Tour description
Vientiane takes on a very different look as daylight fades, and on this evening walking tour, a local storytelling guide will lead you through illuminated alleys to discover the legends, mysteries, and darker tales woven into the city's history. This is an enchanting Vientiane brimming with lore.
You will gather at the central historic square as the day comes to a close, listening to ghost stories and legends beside heritage buildings, and wandering through dimly lit ancient alleys and hidden corners. Along the way, your guide will bring the city's past myths, crimes, and figures vividly to life. Captivating and eerie, it is a magical Vientiane under the lights.
