    We were lucky that there were only 2 of us on this tour as we had to go to hospital on the first morning. The guide went out of his way to do the full program in the afternoon. That was a bit overdone, especially in the heat. But he wanted to give value for money. Luang Prabang was much more relaxed and perfectly spaced. I recommend this trip.

    Overall we thought the tour was very good. The places that were selected to visit were excellent. Overall Legend Tours did a good job. They were responsive when we contacted them and seemed quite friendly. At times it appeared that the Legend Groups representatives (Tony & Danny) weren’t paying enough attention to the questions we had concerning the details of our tour (please see the string of correspondence with them on your web site). The local Vientiane tour guide (Sai) was absolutely outstanding! His knowledge and ability to speak and understand English was excellent. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and taken care of. The tour guide in Luang Prabang was good too but his knowledge and ability to speak and understand English was limited. The lunch we had after visiting the caves wasn’t very good but the other two lunches included while in Luang Prabang were delicious.

    A well planned trip with a great mix of activities and free time. The drivers were excellent and the three different guides I had for different legs of the journey were knowledgeable, friendly and able to answer any questions I had. Highlights were the cruise on the Mekong and learning about the history and cultures of Laos.

    Good four day tour of Laos covering Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Last day felt a bit superfluous - was spent going round a market and visiting a second weaving demonstration (had already seen one in Luang Prabang). Would have preferred to have seen other sights of Vientiane. Tour guides were fantastic. The driver in Luang Prabang was excellent, but the one in Vientiane was 20 minutes late both days and didn't even acknowledge me at any stage (?language, but a smile and "hi" would have been nice). overall, was a great first visit to a beautiful and otherwise friendly country - well organised.
