Perfect way to acquaint yourself with beautiful Luang Prabang, both food and culture-wise. Our Host, Mister Somsay speaks perfect English and has good humour. He not only showed us the many flavours (especially those specific to Luang Prabang, and its region), but we also were able to appreciate the way of life for many residents, and their daily happenings. So many things to sample, and all curiosities are answered. Topped off with a humble visit/offering at one of the more popular Temples, meeting with its Head Monk - so much more personable than tourists morning alms giving. Yummy lunch at a popular spot to end the experience. Highly Recommend for all ages :)

Wonderful time spent with Mister Somsay learning about Laung Prabang thru food, culture and tradition. Started our day with a coffee (or whatever your morning drink might be), and delicious breakfast at one of the town's most renowned local noodle shops --> then off to our adventures. Markets, shops, pathways and grass-ways: we sampled so many new and interesting foods that are best known from Luang Prabang, that kept our energy high. Mister Somsay is cheerful as he greets the vendors with smiles and chats...his English is near perfect, and translates anything you wish. Highly recommend this experience: time well enjoyed.
