Laos Tours and Exhilarating Travel

Just to let you know that we are now back in Malaysia, having completed yet another wonderful holiday organised by Exotissimo.
 
We had a fabulous time in Laos and really loved meeting the people and visiting the various sights, and we especially enjoyed the food and the wonderful coffee. The trek into the forest with Bertrand to discover the Orchids was fantastic, even though we knew nothing about Orchids (we do now) and even though it rained quite heavily on us. Our Guide & Driver were also wonderful with a fantastic depth of knowledge and a warmth & enthusiasm that made us feel really relaxed.
 
And of course we enjoyed our return visit to Phu Quoc, which we undertook at our own pace and again despite some rain had a wonderful time.
 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, and all the other folks at Exotissimo who were involved, for all your help. I am sure we will return to Laos again in the future to see some more of your wonderful country and we will most definitely be calling on Exotissimo when we do so.
 
Thank you all very much,

Laos and Vietnam Tour - June 2009

We are all so happy and better informed about life in Southeast Asia after the trip you so carefully organized for us.

Everything went so smoothly and our guides were perfect in their knowledge, timing and appreciation of any requests we made and answering all the questions we asked. We are certainly much better equipped to tell the world about Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

It was a glorious and fast trip and we wasted no time seeing as many sights as we could fit in. When I mentioned My Son, the heritage sight, our guide spent a free morning taking us round it in the heat of the day. I still have your schedule to remind me of which temples we saw where as there were so many to admire and absorb.
 
All the drivers were excellent and attentive and always on time, like our guides. The restaurants were very diverse and produced some excellent dishes according to the time of day and type of food.  We did eat as much local as possible, simple to learn as well as enjoy.
 
Our hotels were very interesting and all perfect for our needs. You chose so well because we were journeying at such speed we needed to keep life simple and uncomplicated in order to get the most out of each new place we visited.
 
My best,

Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos Tour - April 2010

Hello Xang,

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed our trip with you from Houey Say to Luang Prabang. Thank you for your kindness, your help with everything from food to happy rooms, your good company and your music.

I have so many good memories of our experiences, the hardest things often make the best memories. I especially enjoyed our trek with Soiyae to the Akha villages. I found the walking challenging but well worth it.

I have made some Lao food for my husband since I have been back in Australia - he really likes Larp Gai, spring rolls and fish soup. I want to make him some pho. I have been finding recipes on the internet for the things I want to try.

We loved your city of Luang Prabang - what a beautiful place to live.

We ended our trip with some time in Vietnam but we all agreed that we had fallen in love with your country of Laos. I am sure that having you as a guide was a big part of what made our trip so enjoyable.

Best wishes to you and your family,

Rosemary Ward (Romey)

Overall holiday was super. Tour suggestions, timing were excellent.

I saw and learned a lot in a little time. Most importantly, the guide was superb.

He was knowledgeable, courteous, and very patient and accommodating. I highly recommend him.
