A fabulous tour - We were collected at our hotel and taken to pick up the bikes which were sturdy and in good working order. Our guide Mr Viengsavanh was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Laos and made the tour really interesting. We learned far more than if we had gone round alone. We visited temples and learned some interesting facts about all the different Buddhas. We cycled to the sacred stupa which was stunning and visited a textile museum and learned about how they dye and weave the silk which was fascinating. We finished with a visit to Patuxai which is the Laos equivalent of the Arc de triomphe. You can climb to the top (172 steps) for stunning views of the city. All in all this was an excellent tour, very informative and an experience to cycle through the traffic. Our guide gave excellent communication along the route so we knew how to negotiate the traffic and stay safe. Would highly recommend.

Like a grad school history course on a bicycle! - Extremely knowledgeable guide made this bicycling tour an amazing experience. Political and religious history of Laos while cycling through the Vientiane area to
Temples, museums and monuments is like a grad school level course while getting to see the sights. Mr Wichang was educational, entertaining and good fun. Highly recommended.

Great Way to See Vientiane! - This was an excellent tour! I was lucky because it was the low season, so I was the only one on the tour. My guide, Vient, was awesome. He had so much interesting information about all of the sites that we saw. The bike was really nice as well. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Vientiane.

Mr Sak was punctual, and had a plan... - <p>Mr Sak was punctual, and had a plan of the day ahead which he explained to us in excellent English. Mr Sak was highly knowledgeable about the history of Laos, both recent and ancient!<br/>
The itinerary was covered completely and as detailed on the tour description. Lunch was pre-organised and was an excellent choice by the guide we visited Laos Kitchen. It was very much about seeing the sights, and not rushing through to finish at a certain time due to our leisurely cycling pace. Recommend highly.</p>
