We worked with Mr Toon to arrange a driver from Luang Prabang to Nong Kiau and back to Luang Prabang. Mr Bounthaj was our driver and he was fantastic! He was on time and a very safe driver for our 3.5 hours each way. He brought a sparkling clean van and lots of water. More importantly, he is so kind and interesting to chat with. He taught us a lot about Lao culture so while we just needed a ride, we got much more! Also, Mr Toon was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this company and Mr Bounthaj.

We were really glad we booked our driving trip from Vientiane to Luang Prabang with Northern a Travel Laos. The scenery was beautiful and our driver Mr. Hatsadee was the best we could hope to meet. We were very happy with the stops we made and things he pointed out along the way and most importantly we felt safe and confident in his driving. Thanks for making it a great journey!

We just completed a 8 night Northern Laos tour starting in Luang Prabang and ending in Vientiane and it was outstanding. Excellent communications with all concerned, lovely accommodations, and our tour guide Pon and driver Joy were perfect companions for our trip. Highly recommend this company, our guide, and our driver.

We just finished an amazing 10-day tour in Northern Laos with Northern Travel Laos. Mr Toon did a great job planning the itinerary and Mr Phet was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable and enthusiastic about everything from history to hiking up waterfalls to meeting people in small villages. We also felt very safe with Mr Chan as our driver even on windy mountain roads. We usually travel on our own but are really glad we chose to have a guide this time - we saw much more than we could have without Mr Phet. We highly recommend this company.
