Everything went smoothly. The transfer from train station was in a tuk tuk. A little cramped, uncomfortable and hot. Apart from that all was great

There is a highway from Vientiane to Vang Vieng, but the crammed Van took a local road full of potholes to get a few passengers to their destination, sometimes having to turn back, and to deliver packages. We left more than half an hour late, then the driver stopped again on the way to have sandwiches made.... The journey was therefore long and uncomfortable. However, we arrived safely ????

Comfortable and good ride. Hotel to hotel - worries free travel. There was more people, so they got us a proper bus. We arrived an hour late, as expected in Laos.

We ordered and payed for pick up in mini van but we’re picked up in big tourist bus. Had to wait 50 min for the taxi pick up because they were late.

The van was small and full. It had not enoug space for our luggage. One positive surprise is that instead of the 4 hours drive expected, it only 1 hour 15 min. approx.

Our van left a bit late and it was very crowded. We made it to our destination about 30 minutes later than expected but otherwise the trip was fine. Affordable price.

The bus started 1 hour late. There was not enough information about the travel. The bus did not take the high way instead ir took a very bumpy road with many potholes. The bus stopped several times in a small village before Vang Vieng. Since we paid double the price that was asked for at the bus station it would have been nice to have more information before booking this bus.
