06:30: Guide and driver pick up you at the hotel.
Early in the morning, you will join the most sacred tradition of Laos, the daily morning alms giving, which dates to the 14th century. More than 200 Buddhist monks depart from various temples to gather their daily meals from the faithful residents sitting quietly on the streets.
After that, we will visit the temporary morning market near the former Royal Palace. You can see a lot of local people coming here to barter their day’s catch from rice to vegetables, fish, or chicken. This is the best chance to experience the flavor of local life
Returning to the hotel, you will have breakfast, then get transferred to the Traditional Arts & Ethnology Center (TAEC), the collection of diverse Lao ethnic groups. Visiting the center, you can understand more about the Lao diverse ethnic culture.
Our next stop is the seminars on “Ethnic Diversity and Cultural Change in Laos”. There is a fascinating 60-minute presentation and question-and-answer session that gives background on Laos’ ethnic communities, their history, and their cultural practices, including livelihoods and crafts. You will have an opportunity to learn about lifestyles in ethnic villages.
In the afternoon, we head to the beautiful Kuang Si waterfalls, the biggest waterfall in the Luang Prabang area. There are three tiers leading to a 50-meter drop into spectacular azure pools before flowing downstream. You can swim in the pools here.
Not far from the waterfall is the Bear Rescue Center, which houses a couple of dozen animals rescued from the hands of poachers and traffickers.
On the way back to Luang Prabang, we stop to visit the Kuang Si Falls Butterfly Park (closed from 15 APR – 30 JUN; 01-14 SEP, & 01 JAN every year), and the Ock Pop Tock Living Craft Center, where you will have a short tour to get information about Silk, weaver, about the Women that work in the Centre.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Accommodation: Hotel in Luang Prabang

25/11/2019Thank you for all your excellent work in organising our wonderful trip. The variety of experiences and the quality of all that you arranged for us was perfect.

The variety of experiences and the quality of all that you arranged for us was perfect.
For the future I would like to suggest that you send clients a detailed itinerary before they arrive. Had we had all the details of activities planned for us we would have made a change to DaNang. Three days when we weren’t organised to see or do anything was a lot of time when we had so little time in Ho Chi Minh. This is a small change that we would have made.
Having a direct contact with you to clarify things was very helpful, thanks. You were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with.
I would and have already recommended you to several people interested in visiting Vietnam in the future.
Dave and I would have no hesitation in working with you again if we decide to return to your beautiful country. It has been a trip of a lifetime for us.
I have tried to put a review up on trip advisor for you but can’t get it to accept my review.
You have my permission to use this recommendation in any way you wish.
Please forward this to your boss so they can see what a wonderful job you did for us.
Regards and thanks from

Thank you Hang Moon for organizing an incredible tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. Everything was perfect. Hotels, guides & drivers and food were absolutely awesome. We were able to see most of Vietnam in 10 days which would not have been possible had we tried to do so on our own. It is truly a beautiful country and the Vietnamese people are wonderful. Ruins in Cambodia were stunning and our guide was an incredible photographer. Can't say enough good about this tour. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of a trip to these countries.
Thanks again for making our vacation one we will never forget.

25/03/2019The itinerary was well planned out. Jenny addressed any issues in a quick and efficient manner. We had some excellent tour guides.
Some tour guides did not speak English well. Some of the provided meals were too generic and bland. Dance show in Siem Reap was boring. All but one of the hotels in Cambodia… More The itinerary was well planned out. Jenny addressed any issues in a quick and efficient manner. We had some excellent tour guides.
Some tour guides did not speak English well. Some of the provided meals were too generic and bland. Dance show in Siem Reap was boring. All but one of the hotels in Cambodia and Loas did not have any information about my request for rooms with two beds (but they did end up addressing the situation).
3.1. Guide in Hanoi & Mai Chau – 8, Guide was nice, helpful and spoke English very well. She delivered the services she had to and answered all questions asked but rarely offered much additional information unless specifically asked. She did not seem very enthusiastic about her job. In general she was a very good guide, just not up to the same level as the excellent ones.
3.4. Guide in Hue - 10 – Excellent Guide
3.5. Guide in Hoi An - 8, Nice man who tried his best but his English skills were only average
3.6. Guide in Ho Chi Minh - 10 – Excellent Guide
3.7. Guide in Phnom Penh – 7 – he was nice and gave it his best but we could not understand most of what he said.
3.8. Guide in Siem Reap - First Day – 8 – Very nice and courteous man but we could only understand about 25% of what he said
Second Day – 10 – Excellent Guide
3.9. Guide in Luang Prabang - 10+ - Best overall Guide we had
3.10. Guide in Vang Vieng & Vientiane - 9 – A little tough to understand at times but it was not a significant problem. He was the most enthusiastic guide we had. Less

05/02/2019Chuc Mung Nam Moi! We have returned from our trip and we want to thank you for organizing a wonderful trip for us. We enjoyed every minute of it. Everything went perfect. We enjoyed all the guides, the hotels, the tours and meals. All plane flights were on time.
Thank you so much.

15/12/2018Special thanks to Ms. Jenny for a well-organized tour, we were amazed that in only 20 days, we can explore 3 countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Everything were great, we love our trip and highly recommend this tour.
Ms. Suzan Lee
25/10/2018We all enjoyed this trip. Everything was amazing: good weather and perfect services. We only regretted a little cause we couldn't adapt foods in Laos so well due to their strong flavor. We are planning for next year's trip. Hope that we can book your tour again
Ms.Erin Lee
24/03/2018I had an amazing journey traveling throughout Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos in 20 days. As a solo traveler, my priority is to save my budget, but the 2-star option of this tour definitely amazed me. At a cheap price, I received all I need for a trip with interesting activities, nice tour guides, cozy and clean accommodation. Totally love this tour and hope there will be the next time.

27/07/2017A well thought out itinerary for 3 different countries. Staff were also very organised and were prepared to go above and beyond to suit our needs.
