Reviews of Small Group tours to Laos
- Laos Dirty Motorcycle Tour to Viengthong, Viengxay, Phonsavanh, Vang Vieng, Plain of Jars, Xaisomboune
We did the best of Laos Dirty Motorcycle Tour & it was amazing. The co-ordination (airport pick-ups/ hotel transfers), what was included in the tour (food/accomodation) bikes and variety of tours we did in 7 days was awesome.
- Highlights of Luang Prabang and Vientiane
Excellent service by our travel agent, Jess. Jess helped us every step of the way, at all times. The tour she put together was brilliant.
- Cross-Border Adventure: Vientiane to Chiang Rai 9-Day
"Overall" should be 5 stars (cannot get back to correct). This tour was packed with site visits and activities and addressed our interests exactly. All the logistics worked perfectly. Hotels had some quirks but were in good locations and had character - good 3 star accommodation. The two guides were excellent - knowledgeable, and very supportive. We consider this tour to have been very good value for money, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that it was just the two of us plus guide and driver

In Luang Prabang guests often stay at heritage-style properties like Villa Chitdara or the upscale Victoria Xieng Thong Palace. The capital city Vientiane features modern options such as the Lao Poet Hotel and the garden-surrounded Green Park Boutique. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Villa Maly in Luang Prabang was especially charming with its colonial architecture and personalized service perfect for our small group."
What is the typical small group size for touring Laos?
Most tours operate with 7-9 travelers which creates an ideal balance between social interaction and personal space. This size allows quick access to popular sites like Kuang Si Falls and fits comfortably in smaller local restaurants. Guides can give detailed attention at cultural sites such as Pak Ou Caves.

How do small group tours handle transportation between destinations in Laos?
Transportation varies based on route and group size. Groups of 2-5 travel in modern mini-vans while larger groups up to 15 use spacious air-conditioned vehicles. The high-speed train service between Vientiane and Luang Prabang has become a popular option for comfort and speed. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The mix of transport options made the journey interesting and with our small group we could easily stop at local villages along the way."
How are meals arranged for small group tours in Laos?
Tour packages typically cover daily hotel breakfasts plus select lunches and dinners at local establishments. Groups often dine near cultural landmarks like Wat Xiengthong in Luang Prabang or along the Mekong River in Vientiane.

This includes visits to remote communities like Ban Khia Luang participating in morning alms giving in Luang Prabang and staying at secluded properties like Namkat Yorlapa resort. Groups regularly visit family homes join cooking classes and explore quiet temples. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our small group size allowed us to visit a local family's home in Ban Long Lao village and learn about traditional weaving techniques - something that wouldn't have been possible with a big group."
What is the typical demographic of small group tours in Laos?
Tour groups welcome travelers from 14 to 70 years with most participants around 49 years old. The mix usually includes couples and independent travelers focused on cultural experiences. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Our group of eight ranged from young professionals to retirees creating an interesting dynamic perfect for cultural exchange."
How does pricing compare between small group and larger group tours in Laos?
Daily rates for small group tours run from $228 to $440 which includes stays at distinctive properties like Satri House in Luang Prabang.
