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

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.

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.

Because I booked the night before, I was worried because I didn't have the pickup information for the day. Thanks to the hotel staff's consideration, I was able to meet the driver. The dispatch time was unrelated to the activity reservation time, but rather the voucher pickup time. Because of this, I was concerned about waiting time at the location, but I was guided immediately after arrival. The staff was very polite and took pictures for me. They were very kind and I was able to try it with peace of mind. I'm glad I was able to have an experience that I can't have in Japan. I think the driver meticulously checked everything, from the local reception, to the number of balls, and even to confirming that my smartphone was returned to me safely. As a result, I am satisfied. Thank you very much.

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.
