Itinéraire
Prise en charge à votre hébergement tôt le matin vers 5h15 de mars à octobre et 5h45 de novembre à février. Nous nous levons tôt pour observer la procession du lever du soleil des moines recevant l'aumône et de l'expérience d'offrir de la nourriture aux moines. Le matin, l'aumône (Sai Bat) est une tradition de longue date dans la culture bouddhiste du Laos et est très unique au Laos. Le Laos est la seule nation bouddhiste qui conserve encore la procession.
Après l'aumône du matin, nous visitons le marché du matin de Luang Prabang. Le marché bordant quelques rues calmes près du Palais Royal commence tôt et se termine au milieu de la matinée. Il s’installe le long de quelques rues adjacentes à l’un des nombreux Wats de la ville. Un boucher et quelques-uns des stands les plus touristiques ont de véritables tables pour leurs marchandises. Mais la plupart des vendeurs, qu’ils vendent du riz, des légumes frais, du poisson cuit à la vapeur, des grenouilles et tout ce qui pourrait être la pêche du jour, viennent tout juste de s’établir sur le sol.
Luang Prabang, classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO pour son mélange unique d'influences coloniales traditionnelles lao et européenne dans son architecture et sa culture, était la capitale du royaume Lane Xang du XIVe au XVIe siècle, ainsi que le centre du culte bouddhiste la région. Le vieux quartier situé sur une péninsule au confluent des rivières Mékong et Nam Khan, entouré de montagnes verdoyantes, offre une beauté naturelle complétée par le savoir-faire des palais, des temples et des maisons traditionnelles de Louangphrabang.
Un petit parc à l'extrémité de la péninsule de Luang Prabang où les fleuves Mékong et Nam Khan se rejoignent.
Wat Xieng Thong, autrefois connu sous le nom de « Temple de la Ville d'Or », revêt une grande importance culturelle, historique et architecturale. Il est situé dans un endroit serein près de la pointe de la péninsule, au confluent des rivières Mékong et Nam Khan, avec un grand escalier menant au Mékong. Pendant des siècles, elle a été considérée comme la porte d'entrée cérémonielle de la ville, les dignitaires en visite et les rois sur le point d'être couronnés arrivant par ces marches. (Frais d'entrée 30 000 kips)
Le temple a été construit en 1718 par le roi Kitsarath avec 100 000 pierres du fleuve Mékong. Cela signifie littéralement "Temple de 100 000 trésors"
[Le musée est fermé le dernier jeudi de chaque mois et ne peut pas être visité] Le Palais Royal, qui est aujourd'hui le musée national et construit par les colonialistes français entre 1904 et 1909, présente une belle collection d'objets et vous offre un aperçu du histoire et culture fascinantes du Laos. (Frais d'entrée 60 000 kips)
Le centre d’information sur les UXO (ordonnances non explosées) montre les ravages que le Laos continue de subir à la suite de la deuxième guerre d’Indochine. (fermé samedi et dimanche)
Le plus ancien temple bouddhiste datant du XVIe siècle, connu pour son grand stupa au dôme de pastèque. (Frais d'entrée 30 000 kips)
Le mont Phousi est une colline de 100 m de haut au centre de la vieille ville, située sur la péninsule entre les fleuves Mékong et Nam Khan. En tant que point culminant de la ville, il offre la vue panoramique la plus célèbre et la plus appréciée de la ville. Au sommet, le stupa doré et brillant de Wat Chom Si trône fermement et accueille les visiteurs de la montagne. Il a été construit en 1804 sous le règne du roi Anourouth et est devenu un symbole de la signification spirituelle de Luang Prabang. (Frais d'entrée 30 000 kips)

Covered all of the sites and my guide was very knowledgable about the city, temples and culture. He recommended a fabulous restaurant.
I quit the tour in the middle of the show. The driver was doing other activities with the car, so much that we could not leave our belongings in the car, and he took a long time to catch us, which delayed us. At some point, the guide suggested picking up a tuktuk because the driver did not answer the phone, even though we hired the air-conditioned car for a private tour.
Guide was very good and show many temple. I not understand all history but it very beautiful and gold. Lunch on banana leaf was top. Thank you for good day in Laos.
"Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the day in Laos with our guide. Sounds like the temples and lunch on a banana leaf were highlights 😊. Appreciate your kind words, hope to welcome you back!"
Our guide, Boun arrived promptly to collect us from our hotel and was super informative throughout the whole trip. We learned so much more than if we had ventured out alone. We visited the morning market and on the walk down the street, Boun pointed out various landmarks such as the best coffee house, the various royal palaces, the old cinema and radio station and how UNESCO help with the upkeep of many very old buildings. He pointed out many different fruits, vegetables and spices at the market and what they were all used for. We visited the Royal Palace Museum which is steeped in history and has so many artefacts which Boun was able to explain to us. Remember to take long trousers or a sarong to cover the legs and shoulders when going inside each section. You must also remove your shoes so wear socks! We then climbed up Phousi Mountain (328 steps to the top) but with stunning views over the river to the mountains beyond. A driver picked us up when we had descended again and we were provided with cool towels and bottled water before going to Wat Xiengthong (Temple of the Golden City) and our final stop was Wat Sensoukharam (Temple of 100,000 treasures) We can definitely recommend this tour!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! 😊 We're glad Boun made your walking tour so informative and memorable. Sounds like you got a great mix of culture, history, and local insights. Thanks for the tips about the Royal Palace Museum and Phousi Mountain - will pass those on. Glad you enjoyed the tour, hope to welcome you back to Luang Prabang!"
A jam packed day...12 hours...but it was amazing. Our guide was passionate and first rate. The cruise on the Mekong was a highlight.
Our city tour in Laos with Sa was absolutely outstanding and easily one of the highlights of our entire trip. From start to finish, Sa was knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly passionate about sharing the heart and soul of Laos with us. The alms ceremony was truly unforgettable—a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever. Sa explained the meaning and traditions behind the ceremony with such respect and depth, allowing us to participate in a way that felt authentic, meaningful, and deeply moving. It wasn’t just something we watched; it was something we genuinely felt. Throughout the city tour, Sa brought every stop to life with fascinating history, local insight, and thoughtful stories that made us see Laos through a completely different lens. The pace was perfect, the experience felt personal, and Sa was always attentive to our comfort and questions. If you are visiting Laos, booking a city tour with Sa is an absolute must. This was more than a tour—it was a cultural experience we will never forget. We cannot recommend Sa highly enough!
We’re so grateful for your positive feedback, It means the world to us that you appreciated to our team. takes pride in going above and beyond to ensure our customers always have an unforgettable experience.”
Brilliant day trip. Such a range of experiences and sights. Our guide, Boun, was very knowledgeable and interesting and the travel around the city was seamless. The lunch stop was perfect and my favourite part was learning about silk production and weaving. Great day, thank you!
😊 Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear you had a brilliant day exploring Luang Prabang with our guide Boun! 😊 It's fantastic that you enjoyed the range of experiences, sights, and seamless travel around the city. Boun's knowledge and passion for the local culture really make a difference, and we're glad you loved learning about silk production and weaving as much as you did! 🌟 If you have any more adventures in Laos, we'd love to help make them just as memorable!
I was collected bright and early for the Full City Tour. Very helpful guide, Boun, who ensured we went to a quieter area for the Alms Giving. These entailed a lot of waiting around which, while wasn't a problem, could've been planned earlier. Otherwise, all well planned and executed. Went to Phousi Hill in the morning instead of sunset which I was OK with. Very happy. All boxes ticked.
😊 Nice one! Sounds like Boun nailed the Full City Tour 🎉! Kudos for adapting to the Alms Giving wait - quieter spot was a win 👍. Swapping Phousi Hill to morning = bonus views 🌅! Glad all boxes were ticked and you had a fab day out 😄! Anything you'd change or wanna explore next in Luang Prabang?
We went for the private Luang Prabang city tour including alms giving in the morning at 5.30am, morning market, 4 hr guided tour of the sights in Luang Prabang, and a Mekong cruise. Our tour guide Thin was absolutely fantastic. Knowledgeable, he patiently answered all our questions, and best of all, managed to get us to places at quieter times. E.g. took us to the top of Mount Phousie for 12 noon in time for the beating of the big drum. On the Mekong cruise we even stopped at an elephant sanctuary for lunch where we got to feed an elephant. Beautiful sunset and a cold beer on the way back to Luang Prabang after a long day. Could not have been better.
.“Wow, thanks for the 5-star rating and review, We’re elated to hear that you found our Tour intuitive and easy to use. The team works hard to guarantee our presence is as user-friendly as possible.”
Alms giving to the monks in a respectful environment. We visited most of the Royal Palace and the major temples. A unique waterfall experience. Tony took into consideration our physical limitations and accommodated us. We had a great day!
