It was very foggy on the day we participated in the activity. The hiking route in the mountain forest was muddy and slippery. Several tourists in the same group slipped and fell... Those who did not slip could not escape the fate of having their pants and shoes stained with mud... The tourguide will lead you to a total of 3 villages along the way. There are several women from the village accompanying you all the way. They will help you hold your hand to prevent slipping, which makes you feel very reassured. They will leave after a rest point. , where they will show you their handicrafts and sell them to you. I was worried about how to clean my muddy shoes. When I returned to the Lao Cai train station, there was a shoe cleaner in front of the coffee shop opposite. I paid 100 and it took about 20 minutes for my shoes to be as clear and clean as new, and they would not get wet. It's so amazing!
The shuttle service from Lao Cai to Sapa was great! The driver is efficient in picking us up and the car condition was very good! car condition: excellent
The driver contacted me via WhatsApp the day before and I was able to meet him right in front of the station on the same day. I think there were a lot of carriers that day, so I had to fold down the back seat because of the luggage, and my group and I sat next to the driver. Sapa was a winding road up and down the foggy mountain road, so it was quite scary to sit in the front seat, but it was a fun experience.
it felt like i’m transported to hogwarts! being a high schooler and taking a gamble on whose gonna be my bunkmate for the night! I travelled solo and was lucky to met 3 china girls and we were able to communicate with each other. Train is a cool experience! toilet was very clean. but beware there is really no space. its literally u lie down and sleep if u are station at the upper deck. if you have nice companions like me. at least u get to chill and chat with them at the lower beds before turning in for the night! 100% would recommend this transport!!
A cheap and convenient transportation between Sapa and Lao Cai. The operator provided instructions clearly and the driver will message you the estimated time he will pick you up on the day of the departure. The roads going to and from Sapa are quite tricky but the driver was really professional and we arrived at Lao Cai station earlier than scheduled. This is highly recommended for solo travelers going to and from Sapa.
Need to go to Lao Cai to board the sleeper train going back Hanoi? This is the one for you. Safe and affordable.
Convenience transfer to hotel. Driver are calm when driving and have staff to wait you at station waiting area.
The service was comfortable and the driver was really friendly. will definitely recommend when you want a transfer from Lao Cai to Sa Pa
The pick up from the hotel in Sapa was right on time. The driver helped load the luggage into the car. Arrived to Lao Cai station earlier 1 hour before the train departure, so had a time to have a dinner before the long journey.
Driver are very punctual and drives very carefully..even help us with our bags.. We book for 2 separate van but admin was very helpful to offer us 1 big 29seater van to accomodate our group n bags. The van are very spacious and confortable. The admin also very helpful, they will message you early on all the detail arragements..recommended!
