Reviews of Small Group tours to Laos
- Laos Dirty Motorcycle Tour to Viengthong, Viengxay, Phonsavanh, Vang Vieng, Plain of Jars, Xaisomboune
7 day Nothern Laos Motorcycle tour. Mr Dong was excellent to deal with in setting this up for us. Four of us old guys from NZ (late 60's early 70's with mostly road bike and some gravel experience) did the 7 day tour of Northern Laos starting in Luang Prabang. The CFR250 arrived in morning and were well maintained. These bikes proved excellent for this tour as there was dirt, gravel as well as pavement with potholes to negotiate. Yee our guide was excellent. He had a good grasp of English as well as a sense of humour and fitted in well with our group. He was ever willing to provide information on Laos culture and went out of his way to visit schools where we gave out soccer balls, school stationery etc and stop off at villages where we met the locals. He was a proficient dirt rider and always checked our progress to ensure our safety. I would recommend to do this tour in their Winter from December when a bit drier as it would be technically very challenging in wet. We had our luggage transported daily to our accommodation by truck. The country up North is very rugged with endless mountain passes and switchbacks providing excellent riding. The 250c bikes were good at carving through the traffic (lots of trucks). As its up high in altitude the mornings can be cold but the days were mostly between 20-25C so very pleasant in a mesh jacket. Recommend mx boots and gear for this type of riding (we provided our own).For this particular trip I would recommend extending it 1 additional day to stay in Vang Vieng to do the tubing. This was an excellent trip and all of us felt one of the best we have ever had. Thanks Mr Dong!
- 9-Day Explore Northern to Southern Laos and the 4000 Islands
This was a beautiful experience in a wonderful rural setting a short drive from the centre of town. There’s plenty of opportunity to try all stages of rice production and get really involved! Who knew it was such hard work and took such effort. Our guide Sai was great and taught us so much in a fun, informative and practical way. We didn’t stay for lunch but enjoyed the snacks provided. We loved this experience
- Cross-Border Adventure: Vientiane to Chiang Rai 9-Day
"Overall" should be 5 stars (cannot get back to correct). This tour was packed with site visits and activities and addressed our interests exactly. All the logistics worked perfectly. Hotels had some quirks but were in good locations and had character - good 3 star accommodation. The two guides were excellent - knowledgeable, and very supportive. We consider this tour to have been very good value for money, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that it was just the two of us plus guide and driver
What our customers ask about Laos Small Group Tours
What type of accommodation is provided for small group tours in Laos?
Accommodations on small group tours range from comfortable 3-star hotels to luxurious 5-star properties across Laos. In Luang Prabang guests often stay at heritage-style properties like Villa Chitdara or the upscale Victoria Xieng Thong Palace. The capital city Vientiane features modern options such as the Lao Poet Hotel and the garden-surrounded Green Park Boutique. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Villa Maly in Luang Prabang was especially charming with its colonial architecture and personalized service perfect for our small group."
What is the typical small group size for touring Laos?
Most tours operate with 7-9 travelers which creates an ideal balance between social interaction and personal space. This size allows quick access to popular sites like Kuang Si Falls and fits comfortably in smaller local restaurants. Guides can give detailed attention at cultural sites such as Pak Ou Caves. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned during their stay at Lao Poet Hotel in Vientiane: "Having a smaller group made it easier to navigate through local markets and temples and we got more interaction with our guide."
How do small group tours handle transportation between destinations in Laos?
Transportation varies based on route and group size. Groups of 2-5 travel in modern mini-vans while larger groups up to 15 use spacious air-conditioned vehicles. The high-speed train service between Vientiane and Luang Prabang has become a popular option for comfort and speed. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The mix of transport options made the journey interesting and with our small group we could easily stop at local villages along the way."
How are meals arranged for small group tours in Laos?
Tour packages typically cover daily hotel breakfasts plus select lunches and dinners at local establishments. Groups often dine near cultural landmarks like Wat Xiengthong in Luang Prabang or along the Mekong River in Vientiane. A TourRadar traveler commented: "With our small group we could try local specialties at authentic restaurants rather than tourist-oriented venues."
What unique experiences are possible with a small group tour in Laos?
Small groups can access experiences that larger tours cannot. This includes visits to remote communities like Ban Khia Luang participating in morning alms giving in Luang Prabang and staying at secluded properties like Namkat Yorlapa resort. Groups regularly visit family homes join cooking classes and explore quiet temples. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our small group size allowed us to visit a local family's home in Ban Long Lao village and learn about traditional weaving techniques - something that wouldn't have been possible with a big group."
What is the typical demographic of small group tours in Laos?
Tour groups welcome travelers from 14 to 70 years with most participants around 49 years old. The mix usually includes couples and independent travelers focused on cultural experiences. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Our group of eight ranged from young professionals to retirees creating an interesting dynamic perfect for cultural exchange."
How does pricing compare between small group and larger group tours in Laos?
Daily rates for small group tours run from $228 to $440 which includes stays at distinctive properties like Satri House in Luang Prabang. The higher price point compared to large group tours reflects personal attention flexible scheduling and upgraded accommodations. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The small group tour was worth every penny - the personalized attention and unique experiences we had access to made it excellent value for money."
