afield to Vang Vieng, known for its lush natural beauty and laid-back vibe. Finally, Luang Prabang offered us one last chance to take in stunning scenery before heading home. Throughout our journey we experienced friendly hospitality from locals as well as knowledgeable guides who made sure that every moment was both free and enjoyable. I cannot express how thankful I am for my time spent in this amazing destination!

Laos Adventures…. Unique, Wild and Safe with Asia Tour Adviosrr!
AustraliaMy first impession is the communication went well and they even modified some part of the program to match our expectations. The 2-days hiking become a 3-days trip as still have few more days to spend in Luang Prabang. Once we arrive in the office, the guide made his short briefing and the adventure start…from paved road through the city, crossing the river to taste our first dirt trails we ended up our day at 1000m of altitude for a homestay in a Hmong tribe village. Some villagers stayed with us for a lao-lao rice rum. We were informed that there is no electricity in the village!!! Lighten up candles, bottoms up, nice jokes and going to bed and recover our tired day. Our guide was amazing all along the trip. Very patient with is and knowledgeable stopping us in the middle of nowhere with alway something to share about the region and traditions. We had memorable moments during this trip. We definitely recommend them to discover the true Laos.
Well organised trip from start to finish!
GermanyBooked a trip online to Laos for a week in October 2015 with Laos Tour Packages. Booking agent very professional and helpful and designed a great trip from Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. Guides and drivers were great throughout the trip – friendly, on time, knowledgeable. Hotels were all perfect – with a mix of fantastic views, great facilities and good service. Loved our trip to Laos – and all made so much easier by a well run package tour.

HungaryI have enjoyed trip to Laos in 6 days “Vientiane to Luang Prabang via Vang Vieng – 7 days/6 nights. The itinerary was excellent. Ms. Duong answer quickly all our question We loved both areas and would have liked to spend more time in each. The drive from Vientiane to Vang Vieng is extremely difficult, filled with twists and turns, and washed out road, but we enjoyed the scenery and glimpses of local life and would not have changed it. Accommodations and meals were excellent, as were all tours and activities included. We did add an elephant ride and feeding the monks which I would strongly recommend.

Amazing tour guide with wonderful lanscape
AustraliaExpectations fulfilled. Just keep an open mind and go with the flow. Laos will embrace you with delicious food, smiling people and beautiful landscapes. Never forgetting that nothing would be possible without our lovely tour guide, who made everything perfectly well. He was the highlight of our trip, with amazing sense of humor, indisputable knowledge and sweet kindness. Can’t wait to do it again!
