The tour was great and our guide, ‘Mr Ping Pong’, provided plenty of insight on the way life is in Laos and not just the sights. He also spoke really good English and he was clear to understand. There is incredible scenery to witness as well, whilst we went on a day when the waterfall was a bit murky, it was still spectacular. My girlfriend accidentally left her hat on the minibus and our guide ensured that is was dropped back off at our accommodation.

Mr Pong was a great guide, really warm, patient, and shares a lot about local history and culture. We did a lot within one day and it never felt rushed, pacing was really good. Only thing that disappointed me was that I paid extra for the version of Waterfalls in the morning and cruise during sunset, but ended up it was the same tour with cruise first then waterfalls and thus no sunset - it's still nice, but it's falsely charging me of the extra I topped up.

Great service that packs a lot into the day. You go to the Hmong Village, Kuang Si Waterfalls, Manifa Elephant Camp, Pak Ou Caves via boat, and Whiskey Distillery via boat. Pak Ou Caves were admittedly underwhelming, and the distillery could’ve been cut out, but it was still an outstanding day. A must do tour for Luang Prabang!
