Highlights
  • Pha That Luang - Pha That Luang is a large Buddhist stupa in Vientiane built in the 16th century. According to legend, a Mon sanctuary was originally located here. Other legends say that emissaries of King Ashoka brought a relic of the Buddha here in about 307 BC.
  • Patuxay - Patuxai is a triumphal arch in the Laotian capital Vientiane. The 49-meter high monumental structure stands at the end of the Xang boulevard. Patuxai was built in the 1960s as a “monument to the heroes of the royal army”, i.e. for Laos’ independence from France.
  • Wat Si Muang - Wat Si Muang or Simuong is a Buddhist temple in Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
  • Buddha Park - Buddha Park, also known in various spellings as Xieng Khuan, is a sculpture garden 25 km southeast of Vientiane in Laos. The park is located on the Mekong River, which at this point separates Laos from Thailand.
  • Black Stupa (That Dam) - This dam is a large stupa in Vientiane, Laos. Many Lao believe it is inhabited by a seven-headed Nāga who tried to protect them from an invasion by the Siamese army in 1827.

introduction to Lao - Mana was a great guide and provided a perfect introduction to Vientiane and Laos. He seems to know everyone in Lao, so he’s also a terrific source for information if you’re journeying beyond Vientiane. Highly recommended.

Great private tour! - We are so glad we found this tour through Expedia! Our guide Mana was excellent - he made our 3-hour walk through Vientiane very pleasant by showing us not only the must-see attractions of the city, such as the beautiful Pha That Laung and the Reclining Buddha, but also a local festival with traditional alms-giving, local joints, and cool places. Mana shared numerous stories about Laos culture and history and many tips that helped us navigate our short stay in the city after the guided tour was over.

Time well spent in Vientiane 👍🏻 - Great experience that you should never miss when you’re in Vientiane. The only thing you need to know that this tour isn’t 100% walking tour as all excursions required a car ! It was very confusing for us at the beginning were we assumed we need only a drop off by a car to start the tour but we had to take it for the whole trip which cost us extra money. The heat also made it little challenging as well
