  • Scenic Train Journey: Vientiane to Dien Bien Phu 8-Day reviewer 1
    · April 1st, 2023
    Our guide in Vientiane and Wong, our guide to Luang Prabang, made our entire experience meaningful and enjoyable. It is possible Legend Travel has internal challenges, as the prearranged tour was changed, and the final itinerary provided was “last minute” and not what we agreed to in December. We are flexible travelers, and Wong and our drivers were all mature and experienced enough to make the required adjustments. I give the guides/drivers a solid 10 and the tour company a 4.

    · February 23rd, 2023
    Laos appeals to people interested in different things: mountain hiking and climbing, history and culture, and to the traveler who looks for a country that is not a touristed place. I have several recommendations to improve the trip we took: 1. Vientiane would be more interesting if information about the government of Laos,and a history of how Vientiane came to be the capitol was included. We like guides who want to share information on what we are seeing! 2. DO NOT TAKE PEOPLE ON A 3 DAY VAN RIDE FROM Vientiane to Luang Prabang! The roads are the worst we have ever encountered and three days is too much!
