Great way to experience Lao culture - a must-do while in Savannakhet! - My partner and I had a great time on the full day cycling tour. We debated doing the overnight homestay option, but did not have time so Marvelaos was very flexible and allowed us to do the full day tour but still eat dinner at a homestay.
We loved it! We enjoyed a Lao lunch with a view of rice paddies, gave alms at the famous stupa, played with a monkey, and ate dinner / experienced a traditional Baci ceremony with the host family. All with a lovely English-speaking guide who was very polite and professional.
I'd highly recommend doing a Marvelaos excursion, even if you're just in Savannakhet for a day. It's a great way to experience Lao culture at an inexpensive price!
