    Guide did not speak Lao or Thai at all. Does not make any sense to me. Is not helpfull at all. Everything was not organized well. I could have done on my own. Sometimes it even felt, like the Guide had no idea about the places we visited. Also communication between guide and travellers was poor. It almost felt like a school trip. There‘s way more… summarized: I cannot recommend this tour.

    Chai our tour leader was excellent. Incredibly helpful when organising extra bits and pieces and has helped me book numerous things for after the tour as well. The tour felt well organised the only downside was how long you spend actuallybtravelling on busses and boats etc.

    Pimm could answer all our questions and the organisation of the tour was really good! She gave us a lots of opportunities for daily activities and if we had a problem she cared for us! I really liked the local tips for example for food.

    Everything is so easy as all travel within the country is organised for you so there is no worrying. Also the tour guide is an azaming touch there is no language barrier as your tour guide knows the language and the guide is amazing for facts and knowledge about each country there is no way we would know have the stuff our tour guide told us and provided information for us if we were to do the travelling ourselves
