Recommendations for travel agencies in Laos and Cambodia

Hello, We’re planning to travel at the beginning of 2026 (a couple) to visit these two countries (Laos and Cambodia). We’re looking for local travel agencies to organize our trip with a driver and vehicle. For accommodation, staying with locals suits us just fine. If any seasoned travelers have reliable recommendations, we’d love to hear them. Thanks! Best regards, Lionel 1946

Hi Lionel, For my 4th trip to Laos, I went through Lawheels Travel. They created a custom itinerary for me—slightly off the beaten path but still including the must-sees. They were very attentive, offered a good deal at a reasonable price, and included lots of experiences beyond the usual tourist trails I’d already done. The pace was great, with plenty of opportunities to meet locals, and a fantastic guide who adjusted the program with me based on opportunities that came up.

LAOWHEELS TRAVEL VIENTIANE MOBILE and WHATSAPP: +856 (0) 20 55 504 604 Messenger: Christophe KITTIRATH

For the guide, Chanthavong Kaopraseuth (nickname Mr. Vong): "My WhatsApp number is +856 20 55571033. Share it with your friends for their visit to 🇱🇦 Laos—thank you in advance!" (Taken from his last message, since we’re still in touch. During COVID, he started his own business.)

If it’s not too late, I can also recommend another agency I’ve tried.

Happy planning!

Eric

hi,

A really great agency: **Cambodge Autrement** and **Laos Autrement** Awesome communication, follow-ups, a tailor-made program off the beaten path, and accommodations far from mass tourism. Excellent!

Have a great day, Christine

Hi, I always find it odd when the first post is a recommendation for an agency... Despite your extensive backpacking experience, in 7 months of membership, you really couldn’t find any other answers to give to the many questions asked in the forum by those who needed help?

Hello,

A really great agency: Cambodia Autrement and Laos Autrement. Super communication, follow-up, a tailor-made program off the beaten track, accommodations far from mass tourism. Really great!

Have a nice day, Christine

Thanks for the info! If you could give me more details about their website or an address where I can get in touch, that’d be great. Thanks! Best regards, Lionel

Hi Éric, Thanks for this info—I’ll get in touch with this agency. I’ll reach out again for more details. Thanks again! Have a great day, Lionel S

Hi there, For Cambodia, I’ve also been four times since 1994!! Watch out—there are agencies with almost identical names: Un Monde Autrement vs. Cambodge autrement https://www.cambodgeautrement.com/

And Voyage Autrement with Terre Cambodge and Siem Reap à la carte

Not the same services at all!! There are other local agencies too. Happy to help if you’d like. Eric

Hello, The two WhatsApp numbers you gave me aren’t working? LAOWHEELS TRAVELVIENTIANE MOB and WHATS APP: +856 (0) 20 55 504 604 Messenger: Christophe KITTIRATH

Hello, what aggression! Speaking without knowing... I’ve been registered for a long time under another username, chris13—you can check, and I’ve replied to many messages. When the site went dormant, I couldn’t recover my login details, so I re-registered... that’s the whole story, and there’s nothing to worry about—I’m not a travel agency if that’s what you’re implying!! I’m heading to Laos in February with Laos Autrement, which is why I’m sharing my experience, since I also traveled with them to Cambodia... I hope that answers your concerns. Have a wonderful day! Christine

Sure enough, it’s truly "a different world." Online quote for a first contact. Have a great day!

Hello, Sorry for asking around—I’m gathering info.

For Laowheels Travel, the agency still appears in the 2025 Petit Futé guide, which recommends Christophe Kittirath (I’d seen that before).

I’ll contact Mr. Vung, or his daughter as a backup—she just earned her francophone guide diploma after studying in northern France during 2023/2024. Happy researching to you! Eric

Hi again, I just tried Mr. Vung’s number (Chanthavong Kaopraseuth) and reached him by phone without any issues about 30 minutes ago (watch out for the time difference). He confirmed that Laowheels Travel is still operating and that Christophe is still working there, just as mentioned in the *Petit Futé*. Good luck!

Hi

If any seasoned travelers have reliable recommendations, we’d love to hear them.

A great spot for an immersive experience in a traditional Katu village on the Bolaven Plateau near Tad Lo (guaranteed change of scenery). Somphone Homestay, Salavan Road, Ban Lavang Somphone.homestay@gmail.com
