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.

Beautiful and well-planned holiday with activities that both parents and children enjoyed. The tour guide was excellent with the children; he went above and above to give us detailed information about his home country, his family, what it's like to grow up there. We felt so welcomed there.

One of the most remote regions in Southeast Asia, Northern Laos is a stronghold for subsistence farming tribal communities. Over 30 unique tribes maintain traditional culture and customs, living out life in the remote and inaccessible hills and valleys like their ancestors have for generations.This 9-day journey takes riders deep into the heart of hilltribe country on a rugged and wild ride filled with raw adventure.
This mountain biking adventure delves into the wild and mountainous backyard of this fascinating patchwork of tribal people, by single track and dirt village roads. Beginning in charming Luang Prabang, veer far off the tourist trail and into mountainous tribal territory as you work your way through mountain valleys and villages. Encounter authentic tribal communities, breathtaking mountain scenery, and unparalleled off-road and single track riding, before returning to Luang Prabang. Climb into the hills, through thick jungle pathways, isolated mountainsides, and remote river valleys on a journey that's as rewarding as it is challenging. Meet curious locals who are certainly not used to mountain bikers, and take in virgin views of some of Southeast Asia's most impressive scenery by day, and a clear, starry sky by night.
Join us on this 9-day pure trail adventure, waiting for you in Laos!
