Itinerary
Day 1: Vientiane
After meeting your CEO and fellow travellers this evening, wander through the bustling night market along the Mekong River. Pick up a street beer or tea as you browse through the stalls of souvenirs and local delicacies. Follow your CEO to grab the best street food — or, you know, follow your nose.

Pre-book the "Vang Vieng Adrenaline Bundle" on the checkout page ahead of time to include this excitement on your tour.

Good way to explore a country while still having some flexibility in the activities.
12/04/2023
The range of activities, the quality of tour guide, the accessibility of travel. It is nice to not be worried when travelling to so many places

It was really hard joining a new group and it's luck of the draw what group you join. Members of my group openly said that they could not be bothered with other people joining and getting to know them. I would have liked to know in advance that I was joining another tour. The 10 hour bus and 2 day boat ride ate into so much of the trip. It would be good to give the option to get the fast train and/or fly. I feel like I spent more time in transport when I should have been exploring laos. There was so many activities we could have done. Blue lagoon - did not get much time here at all because a member of the group was tired. I didn't think this was fair to the rest of us.

I really enjoyed the experience but would have liked some more activities included, such as a guided walk round Luang Prabang/Chiang Mai to learn more about the places we were visiting
11/24/2023
The tour was good, although more time in both Van Vieng and Luang Prabang would be nice. People who joined the circuit tour later felt a little on the social outer.

Putting 3 people on a tour with 15 others who are travelling for 3 months together, making it impossible to socialize. For the rest was this tour way too expensive, it was just travelling whole days and sleeping in hostels. And your customer solutions teams is ignoring me for 3 weeks, so that's why I'm filling in this form now.

I felt that the Laos tour had too many travel days and wasted a lot of time. We only really did activities on 3 full days - it would be better to do overnight trains
11/22/2023
The trip is well organized and includes so much to see in shirt time. However, this makes it exhausting, so one should be aware of that ( I like it that way and would not change it )

Sam Dollar, one the best guides I have had. Although, this was my first G Adventures tour. I was not a big fan of separating tours this never recommended this one to be done again. As really hard to bound with group although dollar did amazing job making very one feel comfortable & have fun. Always there for you.

It is very convenient to travel with a CEO and don't need planning. However, there are many additional cost as most events are optional and therefore with additional cost
11/04/2023
The itinerary was packed with a variety of things to do and you never had to worry about getting places. You feel safe travelling in a new place with the group and there's always someone to do things with or give you ideas of where to go.

Good value and amazing CEO experience

G Adventures in general have good tours, however I had 1 negative experience, wrote 8 or 9 emails requesting assistance and never heard from them, after the one negative experience and receiving no help from G Adventures I wouldn't ever recommend them.
