On our first trip to Laos we weren’t sure what to expect. The Buddha Park is a gorgeous combination of Buddhist and Hindu sculpture and fabulous flowers. Chansay was not only an incredibly patient guide with all of our questions but he also has a fine sense of humor making for a relaxed and fun day. We did everything listed on the itinerary and enjoyed a delicious lunch. If he were available for more of our stay we would happily book him. I highly recommend this tour as a terrific way to learn about Vientiane.luckvo
