A little late picking me up, but arrived only about 2) minsate and dropped off in the old town. The coach was very luxurious with business style, seats ac and pretty much empty. Quick comfortable journey with good views.

I didn't have a problem with the service as in the train I booked, however, unfortunately it took 48hrs and a few emails from booking online to the operator confirming my booking (only a day before my scheduled departure), when the email stated confirmation time 19hours. I booked the train for 13:57 and it was booked for 13:32 for whatever reason.

I wa expecting a minibus but we were the only ones on the transfer so they sent us in a private car and we arrived safely, in comfort and early to the airport. All very efficient and smooth.

Good Service. The only problem: they changed my pick up Location without me knowing about it. To be fair I don't have a Lao phone number so they could not contact me. We just found out about the changed pick up location by calling them
