Ton's Travel – Your Friendy Guide to Laos

Hello! I am Ton, a certified guide who would like to be your helper and companion on your discovery trip in Laos. I will take care of all the arrangements, so you can open up to the hospitality and the natural beauty of our old, but also vibrant and youthful country.

Below, you can find three different tours that I arrange: Luang Prabang – a beautiful old town, the river round trip in rural landscapes, a visit to the capital Vientiane with the surrounding caves – and more.

But – and this is important – these tours are just examples. If you wish, I can make special arrangements for you and your company. There is so much to see in Laos – and we will not limit ourselves to just a few ready-made solutions.

That said, the three tours below will really give you some truly colorful memories. So they are really recommended.

Luang Prabang

You will find me in the middle of the best that Laos has to offer – the town Luang Prabang ("Royal Buddha Image"), a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for it's remarkably well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage over several centuries, including French colonial influences.

Rural River Round Trip

We sail along Nam Ou river (se map at bottom of page!) and experience the peaceful life in local villages, go swimmming, paddling, trekking to viewpoints, see beautiful sunsets and taste the local food – whatever you prefer. (6 days trip)

Caves & Capital Round Trip

Let's go south – modern style! We go from Luang Prabang via Vang Vieng to the capital of Laos – Vientiane with the Chinese built speed train.

In Vang Vieng there is a lot to see – the Blue Lagoon (yes, not only in Iceland!), caves and more. Then Vientiane will give us big town attractions: an "Arc de Triomphe" like in Paris (!), shopping markets, temples, parks. (4 day trip)
