Alles bestens geklappt. Super organisiert, toller Support an der Grenze und Transport bis zum Boot hat bestens geklappt mit Infos und Betreuung durch die Guides. Empfehlenswert!

We made it to Laos in one piece but the bus was an experience I will never forget haha. The bus was over packed with people sleeping in the isle. I woke up to the sound of a lady being violently sick. The bus was very jumpy and rocky.
The van left more than 2 hours late than planned. if I book at 10 am I hope it leaves around that time more or less, not that they have me sitting in the van two and a half hours without informing me of anything. it was assumed that we arrived at 2pm and we arrived at 4:30pm without being able to do what we had planned. the trip does not make stops or has air conditioning.

The transfer between the different bus is well organised. They are used to do it. Just one problem about the train. They didn't book our train ticket in advance, then it was fully book and we had to take the next train and we arrive 3 hours later. It's happening, but they didn't warn us earlier, they informed us at the border in Laos, so to late to find any other option. Exept this problem, everything was ok, and we recommend.
Scary drive to the border, a very fast one handed drive whilst the driver was on his phone.
Stopped to complete visa's for those that needed, and fill in some paperwork. Also given the chance to change some money (appalling exchange rate but we would need money for the over night stop).
No-one to meet us or explain next step over the border. All other tour groups left. Eventually herded into 2 of the slowest, oldest buses to the pier to meet the slow boat.
All good. The only thing I saw could be better is the organization of they boat fron Pakbeng to Luan Prabang, we were at the last minute trying to make room for more and more people and in they end another boat departured too, so that second boat was only a few people there, while we on the first boat were really packed.
I think makes more sense to distribute more evenly or plan ahead or estimate the amount of people they expect.

A well organised transfer - I would highly recommend.
This boat is a local means of transportation, not a tourist activity. During the trip, many backpackers treated it like a party, occupying all the seats without considering local passengers. I saw women with small children forced to stay in the engine area due to lack of seats. I gave up my seat more than once and eventually had to travel there myself. An experience that raises important questions about respect and responsibility when traveling.
