Good time with Auasia Travel team! Auasia Travel made Laos trip great. Hannah from the office organized everything and responded quickly. Visiting Laos required simple transfers! Fun activities and time to explore. Clean, pleasant hotels were all over. I was the lone participant in this group excursion, which turned private. That was enjoyable, although I missed being in a regular group because I had to join various groups for certain events. Hannah informed me of my daily schedule and pick-up hours. This trip went well and as anticipated. Highly recommended this tour and Auasia Travel agency. Hanna also deserves 5 stars for getting it done.Less
