All round a good trip, a good introduction to a country I didn't know much about.
Using the train to get to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang is a smoother and faster way to get to places than going by road, but you are not allowed to take anything which could be considered as a weapon (as in hand luggage on a plane), even in your luggage - it will screened and items confiscated.
Fortunately the guide was able to get things taken from group members taken to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang by road.
I would recommend this trip if you are interested in visiting south east Asia.

Our guide really made the trip more than anything but the itinerary was very well put together with so much of such a huge country being covered in such a short time. This is my first trip travelling like this and it is by far the best holiday I've ever had, I feel like I made genuine friends with all my companions and never felt lonely despite arriving in the country on my own.
