Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Laos?
The dry season in Laos lasts from October - April and is characterized by pleasant temperatures and little rainfall. However, as a landlocked country, Laos does not experience the extreme variations in weather experienced by neighboring countries in South East Asia, like Vietnam. So visiting Laos is possible outside of these months. There's more information in our online guide.
Are your Laos tours guided?
Our Laos group tours are fully escorted, which means that you will be accompanied throughout your tour by one of our local, English-speaking tour guides. They'll be able to fill you in on the history of sites such as the temples of Luang Prabang, point out the best places to eat and shop, introduce you to Laos culture and help you feel safe and secure on tour. You'll still have free time at points during the tour for you to go and see other sites independently, or to relax in the hotel!
If visiting Laos on one of our private tours, you will not be fully escorted, but will still have the services of our tour guides for all included sightseeing.
How big are the groups on your Laos trips?
Our Laos tours depart with a minimum of 4 passengers and the maximum group size is 24. However, Laos attracts fewer foreign visitors than Vietnam and Cambodia, and our group sizes in Laos tend to be closer to 10 - 15. Your group size will then normally grow as you are joined by new travelers for the Vietnam and Cambodia sections of your trip.
Can I combine my Laos tour with Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand?
Yes! Although we do offer standalone Laos tours, we believe that the country is best combined with neighboring Vietnam and Cambodia. Our longer itineraries take in all the highlights of these countries alongside northern Laos, including Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh in Cambodia and Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. We also have a tour that ends in Bangkok, in northern Thailand.
What is the standard of accommodation on your Laos tours?
We stay in great quality 4-star hotels in central locations on our Laos tours. On the web page for each tour, you will find a tab with information about the hotels we regularly use on tour.
Can I drink the tap water?
Like in most of South East Asia, the tap water in Laos is not safe to drink and should be avoided as there is a high risk it will make you unwell. Stick to bottled and purified water throughout your Laos tour, and avoid drinks with ice, or eating salads that may have been washed with the tap water.
