What To Expect

Wat Si Saket

Take a sightseeing tour of Vientiane and visit religious museums of Wat Sisaket, the oldest temple to have survived from the Siamese war of 1828. Amazingly, its cloister contains more than 8,000 Buddha statues like Ho Prakeo, Pra Keo, and the Emerald Buddha statue.

Pha That Luang

Then, head over to the Luang Stupa, the single most important monument in Laos. It was built to cover the original small stupa containing a piece of the chest bone of Buddha. The Luang serves as the main and symbolic stupa in Laos. It's also the national symbol and is recognized throughout the world. In addition to being the biggest stupa in Laos, the Luang Stupa is considered to be a gathering place for national Buddhism ceremonies

The guide was fantastic. The sites were less than enjoyable. And it was hot and I didn’t wanna climb stairs in the heat. He did the best he could with what he had to work with (me).
Covered all the key sites but poor value for money.

The tour was something of a disappointment especially at a price double that of a similar tour in Phnom Penh. The guide spoke adequate English but we had to tease information from him throughout the tour. The tour included lunch (a bowl of Pho costing 3 dollars) adding to a sense of being ripped off.
Not to be done

Really great day with a fantastic guide Khong who shared his knowledge and had a great energy and passion for his city and all it has to offer. We went to lots of different places and he told me special facts I wouldn’t have known without him. The lunch spot was delicious.
Wonderful Guide, Wonderful City tour

On our first trip to Laos we weren’t sure what to expect. The Buddha Park is a gorgeous combination of Buddhist and Hindu sculpture and fabulous flowers. Chansay was not only an incredibly patient guide with all of our questions but he also has a fine sense of humor making for a relaxed and fun day. We did everything listed on the itinerary and enjoyed a delicious lunch. If he were available for more of our stay we would happily book him. I highly recommend this tour as a terrific way to learn about Vientiane.
Great
