    Asked on August 4th, 2025

    I am interested in this tour, but only if the Plain of Jars are included. I see it in the Highlights, but not in the actual itinerary. Is this no longer available?

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2025

      We no longer visit the Plain of Jars and are going to update the highlights to match the new itinerary. We don't offer a trip that goes there.
