★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 87 reviews · from $44

Review of Luang Prabang city sights and Kuang Si Falls, with temple tips, timing, costs, guides, crowds, and practical advice.

“Our guide, Buon, was superb. He took us around Luang Prabang, walking through the morning market, to the temples, the oldest home (100 year old UNESCO heritage site). He was full of of insights and explained details we could have easily missed. He told us the legend behind Kwangsi falls which made it more magical to us. We walked through the rainforest, saw the falls, checked the bears as well. He also timed our tour perfectly with lunch close to the falls. He bought us watermelons after the tour since it was getting hot. I would recommend this tour and Boun to anyone going to Luang Prabang.”
