Traveler Reviews
Lovely driver and guide. Punctual pick up in tuk tuk then joined by 3 other tourists. Guide's English was excellent. Taken to see 2 temples and royal palace/national museum. Really nice day, good pace. Finished with coffee which was paid for by the tour operator, which was a nice gesture. Collected at 8.30am and finished by 2pm.

We had a wonderful excursion with Oun as our guide. He explained every detail and made it worthwhile. Stories behind the Temples, the UXO trip was an eye opener as well.

I did the Half day City Tour, Cooking class and Sunset Cruise. Overall it was a good tour. Thomas and his team were very quick to respond to emails. The local tour guide gave a lot of information about Laos in general. Very educational for me. The cooking class with Tamarind restaurant was excellent. The sunset cruise was great as well.
Areas that could be improved: punctuality. My pick-up was between 8-8:30am. I went to the lobby of the hotel at 8:15 and met Ken. Around 8:30, he said there was a car problem so would move it to 9:00am. The local tour guide said he didn't know about the tour and was only informed at 8:30am so he was a bit late. Not really sure what happened.
I was also late for my cooking class. All other participants waited for me. I was in the hotel lobby at 4pm but they arrived at 4:30pm. The cooking class starts at 4:30pm.
I think we were not late for the sunset cruise.
Other than that, the overall experience was good.

This was our first visit to Laos and after doing some research online, decided that Laos Group Tours seemed to be getting the best reviews for what we wanted.
We booked a custom, private, half day city tour, and half day driving off road to visit hill tribe communities. Our guide was Mr. Anong Toulangern. We also arranged for airport transfers with this same company. Everything was smooth, prompt, and exactly as described.
Aside from the having the insights of our local guide, we appreciated getting to know him on a more personal level as well (as this really is where the local insight comes from, more so than just viewing attractions). Anong was very personable, accommodating, and had good command of the English language to fully articulate the significance of what we were experiencing.
It was also a very nice touch that, after an hour of touring outdoors, we would return to the vehicle with ice cold waters and cold towel packs to try to cool down from the intense heat and humi
