About this activity

Vientiane moves at a gentler pace than most capitals, and this private half day tour is an easy way to feel it. French-influenced boulevards, Buddhist heritage and national pride come together in one relaxed outing.

Your guide and driver collect you at your hotel and begin at Wat Sisaket, the oldest monastery in the city, where 6,840 Buddha images fill the niches along the courtyard walls. Next come Ho Phra Keo, the former royal temple now a museum of Buddhist art, and That Luang, the golden stupa revered across Laos.

The tour ends at the Patuxai Victory Gate, inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and decorated with Lao motifs. Private air-conditioned transport and return hotel transfers keep everything comfortable.

It is a compact and rewarding way to meet the history, faith and skyline of Laos' capital in about three and a half hours.
