Sunset cruise and hot pot. Wasn’t sure what to expect. Boat was lovely and so was our host. Didn’t expect to be only ones on boat but city was very quiet. We loved the boat and the meal was a cook yourself meat and vegetable soup over charcoal. It was fun .
What a great evening. Our guide, Mr Tid, was very informative & explained many things about the Mekong River.
My wife and I had a truly peaceful and memorable evening on the Mekong Sunset Cruise and Hot Pot Dinner. Even with the clouds in the sky, the atmosphere on the river was calm and serene — the kind of quiet beauty that lets you really take in the surroundings. Our guide was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the culture and landscape. He made the experience feel personal and meaningful, not rushed or scripted. The hot pot dinner was fresh, tasty, and fun to prepare while floating on the water. It felt relaxed and intimate — a perfect way to enjoy Laos. This was one of our favorite experiences in Luang Prabang. Highly recommended. — Chuck & Heather
Great experience , a must do, the views, the local dinner , the guide . I highly recommend . It was a great experience
Our guide was really charming and introduced us to the Mekong and its benefits for the people of Laos. A very nice time on the river, beautiful sunset and traditional meal to finish in style this beautiful excursion.
It was very pleasant and Thian my guide made it very comfortable too: she also thought me how to do hot pot.Another remarkable experience
We had a lovely trip up and down the river. It was very cloudy on the day we picked but wad nice to sit on the boat and just take in the river and its banks. The hot pot experience was fantastic and was definitely the differentiator. We went to a local place with no other tourists and sat with our guide, who was lovely, having a true Lao experience!
Fantastic evening. The tour guide Nong was so personable, such a great personality and friendly. We had a great time on the river with the sunset, then she took us to an out of the way restaurant where we had a delicious hot pot dinner, with her teaching us through it. Both my husband and I would highly recommend this tour and this lovely tour guide!
Amazing tour. The river cruise is absolutely beautiful and the hot pot dinner is a unique treat to really get a taste of the local culture. Keo was a great guide and we loved all her insights and just her general company!
Thank you very much for your review. Best wishes for the new year. Warm regards, Somsay
From starting to end it was an amazing experience, they care each and every thing from booking till dropping at airport. Specially mentioned my guide Oun is so polite and detailed. I haven’t feel solo any moment. Hope I will explore more soon at Laos.
Thank you so much Mr Nandi, for allowing us organized your holiday in Laos. We appreciate your support. Best wishes, Somsay
