The itinerary was covered completely and as detailed on the tour description. Lunch was pre-organised and was an excellent choice by the guide we visited Laos Kitchen. It was very much about seeing the sights, and not rushing through to finish at a certain time due to our leisurely cycling pace. Recommend highly.</p>
