The hotel was very conveniently located walking distance from The Old Market. Stops in Phnom Penh and Vientiane were short and although interesting are not worth return trips. Again the hotels were conveniently located, clean and comfortable.
The bulk of our trip was spent in Luang Prabang and near Champassak/Pakse. Luang Prabang is a wonderful city on the Mekong. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. In our travels in south Laos, Bolaven plateau, Champassak, Done Khong and Done Daeng, we stayed at different hotels each night. They were unique and comfortable but we did have issues with the Sinouk Coffee resort which I will detail in a separate review. Our guide was exceptional. Champou was knowledgeable, helpful and flexible and did all he could to make our trip more enjoyable and enlightening. We visited 4 different villages and a few local markets where we could get a real feel for the people. The landscape is gorgeous with numerous waterfalls at which he made sure we got to the best views of each.
All the hikes throughout the trip were easy to moderate, so comfortable walking or running shoes are adequate. The guides always provided water at the start of each hike, but if traveling on your own, bring water. Being January there was not much insect activity but you need repellent if you walk in the early mornings or near dusk, especially when near the rivers and streams.

One thing not mentioned before our tip was that the cost of the visa in Cambodia is $30 US for one entry. Since we were flying in and out of Siem Reap (from Hong Kong), this was a total $120 cost which travelers should note.
Everything was exactly as described. Local operators all were really good.
In Luang Prabang, no times were given to us for when we would be picked up at the hotel. It would have been much better if these were on the itinerary. Sorting this out was a little messy.
The boat trip was fantastic and we felt we had the best boat on the water.
The only change I would make to our itinerary is the bike trip in Vang Vieng, there are no nice bike trails there and the ride was really hard on rocky roads, this was not enjoyable at all!
The accommodation issue in Vang Vieng with the water was unpleasant but the place was nice to stay at.

It would have been good to know what name our booking was under as when we arrived at some places we said our name and they had no idea who were were. Less
