4. Can you provide me with more details on the trip's price?

 

The price provided for this tour does not include international flights and is calculated based on 4 people with standard hotels. This tour is private and includes customized services. The price varies depending on the travel period, the chosen service category, and, most importantly, the number of travelers (the fewer people, the more expensive the trip, and vice versa). We invite you to contact us to obtain a detailed quote for your trip.

5. What is the best time to travel to Laos?

The ideal time to visit Laos depends on the seasons. There are two main seasons: the rainy season, from June to the end of September, and the dry season, which is divided into the cool dry season from October to March and the hot dry season from April to May. Generally, the best time to explore the entire country is from late October to early March.

For specific regions, the optimal times are:

  • Luang Prabang: November to early March
  • Northern Laos: Early October to late May
  • Central Laos: November to early March
  • Southern Laos: November to early March

Traveling during the rainy season offers lush and beautiful landscapes, better prices, fewer tourists, and easier service bookings, with rain mainly occurring at night, late afternoon, or early morning, and occasional showers during the day.

6. When and how is the balance of the trip paid?

As for the balance payment, you can settle it in one of the following ways:

  • In cash upon your arrival. We accept US dollars and Euros (USD/EUR exchange rate calculated on the day of payment). However, we do not accept defaced or excessively old banknotes. We kindly ask you to obtain new bills from your bank to avoid any inconveniences during your trip.

  • By credit card upon your arrival at our office (using our credit card terminal). In this case, there is an additional fee of 3% for our bank if you pay with Visa or Mastercard and 4% for payments with Amex. Payment is made in the local currency.

  • By bank transfer: We request that you complete this transfer no later than 10 days before your departure. This is to ensure that the balance of your trip is credited to our account before the start of your journey

7. What are the payment terms?

To make the deposit payment, you have two options:

  • Bank transfer: Our account details are provided in the travel invoice.
  • Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) through our bank's secure website. This payment method includes insurance as part of the card services (cancellation insurance, medical coverage, repatriation, etc.). However, please note that you will incur additional fees for our bank with this option: 3% extra on the deposit if you pay with Visa or Mastercard, and 4% extra on the deposit if you pay with American Express. Payment is made in the local currency."
8. When is the deadline for booking the trip?

We do not impose a deadline for booking, but it is advisable that you book both the flight tickets and the tour as early as possible. In fact, the earlier we make the reservations, the better the services, considering that the best providers may have limited availability. Therefore, our clients often book their trips 4-6 months in advance.
