Laos Tours

The trip was well planned and free of glitches. Top-notch tour guides and drivers made the trip most enjoyable. Five-star accommodations were greatly appreciated after long days of touring.

Excellent trip.

For improvements, there are a couple of items.

The first tour guide in Hanoi did the minimum. He didn’t escort us through some of the exhibits and explain what we were looking at, for example, the "Hanoi Hilton." He also didn’t escort us into the airport on departure. All the other tour guides escorted us through the exhibits and brought us into the airport for check-in.

Flights in-country were middle seat and window. We expressly stated we did not want cheap seats on a 30k trip.

We wanted a cooking program one day. None of the activities met our stated expectations.

Our trip with Zicasso’s travel company, organized by our wonderful and thoughtful travel specialist, was nothing short of perfect. We had wonderful guides and drivers in every stop, perfect hotels (each unique and special in their own way), and endlessly interesting activities. It was an amazingly well-planned and well-run trip!

We enjoyed very much our trip to Indochina. Zicasso’s travel company did a fantastic job.

With the exception of a problem at the hotel in Hong Kong, all scheduling by Zicasso's travel company was superb. The guides were quite good, and extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.

Our trip far exceeded our expectations. Every component of the trip was well planned and seamless. The hotels were perfect for us. We enjoyed the balconies a great deal.

The guides and drivers could not have been better. They were polite, always on time or early, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable. In Cambodia, it was very hot and we were biking. The driver would just show up at times with water and cold towels for us. We felt so pampered. Guides would rearrange the schedules according to the weather and our wishes. They even added events that we were interested in. One guide even offered to do an extra food tour one evening since he was free.

There were so many highlights arranged by the Zicasso travel company I cannot name them all. They included the day with the elephants, a blessing by a monk who took time to chat with us, the alms-giving at 6am in Laos, and even a private dinner in a literal treehouse.

This was a vacation of dreams. It could not have been better. I would recommend the travel company without any hesitation. Probably the best travel company we have ever dealt with!
