Awesome tour, can see all Luang Prabang has to offer
Samy_A, Mar 2023
This tour was amazing? Pick up was a little tricky because I was staying at a guest house, but once we got going everything went smoothly. We had plenty of time at the local village, waterfall, lunch, caves, whisky village, etc. to see everything and really soak it all in, and were still dropped off on time. The tour guide was wonderful and we had a really great group that day too.

You can see it all in 1 day. Each stop fantastic and well worth the time providing a unique experience...the caves, waterfalls, feeding the 🐘 elephants, rice wine delightful...I bought a 6 pack. Our Guide Thin was very knowledgeable...thank you!
Worth it
Franck_M, Mar 2023
Buon was the perfect guide , and the tour was very complete .
We skipped the Wisky village :seemed too commercial
Going back from the Boudha cave to LP on the Mekong was really superb
A really enjoyable day
Stephen_S, Feb 2023
Thin was a great guide and very informative and entertaining. The collection from the hotel was punctual and straightforward. The slow boat ride to Pak Ou was so beautiful and we had a great group who had a really nice dynamic. Each stop was given plenty of time without feeling rushed or overly long. The lunch was delicious with the added treat of feeding the elephants. The waterfall was stunning and arrived at a great time as the sun was beginning to set so provided even nicer views. Thin also provided lots of history on Laos as well as recommendations for what else to do and what/where to eat. Would recommend to anyone looking to do the main activities in Luang Prabang.

Worth every Kip or Dollar, depending on where u book (there is a slight difference in the price u pay). We had a super nice guide. We’re also really lucky with the group and the positiv dynamic. Also, we were shown way more than what was promised in the tour description. Can highly recommend. If I had one wish, then that we had a little more time at the sanctuary and less time spend in the local village/store. But other than that, great day!

Great tour, saw lots of things without feeling rushed anywhere. The waterfalls were incredible. Also enjoyed the cruise and the stops at the local village and the elephant camp. Guide was very good.
Important highlights in 1 tour

Thin was a great guide. It’s a pack filled day so we didn’t get to be at the elephant sanctuary very long due to lunch, but it was still amazing! The river cruise is a bit long for my taste, but can’t please everyone. Went to the caves - don’t wear flip flops as you will need to go up steps. The waterfall is beautiful so bring a swimsuit and maybe some water shoes if you have them since there are rocks in some parts.
Well-organized

Emma_S, Jan 2023
Mr Pong was an incredible guide from start to finish. Excellent english speaking and made the tour informative but also fun.
Lunch was delicious and nice to fet the opportunity to see the elephants. My highlight was the Kuang Si waterfalls. They really are as blue as you see in photos
Amazing trip
Katarzyna_P, Jan 2023
Won out tour guide was the best, explained history, made sure we had water and snacks. The tour was excellent, we took a long boat for about 2,5hrs along the Mekong, saw the caves, ate an amazing lunch with elephants, tasted rice whiskey, and then spent time at the most beautiful waterfalls! Highly recommend!
