Fantastic 5.0
It was a very good experience. The pickup was at 8 am from Ibis Vientiane. The car was comfortable and the tour guide was excellent. We first visited Nam Xay Viewpoint. The climb was steep and difficult but absolutely amazing view from the top. Next visited Blue Lagoon, Jang Cave and Hot Air Balloon Viewpoint. It was truly amazing experience.

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

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.

My driver -Sabaidee, was amazing and helpful. I liked the Buddha park although it was very crowded. Having a personal driver take me to Vientiane highlights on my very first day in the country was relaxing.

Good location. 15 mins from airport. Room is as per shown pics. air-con working well, hot water bath is good. nice clean room. Lights are all working. Working safe and fridge. both side of bed have Ian charging plugs for usb and type C on wall. Safe and easy to explore the nearby places of interest. At fountain 3 o’clock is the hotel position. 12 o’clock of fountain is a nice local noodle stall open early and close late. Convenient stall at 9 o’clock. further 10 step more is Hard Rock Cafe. across the road is a small road side pizza stall (see pic) At 6 o’clock across the road of fountain is a nice burger western breakfast cafe (see pic). A bit more down that same road end is a money changer shop. Right turn from there is the river then toward night Bazzar market. 10 o’clock fountain position is the night food market 10 mins walk away(must go n see).
