Awful weather - heavy tropical rain all day - didn’t put the dampers on this trip. Whilst the zip line was truly fun (and very wet), it was Jung Cave and especially the water cave which won the day. The water cave was simply one of those little experiences that help make a holiday: there I was all alone, swimming into a beautiful underground water system and cave - the water was so clear and so pure, percululating down through the mountains above. Thanks to Mr Saly for his attention all day even though the rain was pretty biblical sometimes

Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable of the attractions. She went above and beyond! We quite enjoyed swimming in the water cave, kayaking, and tubing in a cave. The zip lining was exhilarating. It is advisable to keep your money with you rather than leave it in the car while you are enjoying the water. Our driver stole 60 USD; I guess it was too much to resist given her normal salary

Our guide Chansay was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and his English was amazing We only had 1 day in Vientiane and this tour gave us all the highlights of the city and a few more besides. We had a fantastic lunch included Overall a great experience that we would recommend

We had a great day with the guides from myproGuide. Super nice people who took us to some exceptional sites. If you are in Vientiane and don't plan on going to Vang Vieng on your own, I recommend this excursion.

Everything was amazing ! And our guide (Duwong? Spelling??) was fantastic!
