The trip and the CEOs were amazing - the hill tribe trek stood out as a true highlight as a unique experience I couldn’t have organised myself.

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.

I had a wonderful time! Everything was very easy and I especially enjoyed how outdoorsy this trip was. Laos is completely different from its neighbouring countries - it’s very slow paced and relaxed which really helps to make the most of its epic nature. This trip really covers the best of Laos - it would have taken me at least twice the time to have been able to achieve all of this on my own.
