Laos Small Group Trips

Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Jackie was superb, well organised and always positive. One of the best Explore guides we've ever had! I would slightly change the itinerary on the first day in Vientiane. I would include the Buddha Park as part of the itinerary and go straight there for lunch from the Victory Gate rather than have a 45 minute break at the hotel, as it was too rushed at the Buddha Park.

We have just returned after 15 days through four destinations in Southeast Asia. The team organized the trip perfectly. We visited most of the highlight attractions. The culture, history, and cuisine in all four countries were rich and diverse. I was especially impressed by the Vietnamese food and the temples in Thailand. I hope we will have more time to explore Cambodia and Laos in the future. We will definitely choose them again for our next adventure in Southeast Asia. Highly recommended!

Our tour was an incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience, especially considering that it was the first run of the tour. I learned a lot about both countries and felt 100% invested in and part of the experiences, food, people and places. Something outside of your control that would have enhanced the experience was more tour members. We only had 4 guests, and there was a lot of together time for complete strangers. Fortunately we got along well.

I spent a couple of days myself in Bangkok and found that wonderful, not sure why no city activities are included, but those days definitely added to my view of Thailand. Also not sure why we didn't go to chiang mai but overall it provided a lovely contrast of history and current cultural and spiritual customs. And the scenery is beautiful

Apologies for this belated review. The Laos trip was led by the attentive, convivial and competent Quang. It's great to have someone else keep an eye on everything! The three key destinations gave us a bird's eye view of this diverse country. The optional tours were a great idea as it left scope for personal needs and interests. I loved the walks via villages; was moved by the visit to the landmine agency; sparked by the differences in the locations e.g. Luang Prabang sunset and (not all) older tourist hospitality (visited Ikon Bar); the age-old caves and Buddhist temples.
