French colonial architecture with ancient Buddhist temples

You will be picked up from your hotel for a half-day city tour with your own personal guide. Your first stop in the World Heritage town of Luang Prabang is the Royal Palace Museum, which hosts a range of interesting artifacts including a gold Buddha statue. After a look around, take a short guided tour of the city’s oldest temple, Wat Sene, and the magnificent Wat Xiengthong; with its roof sweeping low to the ground, it's a good representation of classical Laotian architecture. Next, visit the impressive stupa of Wat Visoun and the shrine of Wat Aham. When your 5-hour tour concludes you will be returned to your hotel by private vehicle.
