    The Laos Explorer Tour gave an excellent snapshot of the beautiful country of Laos and its people. My family and I are all excited to go back in the near future to explore some more as there were definitely areas where we just didn't have enough time to explore, and yet managed to pack so much in! A great trip to get a taste for the country.

    Is it possible to arrange to do the Nam Xay Viewpoint hike while in Vang Vieng?

    Tour Details
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes, it is absolutely possible to arrange the Nam Xay Viewpoint hike while you're in Vang Vieng, and we can include it for you at an additional cost. You can decide about the hike after you sign up for the original tour package.

      Cathy

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Does this tour also go to the Kuang Si Waterfall? I don't see that it is listed.

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten February 2025

      Currently, the itinerary and quotation do not include the Kuangsi Waterfalls tour activity. However, if you decide to book the trip within the next 24 hours, we will include the Kuangsi Waterfalls as a complimentary offer.

      Cathy

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Where would we fit that in the intinerary?

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten February 2025

      We are happy to let you know that the Kuang Si Waterfalls will be included in your itinerary on Day 5 of the tour. During the day, we will visit ethnic minority villages and see the beautiful Kuang Si Falls, where you can swim in the turquoise pools or walk along forest paths.

    Shirley

    Asked on January 29th, 2025

    Really like the tour but confused by the summary as it mentions Ha Long Bay and three peaches beach both of which are in Vietnam not Laos. Please xould you clarify this before we book.

    Tour Details
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten January 2025

      We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding the tour highlights. Please do not worry about the mention of Ha Long Bay and Three Peaches Beach, as these were part of a former tour package that we were unable to remove from the summary. However, this does not affect the new tour package to Laos, and you can rest assured that your itinerary is focused entirely on Laos.

    Brooke

    Asked on October 31st, 2024

    Very interested in your tour to the Plain of Jars. Is there another option for transportation from Xieng Khouang to Vientiane?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten October 2024

      In place of the flight from Xieng Khouang to Vientiane, we will arrange an Express Train for this journey, offering a comfortable and scenic alternative.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Does your agency provide continuous tour services to Pakse & Don Khong?

    • B

      Brooke

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      I saw that tour, but it doesn't include the Plain of Jars & twice as much for a solo traveler. Any other suggestions?

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten October 2024

      We can work on customizing the itinerary to include sites like the Plain of Jars based on your preferences. Customizing the itinerary can significantly increase the tour price, especially for a solo traveler, as tour costs in Laos tend to be higher.

    Paula

    Asked on October 11th, 2023

    Is it possible to take High Speed Train from Xieng Khouang back to Vientiane? Next, is it possible to add in Ban Keun, known for its salt extraction plant and a village that distills the local Lao whisky and COPE centre?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten October 2023

      Regarding the High-Speed Train from Xieng Khouang back to Vientiane, currently, there is no direct train connection available on this route. The most convenient and time-efficient option for travel is by flight. Incorporating a visit to Ban Keun, known for its salt extraction plant, local Lao whisky distillation, and the COPE center, can certainly be arranged. We can include this in the customized itinerary for the 'Laos Explorer: Caves, Trains, and Culture 8-Day' tour.
