Beautiful garden with multiple Buddhas

Pleasant walk in this garden with multiple Buddhas. Walk its paths and you will want to go one way or the other, so you do not know or look.... I recommend this garden..

Comprehensive 1 day tour

Our guide Chansay was brilliant, very knowledgeable, with excellent English. We only had one day in Vientiane and this tour ensured we got to see all the major sites in one day. Lunch was also delicious..

Great private tour! Worth the cost. Enjoyed the excursions.

Not much to see in Vientiane and this tour covers most of it. Buddha park was nice although very run down for only being ~75 years old. Lunch was wonderful and being included helped lower the overall experience cost...

Vientiane’s marvels

This private tour was well organized. The guide Chansay was competent and welcoming. The tour was flexible and could be adapted to the participant. Everything was worth seeing. The chauffeur was reliable and the bus comfortable. A walk on Friendship bridge #1 was interesting and appreciated, but could not cross to Thailand my visa being single entry only. This activity a must when visiting Vientiane!..

Great tour to start off your first time adventure to Laos

Really enjoyed this tour with our guide Mr. Chansay Nanthavong. Originally thought the full day would be too much but it was perfect. Also had lower expectations for the Buddha Park based on some reviews but I found it to be most interesting and I'm glad it was included. This tour really does hit the highlights of Vientiane and it is a good introduction to Laos and its culture since it was our second day in the country. Lunch was also delicious and you could try anything and everything you wanted. Mr. Chansay has good English and a wealth of knowledge about the history as well as the current culture. The price may seem high but it was actually a good value...

An Exceptional Day Exploring Vientiane with Mr. Chansay Nanthavong

I had an amazing experience on the Private Tour: Vientiane City Tour with Buddha Park, guided by Mr. Chansay Nanthavong. His deep knowledge of the history and culture of Laos made the day truly special. We visited stunning landmarks like the COPE Visitor Centre, Patuxai Monument, and of course, the fascinating Buddha Park. Mr. Chansay was friendly, professional, and attentive, making sure every detail was covered. It was a perfect way to explore Vientiane in a personalized and relaxed manner. Highly recommend!..
