The driver picked me up from hotel and it was short drive to Vang Vieng. I wasn’t able to book a train ticket but this was the next best option. Safe and efficient!

There was a driver available right away. The driver was friendly and the vehicle was clean, so all eight of us in the group were able to travel comfortably from the airport to the hotel. Thank you.

Excellent tour with excellent guide Mr. Taiy. We managed to cover all the itinarery even though the climbing of the hill was tough due to the rain the day before that makes the climbing hard and slippery(muddy). Mr. Taiy waited, guide and help us through the tour. All is good! Highly recommended!

Souk was a truly wonderful tour guide. he was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions. I learned a lot and had a wonderful time. I feel that the tour is great value for money as we were able to see a lot of places and have a great experience. there was more than enough time for each place so it wasn’t rushed at all. I highly recommend this tour

Since we couldn’t find a tour for the city, we decided to go with this one instead—and we’re so glad we did! We were especially happy to have Jik with us, whom we first met during our Vang Vieng tour. She went above and beyond what’s expected of a driver.
Jik followed the itinerary perfectly—and even added a few extra stops. Thanks to her, we were able to visit all the places we wanted to explore. She made our city tour not only smooth but also fun and memorable.
A big thank you to Jik for her warmth, attentiveness, and excellent service. We truly had a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better driver. We highly recommend this tour and especially Jik’s service!

This is a great tour for Vientiane! Our tour guide, Thip, was very amazing. she speaks Wnglish very well, assisted us in talking to locals and asking for discount on souvenirs 😝. The tour itself is wonderful since it’s like an into to Laos, which is first time for us. recommend getting this private tour as jt is relaxed too!

first i was upset that there’s not enough people to take the tour but they offer a driver only trip and i accepted. Jik is so great and she took great pictures of me. I really really enjoyed this trip. If you want someone telling you stories/history about the place go book the private tour. If you’re like me who wants to just soak in the view of the place and take pictures from time to time go with the driver option. I could just google stuff later anyway.
