Customer Reviews
Truly amazing trip, great combination to hike/ kayak on the mekong river- and cycling Ancor wat…lots of local experiences! Great guide- authentic! Highly recommend this colourful journey
Great trip. Well looked after and felt the balance of activities was good.
Interesting cultural experience with fun and active activities
This was an excellent trip both from the activities organised and the cultural insights, mainly from our guides. We were very well looked after and enjoyed a reasonable standard of accommodation and some very good food. I would suggest a change from the catfish curry at the floating village of Mechrey. Most of our group declined to try it given its provenance from a fairly contaminated river source. We all enjoyed our bike ride around the temples of Angkor Wat - a real highlight. I’d also like to make special mention of our first Laotian guide - Souk - who excelled in his role keeping us safe, informed and entertained.
Our tour through Laos & Cambodia was well organised with knowledgeable local guides. A great mixture of activities allowing us to experience wilderness areas and tourist attractions.
