This tour was a lot of fun & very informative. Our tour guides were all very knowledgeable & friendly. All phases of the tour — the explanation about all the ways bamboo is used, weaving the bamboo coasters, preparation of rice, cooking (& eating), & musical performances — were very well done. Highly recommended.

It was a great experience. I really enjoyed the bamboo weaving. It was actually hard! I would definitely do it again

A great experience, learning so much about bamboo.
Fun activities. Weaving a coaster and then a cooking class. The variety of food was so good. Yum

The people running the tour were very knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoyed the cooking class and would’ve liked to have done a little bit more of that.

We thoroughly enjoyed the various activities included in the Bamboo Experience. We learned a lot and laughed a lot, (especially at ourselves) in this very participatory outing. It also gave us a chance to get away from the crowds and enjoy the peaceful nearby countryside.

The location is lovely, leafy and peaceful overlooking a large rice field and mountains
The wooden buildings attractive and traditional
The various demonstrations packed with fascinating information, ending with a charming Hmong musical item!
Bamboo workshop was hilarious - and cooking workshop enlightening team work. The lunch quite superb !
Also we loved the morning market tour ably guided by our affable host.
This is a professional family hospitality operation thoroughly enjoyed by six international Visitors!

This experience was fantastic! Somsay takes you to his house where he shares a lot of information about life in Laos and bamboo. A master weaver from the village joined us to show us (with little english, massive smiles and endless paitience) how to weave a coaster - after this experience you will have an incredible appreciation for all the bamboo weaved items you see.
The ad description doesnt do the cooking part of the day justice - we had an incredible meal with each course including bamboo of some sort, but each delicious in their own right (the fried bamboo shoots stuffed with pork were a winner in our group). The day rounded out with a local musician playing a local instrument.
All in all, an incredible experience that taught us a lot about Laos in a really authentic way!
