    Jack

    Asked on June 8th, 2026

    do you have this tour for older travellers? Or just 18-39? I'm 53.

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2026

      If you're looking for a tour similar to Laos: Sunrises & Street Food, I'd recommend Thailand and Laos Adventure. It combines the cultural highlights, food experiences, and relaxed atmosphere of Laos with some of Thailand's most iconic destinations, while offering the comfort and pace of a Classic tour.

  • T

    Theresa

    Asked on April 27th, 2026

    I'd like to book this tour for April 2027. We're a couple from Australia in our 50's.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2026

      This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

    Rob

    Asked on April 24th, 2026

    I'm a solo traveller. My age is 57, may I join this group even if I'm out of the age range? (18-39)?

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2026

      This particular trip is part of G Adventures' "18-to-Thirtysomethings" travel style, which has a strict age range of 18–39. Unfortunately, this means it wouldn't be possible to join this specific departure. That said, we do have some excellent alternative options that offer a very similar experience in Laos, but without any age restrictions. These tours still include highlights such as Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfalls, and Mekong River experiences, with a slightly more relaxed pace and a mixed group of like-minded travellers.

    • R

      Rob

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      My budget is lower, max 600 euro and departure date should be earlier than 29. Do you have other options?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2026

      If you are considering Laos, the alternative date would be Thailand & Laos Adventure Departure - Sat, 15 Aug - Fri, 28 Aug Cost: EUR€1519. That being said, unfortunately this is outside your budget however there are other alternatives that do not include Laos like Bangkok to Chiang Mai Express Departure: Sat, 15 Aug - Fri, 21 Aug Cost: EUR€743 or Cambodia Experience Departure: Fri, 21 Aug - Sat, 29 Aug Cost: EUR€943.
