The car could be more comfortable. Getting in and out turned out to be very awkward and uncomfortable. The Guide Souksavanh was excellent. He is imbued in Lao culture, religion and history and is an asset to the visitors. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and learnt a lot from him. He is exceptional guide with practical help and concern for our wellbeing. We appreciated the care and safe driving of the friendly and helpful lady driver. We recommend them for families, elderly persons and even young people.

The tour guide Mr Souk was very knowledgable and nice to us. I really enjoyed the history lessons he provided us throughout the day. Only thing is I hope that next time they include the cost of the tickets during booking so we wouldn’t have to handle our cash in the open. Other than that, I really recommend this tour!
