This trip was everything we had ever dreamed of and more. The great planning ensured that every detail was taken care of, leaving us free to fully embrace the experience. Most tours were private for my family. Minah and her team did a great job and highly recommend them!
This is an exciting 8-day tour of two of the most lovely countries in Southeast Asia: Vietnam and Laos. This begins with time to explore Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, and some fabulous rich cultural displays in the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. Start with the panoramic drive to Ha Long Bay, the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site, and cruise among the limestone islands and explore caves while spending your nights on a traditional junk.
Next, your journey continues in Laos, arriving in the UNESCO-protected city of Luang Prabang, the highlight of all serene temples and traditions. Highlights will include the Pak Ou Caves, beautiful Kuang Si Waterfalls; and, where possible, participation in the morning almsgiving ritual. Visits to the Royal Palace Museum and bustling local markets give further insights into Lao culture. Enjoy the combination of natural wonders and guided tours steeped in culture for an effortless, enriching travel experience.
