Laos Tours
Heritage Road Of Laos
8 days to fully explore the Heritage Cities in Laos with Luang Pra Bang and Wat Phou in Pakse down to the south of Laos.
Romantic Mekong River
Surrounded by thickly forested mountains and situated at the confluence of the Khan and Mekong Rivers, Luang Prabang has a tranquil, old world charm rarely found in Asia today. This fascinating town was the capital of the Lane Xang (million elephants) kingdom until the mid-sixteenth century. In colonial times it served as a provincial headquarters of the north. The legacy of the European presence here – well preserved French architecture and careful street planning – has blended delightfully with more than 30 gilded Buddhist temples to create a town rich in atmosphere and history.
Capital Vientiane to Luang Prabang
This delightfully friendly capital, studded with crumbling French mansions, bougainvillea-blooming streets and steaming noodle stalls, is somewhere between a big town and a diminutive city; the kind of place you might find a Graham Greene protagonist. Its conveniently compact travellers’ enclave is based around Nam Phu, the Mekong riverside and Setthariat and Samsenthai streets. Full of things to see, from Buddha Park to the Morning market and an impossibly rich selection of international cuisine – most pointedly French – you’ll find yourself slowly won over by the easy charms of this evolving backwater. The city may reveal its beauty less readily than Luang Prabang, but spend a few days visiting its unusual sights, sampling its excellent food and enjoying a Beer Lao at sunset by the river, and you’ll soon feel at home here.

Classic Vientiane
Vientiane may be the capital of Laos but it is a essentially a sleepy town with wide boulevards thanks to a period of French occupation, and is home to some great cafes and bakeries.

Seuang River Experience for Families

Your accommodation will be in the simple houses of your host family, where you will cook meals alongside them. Build bamboo rafts and float downriver, visit a local school and participate in fun games arranged by the village and our staff. At the end of your stay experience a special ‘Baci’ blessing ceremony by the villagers. This is a truly authentic insight into the life of Laos’ ethnic minorities.
