The highlight was the Alms for the monks at daybreak where Bun had organised our position, temple scarf and rice to place in the Monks Bowls He was very attentive to our needs and we were grateful for the water and cool towels he had for us after our climb up Phussy Mountain for a spectacular view.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 147 reviews · 5 hours · from $24Best value

Nam Song kayaking and cave tubing in Vang Vieng, explore Sleeping and Angel caves, enjoy BBQ lunch on banana leaves, with pickup and gear.

“Overall the tour was good. The small rapids are exciting. Transport in an open Tuktuk was very cold in the morning, so bring something extra to wear. My tour was supposed to be 7 hours but we were rushed all day and I was back an hour early. I would have like to have more breaks between all the activities. If the Ziplining is not included in your package you can buy it for about 15$ there. Otherwise you will have to wait for all Zipliners around 40min. But it was fun. The tubing in the cave is a 10min activity. All in all a nice day and well organised,…”

“Very good guide Mr Viengxay and driver. I would have been happy to go on a group tour but I was in Vientiane on my own, during low season, so had the tour to myself. Which made it a bit more expensive...but I also had some great one on one conversations with the guide about life in Laos, as well as discussing the attractions we visited. The COPE Centre, Buddha Park and the Victory Gate were highlights for me.”
