Van picked us up at the hotel 10 minutes later than scheduled but nothing to bother at all. Overall a great experience for the transfer.

Very good impressions from the trip from Vang Vieng. The car left on time and arrived in Vientiane even half an hour earlier. Fast, comfortable and not too expensive.

We were picked up in a tuktuk and not van, which we thought we were going to drive the whole way. Luckily we were transferred to a mini-bus (still not looking like the van in the picture of the ticket at all). We departed 1.5 hours after planned departure and multiple people were very stressed about reaching their flight. It is worth noting that we were at the airport only 30 minutes later than planned so it was okay in the end, but it was just full of stress.

Firstly they said pickup was 1 o’clock however I didn’t get picked up until 2:15. They didn’t drop me off at the location it said. Instead I had to pay for a tuk tuk to take me there. Driver was very rude and not helpful even when I used google translate to make him understand better

The car was nice, it was on time, and would have been a goos trip, BUT - the aircon was so poor i was on the verge of fainting. Mind you i do have medical issues that cause intolerance to prolonged heat, and it didn't seem like a problem for others, but AC is why I chose the van instead of the Lao train, which was very poorly airconed too. I would not dare again for this reason.
