Review of Luang Prabang’s UNESCO highlights tour, with temples, alms giving, Royal Palace, Phousi Hill, and Kuang Si Falls.
“Our guide was excellent and so informative, Really great guy.”
Kayak the Nam Song, tube through caves, enjoy a banana-leaf BBQ, and explore Vang Vieng on this lively five-hour adventure.
“Overall the tour was good. The small rapids are exciting. Transport in an open Tuktuk was very cold in the morning, so bring something extra to wear. My tour was supposed to be 7 hours but we were rushed all day and I was back an hour early. I would have like to have more breaks between all the activities. If the Ziplining is not included in your package you can buy it for about 15$ there. Otherwise you will have to wait for all Zipliners around 40min. But it was fun. The tubing in the cave is a 10min activity. All in all a nice day and well organised,…”
