What people love about Laos Highlands Tours
- Laos: Sunrises & Street Food
The guide and the people made the trip!
- Classic Luang Prabang in 4 Days
The guides were both excellent, very engaging, caring and very knowledgeable; the organization was in some respects a bit confused, in one case regarding how a local payment was to be made and in another instance there was a request for some official Lao document of which I had no awareness. Overall, however, the experience was excellent. Thank you
- Luang Prabang Delight: Caves, Waterfalls, and Culture 3-Day
The Aphrodite 3 day/2 night tour was the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. All of the staff were excellent and provided service way beyond our expectations. They made us feel really welcome. The level 2 room we had was awesome. If you plan to go to Ha Long Bay I recommend you spend a little bit more and go with the Aphrodite and her special crew. If you are considering the 2 day 1 night I would also recommend you do the extra day and night because it makes all the difference.

When is the best time to visit the Laos Highlands Mountains?

What are the must-see mountain highlights in the Laos Highlands?
The Laos Highlands feature several notable destinations including the limestone formations of Vang Vieng the ancient Plain of Jars in Phonsavan and the temple-covered slopes near Luang Prabang's Mount Phousi.
