Reviews

The trip was well planned and executed. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. The trip involved a lot of driving along rough roads, to get from Luang Prabang to the plain of Jars and then on to Van Vieng, which was unavoidable, but not comfortable after driving all day just looking out of the bus window.

Overall a very good holiday, guides were excellent and all arrangements worked well. The only suggested improvement was to the chosen hotels in Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Both were located too far away from the city centre and night life.

Service rating :

The tour from start to finish was excellently structured and organised. The tour guides on each leg of the tour were exceptional. Their knowledge and their caring of their ‘family’ made the whole tour a great experience. Nothing was too much trouble

Product :

Overall everything was excellent. I would add that the Le Duy Hotel in Saigon was not the best. Whilst clean and tidy, the facilities were very basic. No room for everyone to congregate, no real bar area.
The Mercury Vientiane was a tired looking hotel with regards to the rooms and we had cockroaches.
In Laos we visited the Ban Na Ouane village which none of our group enjoyed. The children being used to sell goods to the tourists in that way was awful. A better visit would have been to the Heritage House in Luang Prabang which we did ourselves. Very good

Would have proffered to go to Luang Prabang from Bankok airport rather than spend a night in Bankok when starting the holiday
