What to expect
Luang Prabang is a city that is rich in cultural significance to Lao people, full of some of the most breathtaking historical and religious sites in the country. A convenient hotel pickup will take you from your hotel to a nearby morning market where you can take a look at the selection of fresh fish and vegetables, as well as medicinal plants. From there, you'll make your way to the Wat Mai Suwannaphumaram Monastery, built in the late 18th century, followed by the Royal Palace Museum, which was once the official royal residence before it was converted to a museum in 1976. Then you'll visit Wat Choumkhong, Wat Xieng Muan and a Traditional Lao Wooden House known as the Heuan Chan Heritage Museum where you'll learn about the architecture of Traditional Houses in Luang Prabang’s past. Your next stops are Melon Stupa and the renowned World Heritage House - the Wat Pak Khan, then you'll make your way to Wat Sen and end your tour at the Royal Palace before being dropped off at your hotel.
Reviews
Our tour, Jet, was such a lovely companion to have! He was knowledgeable and patient and accommodating. The tour itself is quite quiet and lowkey, but Luang Prabang isn't a huge place lol. Highly recommend!
It was too hot midday, under the strong sunshine, we had to listen the explain. The guide used to get heat weather but not for us. Before the start the explain, find a shade or explain inside. And midday visiting 4 temples was too hard to us. The guide should have taken to us the museum at the midday is better idea , I guess.
Nice tour guide who shares about Laos history. Detailing and mosaics motifs used in the architectures impress.
Our guide Mr Anong was fantastic! Very good explanation and take good care of us!
Khun Poot is very nice. Thank u for your service. He is very informative.
Luang Prabang has many interesting archaeological sites. This activity will take you to see those important places. The guide explains the stories in great detail.
It turns out my wife and I were the only participant in the tour. Our guide (Mr. Xoy) arrived in the hotel. Apparently he came from a poor family in the remote province, was sent by his father to be a monk in the province, and fortunately he was later transferred to one of best temples in Luang Prabang. After finishing the equivalent of high school, he stopped being a monk to study in the university (while working part-time to support himself). Thus after university graduation, he became a guide, but goes back to farming during the lean tourist season. I appreciated the insights I got from him, with respect to religion and the lifestyle and social values of the typical Laotian man-in-the-street. I learned more about the ordinary Laotian people in a half-day of interacting with him, then I did from my entire week of visiting the usual tourist places.
Good experience although reaching organizer before the tour was hard
Had a pretty good guide for this trip. sorry I forgot his name but his Pict is in the photos. trip was educational, and the temples were dazzling and beautiful. interesting stories told to us about the tree of life at Wat Xiengthong. Also visited the palace and was all in all an excellent visit to see the main sights of Luang Prabang.
1 of the best tour guides Ohn from Nova tours. Very interesting tour. Recommend doing it.
