Laos Tours for Experienced Travelers

Was great to be with a Guided Tour Group. Made it so easy to get around and worry free. Tour itinerary was wonderful and had enough free time to enjoy relaxing with new friends or by the pool. .

Fabulous trip, well balanced, varied and well thought out itinerary. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Accommodation was overall very good. Excellent Explore guide and local guides. Despite it being a “full on” paced trip I felt there was a good amount of down time providing opportunities to either have a massage, visit an elephant sanctuary (luang prabang) or browse around the local markets to buy local crafts. Loved it!! Whole trip was enhanced by being in a wonderful group

My first group trip Ever. I loved it. Explore from Booking to The actual trip excellent. Sometimes a bit slow in response to emails but all good. I think I’d like a Little more active itinerary next time I book a Trip.

A lovely tour - varied covering different parts, many involving the Mekong. Our guide Jackie was wonderful - competent and engaging. Really enjoyed his company. The local guides were all tremendous and we were lucky to have a group that mixed well and got om

Laos is very beautiful and full of unexpected highlights. In Cambodia we enjoyed the expected highlights! Our tour leader Jackie is one of the very best, and the local guides were also excellent. Just the quality of the accommodation was variable. I had very noisy room allocations for both the first 3 nights and the last 3 nights. The Sala Prabang has a room 101 facing the busy street. The Twitz hostel hotel in Cambodia has a very noisy 4th floor bar with live music and very poor sound insulation. This issue has been raised in the hope that better rooms will be secured for future trips, and anyone put in the same position might want to request a change of room straightaway, the hotel staff are well aware... Otherwise a fantastic trip!

Laos is a superb country to visit before mass tourism negatively impacts it. We saw fantastic waterfalls, the mighty Mekong river, ancient and modern Buddhist and Hindu temples, jungle, ethnic villages plus more. This was a very well organised tour, thanks largely to our fabulous main tour guide Jackie who is a brilliant communicator and a really lovely guy. Luang Prabang is a laid back and charming town. The accommodation was varied, some in resorts with a pool. We never went hungry. Food was cheap, plentiful and fresh. There was a good balance between organised group activities and free time. There was a long day of driving along a rough unmade road but the reward was a stay in a magical jungle resort surrounded by nature. I liked that we had a 2nd local guide in 4 locations.
