We were able to customize the sites we wanted to see from their suggested Laos itinerary. We were very pleased with UME Travel! :-) Our guide David is the best fulltime tour guide we have seen with great personality and well educated. looking forward my next trip with UME !
A lot of people think they can do things by themselves when it comes to Laos but we found that with ume travel you get to see not only the best places but also a lot of the hidden areas that alone you may not have even realised was there, especially those fantastic stories behind this. My boyfriend is really into archology and culture. We have a fantastic time!
If you're looking to see the best and local Laos and find out more about the Lao people, this is for you. UME did the whole arrangements, and our guides Jack and Kevin for showing us a fantastic time!
