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

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.
The Spirit of Laox trip was excellent, great value for what was included. We especially liked the trip on the Mekong River, it was a lovely restful day inbetween alll the other full on days. We liked the amount of activities and trips provided by Explore and all were interesting and enjoyable . The tour leader, Silk, was great and he had a huge knowledge of the history of Laos and Cambodia which added to the interest The local guides, Tae and Pheng, in Laos were also very knowledgeable and helpful. We generally had a fantastic and are looking forward to our next trip with Explore
Very good trip. In Siam Riep, it would have been good to have some free time and maybe some trips other than to temples (e.g. land mine rats). Otherwise, a very good trip overall.
