Meet the team behind our local travel agency in Laos
Our philosophy of responsible travel
Our quality-driven approach to developing fair, eco-responsible and innovative tourism in Laos, combined with the expertise of our Franco-Laotian local team, guarantees you an authentic journey, perfectly organized by specialists and above all, by passionate lovers of this magical country.
Laos remains a little-known destination that fascinates travelers with its mystery, serenity and authenticity, its ethnic communities and breathtaking landscapes. As designers of tailor-made journeys, our role is to share with you our deep field experience, built over 25 years of exploration, travel planning and expeditions to the most remote and untouched regions of Laos, far from mass tourism.
Each member of our team is an expert in a very specific type of travel, ranging from cultural discovery to ethnic trekking. We personally explore and walk every trail and path we design, ensuring complete control over your itinerary.
Several times a year, members of our team go on field research trips to discover new routes and continuously update the itineraries we offer.
