    A great trip. Very good care, very well selected sightseeing. The train ride instead of the flight should always be included. Only criticism is that the hotel room in Luang Prabang was not so great. Very thin walls, no seating and no closet at all, is a bit too spartan for 3 nights. Otherwise, we can only recommend the trip!

    I would like to know what weather can we expect in this tour.. I was thinking of the 4th Sept departure ?

    Tour Details
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten August 2025

      Traveling through Laos in September, you can expect the weather to be warm and humid, as it falls during the country's rainy season. Here's a quick breakdown of what you can expect: Temperatures: Daytime temperatures typically range from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). Rainfall: You should anticipate daily rain showers, but they are often short and heavy, usually occurring in the afternoon. The rest of the day is often sunny. Conditions: The landscape will be lush and green, and the waterfalls will be at their most powerful and beautiful. While some roads may be a bit muddy, the scenery is stunning. A lightweight waterproof jacket, breathable clothing, and comfortable shoes for walking will be essential.

      I am not having a travel companion. Do you pair 2 women together? Of the same age group. If I can find a travel partner

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten August 2025

      We do not offer a service to pair up travelers. If you choose to travel alone, you will be in a single room with an additional single supplement charge. Please keep in mind that if no other travelers sign up for the same departure date, you will join different groups of travelers in each city, and on some days, you may have a private tour with your guide if there are no other participants with the same itinerary.

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten November 2024

      There are currently no other travelers signed up for the departure date of 24th December 2024. In December, Laos experiences dry and pleasant weather, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F), making it an ideal time for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

      No other travelers have signed up for the same departure date yet. If you would still like to take this tour, we are happy to arrange it for you as a Private Tour with an additional cost.

  • J

    Jonathan

    Asked on November 21st, 2023

    The concern is the price listed on TourRadar is $3058 while the price is $1928 on the Legend Travel Group website. I am a solo traveler, so the total price is $5504 vs $3178. I wanted to see why there was a huge difference in price.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten November 2023

      Upon reviewing your inquiry, I would like to clarify that the pricing on both TourRadar and our official Legend Travel Group website is accurate. The difference in the total price is due to the single supplement for solo travelers. If you book through TourRadar, the listed price is for one person without the single supplement. If you book directly on our website, the price includes the single supplement for solo travelers. For solo travelers, the total price before departure would be US $3,277.00, and the local payment amount is US $399.00, making the overall cost US $3,676.00.
