What To Expect
Royal Palace Museum
The Royal Palace in Luang Prabang also known as “Haw Kham” and translated to “Golden Palace” was once Laos’ Royal Palace. The former Royal Palace is located on the banks of the Mekong River and faces the Mount Phousi. The palace houses a lot of historical items with interesting stories behind. The Royal palace is worth a visit, and you will learn more about Lao history and culture.

Great orientation of the town & places to see
Mike B,Feb 28, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Like a lot of city or town tours they are all about orientation and seeing the highlights rather than wandering round or attempting to do so on your own. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and clearly very passionate about where he lives and the history of the town. We covered the Palace, multiple temples, the markets and many cafes and restaurants along with a great coffee stop with a Mekong River view before climbing the steps to the Mount Phousi. Like all of the tours we have done in Laos if you wait till you get there you can book them for significantly less so long as you have the flexibility on days, we don’t so booked around our timescale. Luang Prabang was probably the smallest one we have done, but that doesn’t take away from having a good local guide show you round and our man, whose name I have unfortunately forgot so added a photo was top drawer.
Lovely tour. A great way to sample...

5.00Lovely tour. A great way to sample some of the dazzling sights of Luang Prabang. Mr Vong, our guide, was very knowledgeable and took pride in showing us a bit of his country and people. Bravo Indo china was very responsive to our needs and customised the tour as we were travelling with our 3 year old. Great lunch at one of the prettiest locations that we have came across yet. A must do
