Vietnam & Laos Explorer - 15 days

A journey through Vietnam and Laos will leave you energized and inspired. Be moved by the smiling faces of the enduring people and enlightened by an encounter with Buddhist monks in Luang Prabang. Be thrilled by the raucous street life in Saigon and Hanoi, and enchanted by the history and peace in Hoi An and Hue, then decompress on the banks of the Mekong in Vientiane. All this is set against a stunning backdrop of sweeping mountains, verdant fields and sparkling bays.

1.  Experience the daily life of a local on the eco fishing tour in Hoi An, and learn to paddle your own basket boat.
2.  At a fair-trade silk weaving organization in Vientiane learn about this fine art whilst ensuring profits are returned to the community.
3.  A unique interaction with a monk at the serene Wat Mai reveals the philosophy and lifestyle of the dominant religion of Laos.

Their insight and knowledge means you can expect experiences no guidebook can offer, and you will be inspired by their passion. Having them accompany you for the entire journey means they can impart their vast knowledge and experience of the local culture and history and can answer any questions you may have.
