This was a very full day...

Greg_D, Nov 2025

This was a very full day of activities, bookended by very comfortable travel in the fast express train. My guide, Noy, arranged the pickup from my hotel to allow ample time to arrive at the railway station prior to departure. Once in Vang Vieng, it was a packed schedule. My favourite part was the climb up to Tham Pou Kham cave. This climb is not for the faint hearted and requires a certain level of fitness/stamina, but it's an interesting cave once inside, including a shrine with a Reclining Buddha statue. But be warned: the floor of the cave is very slippery in some places. Noy's knowledge of Laos in general, and the day's attractions in particular, meant that I was always fully informed and never left wondering. Thanks Noy for a very enjoyable tour.

We had an excellent day with Patoo, he made our day unforgettable, he pick us up at the hotel on time at 630am and we headed to the train station in Vientiane, the ride was about 35 minutes without traffic, we we got to Vang Vieng we had a ride on the long tail boat ad we had a relaxing view of the river at its surrounding, then we headed to the Angel cave and we were surprised with its beauty, we took lots of pictures and had time to do the zip line quite an excellent experience l, we had a very tasty lunch and then headed for the blue lagoon and it was so refreshing, we ended the day climbing to the top of namxay view point and the view from the top was stunning.. the climb was challenging, thank God we are in good shape, at 4pm we took the train back to ventiane and we were at the train station by 5pm, thanks to our guide Patoo for being so nice and for making our day unforgettable.

Excellent day trip by train

Nicola_R, Jan 2025

The trip was great! Our guide Tony was excellent, friendly & informative. We packed a lot into the day which was what we wanted to do. My 1 complaint is that I thought the trip was very expensive. I understand that we had a guide to ourselves for the day, however things like entrance fees are cheap in Laos so the price we paid for 2 people (NZ$700) was rather a lot.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Nicola Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you had a great trip and that Tony provided excellent guidance. We strive to offer a comprehensive experience, which includes not only a personal guide but also the return express train ticket, enhancing the overall convenience of your journey. We understand that travel costs can feel high, especially with the affordable entrance fees in Laos. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continually work to improve our offerings. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
