★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 57 reviews · from $30

Review of Luang Prabang’s half-day small-group tour, including alms giving, temples, the Royal Palace, Mount Phousi, cost, and practical tips.

“Tour guide and driver was very efficient. Itenirary is decent. Took my sweet time climbing Mount Poushi. Its not am easy climb if you have arthritis or out of shape. I wish the tour company or the guide notified us beforehand that the National Museum was closed on the 28th of each month. Also, the tour company could have added the Presidential Monument as a tour stop because it is right next to the UXO Visitor Center.”
