Highlight of Luang Prabang! - Our trip to Luang Prabang, organized by Bravo Indochina Tours, was a delightful experience. The tour included a hassle-free private journey with a full day cruise on the Mekong River, a visit to Pak Ou Cave and Kuang Si waterfall on the first day, followed by a comprehensive city tour on the second day.
The staff at Bravo Indochina Tours were responsive and helpful throughout. Our guide was particularly impressive, showcasing deep knowledge and an engaging personality. He was also incredibly accommodating to our needs, enhancing our overall experience.
A visit to the elephant camps revealed that the elephants were healthy and well-cared for, with living conditions that were as good as, if not better than, many zoos I've visited. This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Luang Prabang and its surroundings with a reliable and professional tour company. Bravo Indochina Tours truly made our visit memorable.

Beautiful memoried - I have been to Pak Ou in 2022 . I really loved it. It was a great trip. I went there by boat and sharing with few people. It was a nice place and good experiences. I had to walked upstairs and see many Buddhist statues in the cave.

Great tour if you are new to Laos! - Great tour for a first day in Laos if you have never been here before. Went to an interesting cave site, a boat ride down the river, free drinks of whiskey and lunch, and a beautiful waterfall at the end where there is a chance to do some hiking. Great tour.

Manifa Travel Co Tours - Phenomenal - This is an amazing company run by Lao people to save the elephants in Lao, they also do other tours to the waterfalls and caves. We didn’t want to ride elephants as we felt it was cruel but after visiting the reserve for lunch as part of the waterfalls tour we decided to go back and spend time with the elephants as while we were eating the elephants were just roaming, bathing in the river and eatingWhat a phenomenal experience this was. They are so beautiful and intelligent we rode them with both a Howrah and bareback as well as taking them into the Mekong to wash them. This is a fantastic experience and I would not hesitate to do this again. Manifa are very ethical and focused on the wellbeing of the elephants. Don’t miss out!!

This was stunning - It starts with this slow boat ride on Mekong river, all you see is wild jungel and some fishermen. After 2 hours with one stop at a very nice village with god handcraft items. Then you get to Pak Ou Cave and the story behind the cave from the Vietnam war. And the light, limb Stones and thousens of buddhas big, small, new. And old. And a great view over Mekong River. Then you go back up the river just 1 hour now. Drive to the Kuang Si fall, what a stunning place. You head up the jungel road and view the extrem waterfall. Then you can have a lunch by this picture perfect. We also swimed in the falls, this cold clean water. This is a must see. Thank you Vanh for being our guide

Excellent tour of the river, when combined with a stop at an ethnic village business - Somewhat unusual destination that can only be reached by boat, but an excellent tour of the river, when combined with a stop at an ethnic village business. Bring a jacket if the weather looks like it could change.

interesting cave full of Buddhas - During a trip down the Mekong, we stopped at this cave and shrine. Also called Buddha cave, there are about 4000 Buddhas inside the two caves.

Luang Prabang - Unfortunately, Luang Prabang isn't really the road less travelled! It has had major issues due to mass tourism depleting its natural and cultural heritage for the sake of tourism.

Ridiculous - No guide showed up after I waited for half an hour at hotel lobby. Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous! Payment went through many days ago though.

I bet I would’ve liked it if they actually showed up. - After waiting for pickup for half and hour and trying to call multiple times without answer I gave up on trying to count on this company. Wasted a whole day because all the other tours had left by the time we tried to switch.
