I did the overnight hike to a Khmu village. Guys, if you were wondering whether to go or not - absolutely do it. It was everything I hoped it to be and more. I will remember the experience for the rest of my life

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.

If you spend a few days in Luang Prabang I really recommend you organize tours with them. They promote a truly beautiful idea of sustainable tourism, supporting the local population, and the activities are very well organized. They are a big family always ready to help.

From the remarkably relaxed capital of Vientiane, to enchanting, beautifully preserved former capital of Luang Prabang. Discover the spellbinding magic of Laos. Timeless temples, saffron clad monks and spectacular scenery abound!
We booked a great tour at short notice (17 km around Luang Prabang). Our guide was great and made the tour unforgettable. He was able to answer all questions about nature and the villagers and accompanied us well throughout the day. We also found the sustainability aspect very convincing. Any time!!

A region endowed with immense natural beauty and an ancient past, Luang Prabang is best seen through a local's eyes. Interested in exploring this area? Then we have the perfect tour for you.
Meet your tour guide at our sales office early in the morning for a forty-minute drive to Pak Ou Village where you are free to explore the many crafts that the locals make before crossing the mighty Mekong River by a small boat to the base of a limestone cliff, the site of the Pak Ou Caves. Take your time to explore the impressive lower grottos filled with Buddhist statues and scented with burning incense. Grab a flashlight and head up through a winding series of stairs to find another fascinating and easily navigable cave filled with ancient Buddhist relics.
Enjoy your lunch before crossing the Mekong again by boat and continue with a drive downriver for one and a half hours to the famous Kuang Si Waterfall. On the way, we’ll stop to see the popular Whiskey Village where you have the option to sample the locally made Lao Lao.
The jungle around the waterfall remains lush and beautiful year-round. The waterfall cycles between placid, turquoise waters during the dry season to impressive, roaring falls during the rainy season. Either way, you’re in for a refreshing and beautiful nature experience. Integrated into the landscape is an Asiatic bear sanctuary where you can see these beautiful creatures up close and support efforts to care for the animals in the area.
We’ll end this full-day trip with a return drive to Luang Prabang late in the afternoon.
Please note that the stairs in the lower Pak Ou Cave are short but steep. Access to the upper cave is via a fairly long series of stairs and can be taken at your own pace.
The Pak Ou Cave and Kuang Si Waterfall lie to the north and south of Luang Prabang city, respectively. This tour will take you to both these highlights, with a scenic drive up and down the length of the Mekong River between.

Incredible destinations, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable experiences made this tour exceptional. However, what truly set it apart was our CEO guide, Apple. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, organization, humor, and passion for her role enhanced every moment. She handled challenges fearlessly and, above all, ensured the safety of every traveler. I would highly recommend G Adventures to friends and family, and Apple as the guide. Thank you, Apple, for an amazing journey!

Overall this was a great tour that I would certainly recommend taking! Although I certainly could’ve stayed at some of our stops longer, I never felt rushed and felt the tour did a great job of giving enough time to see most if not all of what I wanted to. This was a great introduction to Southeast Asia and this trip has certainly inspired me to come back for a longer visit. The guides and group were fantastic and always had me smiling and laughing.
