1.00The caves were really disappointing. Our true guide left the tour only after 10 minutes so we had not gone for this tour.
Excellent Service!!

5.00This is a very safe and reliable way to travel around the area. We booked a van for 10 hours and our driver was fantastic!!! They will go where you want and pick you up where you want. Always on time and even early. My driver did not speak English so I communicated through WhatsApp with the dispatch. He communicated to driver. It worked very well. My husband played golf and after dropping him off, the driver took me to town and then we went back and picked him up. We went all over for the day seeing many sight and just having a nice coffee by the Mekong. We took a river cruise and our driver was right there when we returned. Very reliable and safe! He even gave us water and cleaning wipes.
Save time and money- avoid this and book a taxi

1.00As before every trip and booking, I do a lot of research and this had many many 5 star reviews. " Da is excellent, " " Da is so knowledgeable and helpful," Da is like a tour guide," well I'm guessing this company has now bitten off more than they can chew. We were put with a completely non -English speaking driver, who incidentally must have been the slowest in Laos. We travelled the suggested 45 minutes in silence and then another 30 minutes as like I said our driver was incredibly slow. This was both ways, an hour and 15 minutes each way! Not a word of what I had hoped for about the history of Laos or pointing anything out en route. We had a wonderful time there and the falls are beautiful, but that isn't what you're paying for with this trip( entrance fees are separate). When we had finished, we couldn't ask to stop anywhere we would have liked, such ad the temple we passed or the Mekong river as he didn't understand anything. There was no point stopping at suggested places as we couldn't ask any questions or get any information. We had our slow crawl back and were just left feeling annoyed at how we'd been ripped off. So do yourself a favour, just book a taxi for £5 instead of wasting £60 on exactly the same service from here.
Worth it!

5.00We had a lovely time on our 5 hour tour. Dat was great giving lots of information on the area and history. He didn’t make us feel rushed even with our shorter timespan.
Great driver !

5.00I can only agree with what has been written before: great driver, who could also be a guide as he is very knowledgeable. Convenient choice !
Worth a confirmed ride to the waterfalls.

5.00Having a confirmed ride to the waterfalls was a good idea. There were cars at the site but knowing that we had a confirmed ride for almost the same price helped make our trip relaxing. It was a long way so taking a tuk tuk would not have been a good idea as some online suggested. Our guide also know of a couple places to stop along the way that made our trip more fun than a Grab ride. The buffalo ice cream stop was super fun on the way back.
Ask for Mr Da

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the kuang si falls and other stops along the way. Mr Da is an excellent guide who has deep knowledge of the culture, folklore and history of the land. I learned so much about the Lao people and have some memorable stories to takeaway along with stunning photos of the waterfalls.
Delightful Discoveries with Da!

5.00Exceeded expectations! Loved having the flexibility to spend as much time as we wanted in the waterfall pools, zip lining, climbing up to the treehouse, stopping for lunch, then to the buffalo dairy before coming home when we were ready. Our driver and guide, Da, was warm, informative and very accommodating. And the car was incredibly comfortable. Well worth it to see so many aspects of Laos. Highly recommended!
Don't bother going!

3.00Not worth the time, money or effort Boring falls below, 600 steps up to NO view. Don't bring a bathing suit or towel....no one in the water, no place to do it. Best part was watching my driver help the locals fix the bridge so we could cross it! Very can-do guide...
guide Mr. Da is really...
