Image of Northern Laos 6 Days 5 nights
wow what a trip!!
we have travelled to many countries around the world, and I was looking for something new to add to a mekong cruise from Cambodia to Vietnam. Laos seemed the perfect choice, being only a 1.5-hour flight from ho chi minh. and a 1 hour flight to Thailand (for our return flights home). after contacting exotic tours, they were extremely helpful putting together a bespoke package for the 6 days we had available. the hotels we had in Vientiane and luang Prabang were both perfect, staff spoke English and were extremely helpful. the tour guides were both on time to pick us up and transport us safely around. I can't thank the tour guides enough for a great experience. the country is very safe we wandered around on an evening and it is also very clean and less populated than other Asian countries.
