Off the beaten track in Laos Traveller Reviews

The highlights of the holiday were: • Luang Prabang, which I loved. • The trip from Nong Kiau to Muang Ngoi and the Tham Kang cave. • The old town in Siem Reap, which had a great atmosphere, • Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom – which did not disappoint. I returned to Angkor Wat on my own in the evening, when there were fewer visitors, and much enjoyed it then!

East Travel was very helpful in recommending the itinerary and making all of the arrangements, and were very patient and extremely responsive in dealing with questions and changes.

We spent three and a half weeks travelling around Laos including a week with a guide & driver in the south of the country. We even saw the rare Irrawaddy dolphins. This was followed by 4 days in lovely Luang Prabang and then 12 days self drive exploring the North East taking in Nong Khiaw, Vieng Xai Caves, Plain of Jars and Vang Vieng. We ended with a 2 day Mekong River Cruise to the Thai border. The scenery was stunning, the food delicious and the Laoatians so friendly.

Our tour operator was excellent. They had a great understanding of our requirements and efficiently put together the perfect itinerary. They were helpful and friendly, offered suggestions and were happy to make amendments to ensure our needs were met. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
