International Expeditions’ 16-day Laos and Vietnam vacation package invites you to embark on an authentic look at the most sacred wats and traditional villages in Southeast Asia, while learning about daily life from the friendly locals. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic can trace its history back to the 14th century, when it was known as Lan Xang — Land of a Million Elephants, and this sweeping Laos tour and Vietnam travel adventure ensures a comprehensive look at the rich abundance of natural beauty, culture, history, ceremony, architecture and tradition these lands have to offer.

Throughout your Laos and Vietnam vacation package, enjoy an authentic adventure taking in daily life in remote villages — some so isolated they do not even speak the national language — along with a look at Hanoi and Saigon, cities that have shaped our modern history. On your small-group Laos tour and Vietnam travel vacation you will journey with no more than 12 guests and it will include an elephant ride in the Xe Pian National Protected Area, tours by cyclo-rickshaw and sampan boat, and even an overnight cruise on Halong Bay aboard a traditional junk.
