Reviews
The main highlight of the trip was the boat lunch over Nam Ngun reservoir and it did not disappoint. Along the way from Vientianne, we stopped by for a short while at the salt factory and local markets. The tour guide Song provided us with good information of the sights and took great care of us.
Attractions are good, it is worth to go. Very friendly team leader, her service is very hard and professional, I feel good.

South Russia Lake is beautiful! The leader is very responsible and explains everything in detail with us.
The local tour operator did not adhere to the itinerary. Our group of 3 was taken to only 1 out of 4 destinations in our itinerary. We feel cheated! If zero star could be given, we would. This is the first time I used Klook and it was purely based on it being a Singaporean company. I have been waiting for a response from Klook.
Thank you for raising your concern to us. We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you've experienced with your booking. Your case has been forwarded to our local operators for further investigation on what happened. One of our specialists has followed up your concern and will be giving you updates through email. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you.
