Tour overview

Vientiane is the largest city of Laos, a landlocked country of South East Asia. Just like its entire country, this capital is at a pretty quiet and slow pace when compared to another bustling metropolis in the region. Lying on the mighty Mekong River, and was once a French trading post, Vientiane still keeps its colorful original colonial architecture intact.  Nowadays, Laos has slowly opened up to the world with more foreign investment and tourism. As a result, Vientiane is stepped by step, undergoing its changes, and continues to expand with more things to discover.
