Mana was a great guide and provided a perfect introduction to Vientiane and Laos. He seems to know everyone in Lao, so he’s also a terrific source for information if you’re journeying beyond Vientiane. Highly recommended.
Time well spent in Vientiane 👍🏻

Great experience that you should never miss when you’re in Vientiane. The only thing you need to know that this tour isn’t 100% walking tour as all excursions required a car ! It was very confusing for us at the beginning were we assumed we need only a drop off by a car to start the tour but we had to take it for the whole trip which cost us extra money. The heat also made it little challenging as well
Great private tour!

We are so glad we found this tour through Expedia! Our guide Mana was excellent - he made our 3-hour walk through Vientiane very pleasant by showing us not only the must-see attractions of the city, such as the beautiful Pha That Laung and the Reclining Buddha, but also a local festival with traditional alms-giving, local joints, and cool places. Mana shared numerous stories about Laos culture and history and many tips that helped us navigate our short stay in the city after the guided tour was over.
