A Great Company in Laos - We had a wonderful 10 days visiting Vientianne, Vang Vieng, Namkot, Luang Prabang and brought back beautiful and good memories home with us. Without Somsay and his excellent team we would not have achieved this. Our trip was flawless and enjoyable through Somsay's well prepared itinerary with great and awesome guides, drivers, hotel choices and restaurant recommendations. The Bamboo Experience was the highlight of our tour, learning so much about the culture, bamboo products, cooking class and weaving. Somsay is a great communicator, constantly checking with us on our trip, helpful, approachable and an indeed a pleasant person to deal with. We are so glad we booked with him. So if you are heading to Laos, Somsay is the person who want to deal with. Keep up the good work Somsay and we hope to see you in the future. Thank you for making our trip so wonderful♥

A morning of tasty bites and uniquely special monk’s blessing - Thanks to Phet, our guide, we had a fun and entertaining morning. He was on time, knowledgeable, personable, and informative. It was just as advertised. Going beyond the food tour aspects (Khao Soi, coffee, lots of morning market snacks), we had the monk’s blessing. We were guided through the process and we had an experience that was not part of a usual food tour. Highly recommended.

I would definitly book this tour again - I did my tour with Oun in the morning. It was extremly impressive to see the foodmarcet of the locals. So many fruits and interesting things i‘ve never seen before. Oun is a well known local and could answer all of my questions. I would defenitly book this tour again, i learned so much about the culture of laos. Thank you!

Stop researching other options - just hire Somsay and his team for a truly authentic Laotian experience - Somsay and his entire team were the epitome of the hospitality that the Laotian people are justifiably famous for. He was responsive, gracious and thoughtful. Somsay planned a 10 day customized trip for our family and every step was well-considered and helped us truly connect with local Laotian culture. I would recommend 110%.

wonderful day - Wonderful time spent with Mister Somsay learning about Laung Prabang thru food, culture and tradition. Started our day with a coffee (or whatever your morning drink might be), and delicious breakfast at one of the town's most renowned local noodle shops --> then off to our adventures. Markets, shops, pathways and grass-ways: we sampled so many new and interesting foods that are best known from Luang Prabang, that kept our energy high. Mister Somsay is cheerful as he greets the vendors with smiles and chats...his English is near perfect, and translates anything you wish. Highly recommend this experience: time well enjoyed.
