    Please read Victoria's December review as it also reflects our views. We have suggested the itinerary be made more accurate and achievable. But, importantly, the guides were flexible and adjusted to our needs; we cut out some temples and waterfalls but added zip wire rides! If you are english ask for Joy to drive you from Vientiane, safe and fast with a good sense of humour. Overall a most enjoyable tour and thoroughly recommended.

    Private trip was good but some points can be improved. It would be helpful if the separate payment needed for flights is shown more clearly. The timings in the plan are somewhat unrealistic as the roads in Laos aren't in great shape and driving takes much longer so we missed planned activities several times. Also, it promised an elephant sanctuary visit but this doesn't exist anymore which seems like false advertising. Really not great. The guides were nice. The cars and drivers were good. The hotels were nice and we were happy with them.

    High quality- with a smile of Laotian!!! Legend Travel Group was the local operator for our whole Laos tour from Vientiane to Pakse - everything worked as planned. All transport, all activities and all hotels worked out fine and of high quality most of it and affordable. The only thing they could work on is their guides - their English and their knowledge of the things we visit. It was not bad but it could be better - they share this challenge with most other companies in Asia. All in all I can highly recommend Legend Travel Group as your local operator for your Laos & Asia tours.

    "Overall" should be 5 stars (cannot get back to correct). This tour was packed with site visits and activities and addressed our interests exactly. All the logistics worked perfectly. Hotels had some quirks but were in good locations and had character - good 3 star accommodation. The two guides were excellent - knowledgeable, and very supportive. We consider this tour to have been very good value for money, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that it was just the two of us plus guide and driver

    Many waterfalls, don't expect a lot from your stay in vang vien. The hotel was average, but rhe Plain of jars is very important to see. All other hotels are nice.
