About this activity

A full day in Vientiane is the right amount of time to see the temples in town and the mysterious sculptures just outside it. This private tour covers both at an easy pace.

In the morning, your guide and driver take you to Wat Sisaket, Ho Phra Keo, That Luang, and the Patuxai Victory Gate, four landmarks that reveal the history and spiritual heritage of the Lao capital. After lunch, continue to Buddha Park, a unique collection of Buddhist and Hindu-inspired sculptures created in the 1950s.

With its striking statues and riverside setting, Buddha Park offers excellent photo opportunities before returning to the city. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, making for a comfortable and enriching day of sightseeing.

Temples, iconic monuments, and fascinating sculptures combine into one memorable experience, ideal for first-time visitors to Vientiane.
