Laos is a jewel hidden deep in the heart of Southeast Asia, offering an enchanting escape for those seeking unique cultural encounters and serene landscapes. Often overshadowed by its neighbours, Laos gifts its visitors with tranquil beauty and rich traditions. Let's embark on a journey through Laos, diving into the splendour of private experiences and tours that unveil the country's extraordinary charm.

Discover the Timeless Vientiane

Vientiane, Laos' sleepy yet charming capital, welcomes you with its French-colonial architecture and golden temples. Here, your private experiences in Laos could begin with a fascinating tour of the iconic Pha That Luang, a shimmering golden stupa that stands as the symbol of Laos. Don't miss a leisurely stroll along the Mekong River at sunset—an ideal moment to relish the serenity of this unique capital.

Immerse in the Tranquility of Luang Prabang

Known for its seamless blend of French elegance and traditional Laotian architecture, Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a rich cultural tapestry. Engaging in Laos private tours here means navigating the streets filled with saffron-robed monks during the morning alms and exploring the sacred temples like Wat Xieng Thong, adorned with intricate gold and red motifs.

Venture into the Myths of the Plain of Jars

The mysterious Plain of Jars, an archaeological wonder, invites you to ponder the ancient mysteries of this land. Joining a tour of Laos to this remote site offers not only a chance to see thousands of stone jars scattered across valleys but also a glimpse into the area's wartime history and local legends.

Savour the Flavours of Laos

Laos' culinary scene is a journey in itself. Delight in dishes like Laap, a zesty minced meat salad seasoned with herbs, and Khao Piak Sen, a comforting rice noodle soup. Private experiences in Laos can include cooking classes where you learn to craft these delightful dishes yourself, guided by local chefs eager to share their culinary secrets.

Experience the Breathtaking Beung Khong Long Lake

Beyond the beaten path, Beung Khong Long Lake offers a serene retreat amidst nature's splendour. The lake's pristine waters and lush surrounding landscapes make it a perfect spot for bird-watching or simply relishing in the peaceful ambiance. Choosing a Laos private tour here ensures personalized explorations, catering to your preferences.

Embrace Adventure at the Bolaven Plateau

For those seeking thrill, the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos provides an adventurous escape with its cascading waterfalls and lush coffee plantations. A tour of Laos to this region might involve trekking to Tad Fane Waterfall, where twin streams plunge 120 metres into a misty gorge, or sampling the renowned local coffee in the plantations.

The Spiritual Retreat of Wat Phou

Concluding our journey, the ancient temple ruins of Wat Phou invite spiritual reflection amid the natural beauty of the Champasak province. This pre-Angkorian site, ensconced at the base of a lush mountain, offers awe-inspiring views and an insight into the region's deep spiritual roots. Private experiences in Laos allow you to explore this sacred space at your own pace, absorbing its historical and spiritual significance.

Laos offers a mosaic of experiences that cater to the desires of every traveller, from cultural immersion to contemplative solitude. Whether you're indulging in bespoke escapades on a Laos private tour or exploring its mystical sites, the country promises unforgettable memories etched in serenity and wonder. Let the allure of Laos guide your next adventure, whispering of ancient tales and tranquil landscapes that beckon your exploration.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

Most people don’t know that Laos is home to mysterious ancient caves and hidden temples that few travellers ever visit, tucked away in remote mountains and along quiet rivers.

We recently worked with Jacqueline to plan our trip to Greece and had a wonderful experience. We made several revisions to our itinerary and Jacqueline was patient, understanding and prompt in responding to our needs. In addition to the specific tours she booked, she provided extra options and local suggestions for each place we visited in Greece. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made our trip incredibly memorable. Mark Mendell

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Our GoWay tour representative, Michael Keon, was on top of all of our concerns and questions in a professional manner and we look forward to working with him in the future. Michael was very easy to work with and treated us like family.Thomas

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Our travel agent, Melissa Moses, created the perfect itinerary for our recent holiday to Portugal. Melissa had also planned our previous trip to England/Scotland.

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen
