  • Lifetime Laos Discovery Tour from Luang Prabang via Xieng Khouang to Vientiane reviewer 1
    · September 21st, 2025
    I was a bit nervous about traveling through multiple destinations in a short time, but the Lifetime Laos Discovery Tour was so well organized that everything felt effortless. Luang Prabang’s night market, Xieng Khouang’s Plain of Jars, and the journey to Vientiane were unforgettable highlights. Ms. Loan from Viet Long Travel was fantastic—always responsive and caring, making sure we had a wonderful experience. I can honestly say this trip gave me memories for a lifetime.

    A Must-Do for Culture Lovers! If you love history, culture, and stunning scenery, this tour is a must-do! Starting in Luang Prabang with its golden temples, every stop had something unique. The visit to the Plain of Jars was haunting yet fascinating, and our guide brought so much local insight. From there, the countryside views were breathtaking, especially as we headed to Vientiane. I left with a deep appreciation for Laos. Thank you, Vietlong Travel!
