  I was looking for a different way to travel from Thailand to Laos, and this cruise was exactly what I needed. The pace was just right, giving us time to soak in the views of the Mekong and visit local villages along the way. Luang Prabang was definitely the highlight—stunning temples, night markets, and the breathtaking Kuang Si Waterfalls. The accommodations were comfortable, and everything was well organized from start to finish. If you enjoy a mix of relaxation, adventure, and cultural experiences, this is the perfect trip!

  My husband and I took this tour as part of our Southeast Asia trip, and it turned out to be one of our favorite experiences. The cruise down the Mekong was mesmerizing—we passed lush jungles, quiet villages, and even spotted elephants along the riverbank! Luang Prabang was our favorite stop. Waking up early for the almsgiving ceremony and then exploring the town’s charming temples was unforgettable. Kuang Si Falls was even more beautiful in person, and we had plenty of time to swim and take photos. The transition to Vientiane was smooth, and we loved exploring its laid-back streets and temples. The entire trip was well-organized, and our guide was fantastic. If you want to truly experience the heart of Laos, this tour is the way to do it!

  A Unique & Authentic Way to Explore Laos. This was one of the most memorable trips we've ever taken! Instead of rushing from city to city, we got to experience Laos in a slow and immersive way, starting with a scenic Mekong River cruise. Floating past jungle-covered hills and stopping in tiny riverside villages gave us a real glimpse of local life. Luang Prabang was enchanting—the mix of French and Laotian culture, the golden temples, and the peaceful vibe made us fall in love with the town. We especially enjoyed the boat trip to the Pak Ou Caves and hiking around Kuang Si Falls. Vientiane was another highlight, offering a relaxed but fascinating end to the tour with visits to Wat Sisaket, the Patuxai Monument, and Buddha Park. From start to finish, the tour was perfectly planned, and we felt completely taken care of. If you want an authentic, enriching experience in Laos, this is the way to do it! — Emily & Brett.

  The trip was very well organized. The local tour provider was in touch before and during the trip via WhatsApp. The river cruise was just wonderful and all local guides were excellent as well. My only suggestion is to reach out to the local provider after booking this tour to add a couple of days in Van Vieng and ask about lodging in Pakbeng. This is my 4th trip booked through tour radar all over the world and the quality of the tours and service is always top notch! I recommend this tour as an EASY and comfortable way to see Laos added on to a Thailand trip.

  Perfect for First-Time Visitors to Laos! This was my first time visiting Laos, and this tour made it so easy to explore the country’s highlights without feeling rushed. Starting in Chiang Mai, we crossed into Laos and cruised the Mekong River—a magical experience! The boat was comfortable, and the crew went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Each stop along the way was memorable. Pak Beng was a quaint riverside town with friendly locals, and Luang Prabang was just stunning. I loved the mix of colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and tranquil temples. The Kuang Si Waterfalls were like something out of a postcard! The tour wrapped up in Vientiane, where we explored Buddhist temples, enjoyed the relaxed vibe, and learned about the city’s history. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Laos. The whole trip was well-organized, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone wanting an introduction to this beautiful country.

  An Unforgettable Mekong River Adventure We recently joined the Chiang Mai Cruising Tour and were blown away by the experience. Starting in Chiang Mai, the tour seamlessly combined cultural exploration and relaxation. Cruising down the Mekong River was magical, especially the stop in Pak Beng, a quaint riverside town. Luang Prabang was the highlight for me, with its golden temples and the stunning Kuang Si Falls. The journey ended in Vientiane, where the charm of the capital city surprised us. Everything was well-organized, from the comfortable cruise to the knowledgeable guides. This tour gave us a unique perspective on Laos and its beauty. Highly recommend it!

  Our round trip from Chiang Mai to Vientiane was very well organized. The local guides at the various locations were very friendly and spoke good English. We received a lot of information about the sights we visited and the country of Laos. The drivers drove safely and comfortably. The 2 day cruise on the Mekong to Luang Prabang was a pleasure. The hotels were of the standard we had booked except for the hotel in Luang Prabang. Instead of the Villa Chitdara, we stayed at the Meuangluang. The rooms were ok, but the breakfast not really. The breakfast buffet was empty to almost empty and the coffee and tea were inedible. The highlight was the train ride from Luang Prabang to Vientiane. However, the luggage check was absolutely excessive. We had to hand over a pocket knife (5cm), which we had been able to take with us on every plane for decades. The last hotel of the round trip in Vientiane, Lao Orchid, was absolutely superb. Room, staff, breakfast, simply perfect.
