Transporte em Sapa

This time, things didn't go very smoothly. We booked a bus for 10:30 PM, but the airport shuttle time was not confirmed with us in advance. We had assumed that being picked up at the agreed location at 10:30 PM would be sufficient. At 9:40 PM, we received a call asking us to wait at the agreed location in 15-20 minutes. We had just ordered our meal, so we rushed to finish our dinner. Upon arriving at the designated spot, there was no name card for me, and no one was waiting. After contacting them, and worried we might miss the bus, we were told they would arrive in another 15 minutes. After arriving at the shuttle point and completing registration, we were informed our bus was at 10:50 PM. So, why did we rush to the shuttle point earlier? We suggest that before boarding, you could inform us when the bus might briefly stop (even though everyone was sleeping and didn't get off). Also, it would be helpful to give us an approximate arrival time in advance. We only realized we had arrived after the bus stopped and the staff pulled back our curtains (which was more startling than helpful).

Such a nice and comfortable cabin bus! They provided free wipes and bottled water, which was a nice little touch, especially for a long ride. The bus also left on time according to their scheduled departure, so we didn’t have to wait too long. The seats were spacious and comfortable enough that we were able to sleep peacefully throughout the journey Overall, it was a smooth and comfortable ride, and definitely a good option if you’re traveling between cities in Vietnam.

The train journey was definitely the highlight. It was comfortable, clean and a great way to travel while enjoying the beautiful views along the way. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the cabin had air conditioning. Bananas, a cup of Maggie noodles and snacks were provided for each passenger. The toilet was also very clean and well maintained. The staff at the lounge were also very friendly and helpful. The only downside was the shuttle service from Sapa to Lao Cai. I was picked up at around 9:00 AM, but the driver stopped to pick up another guest and I had to wait for more than 30 minutes. The driving was also quite reckless, especially when overtaking on winding roads and around bends. I felt quite scared during the journey and think the driving could definitely be safer. Other than the shuttle service, everything else was great. I would definitely recommend the train journey. It was comfortable, enjoyable and a memorable experience. I would happily take the train again.

Chúng tôi đã có một trải nghiệm tạm ổn với chiếc xe, chỉ hơi chật chội cho hành lý của chúng tôi nhưng chúng tôi đã về đến Hà Nội an toàn.

Rất tốt. Thức dậy với khung cảnh núi non gần Lào Cai trong khi vẫn còn đắp chăn là một điểm nhấn đáng nhớ.

Renting a scooter here is super easy and convenient. They deliver it directly to your hotel, and pick it up from the hotel when you're done. What's unique is there's no fuss; they just hand it over without checking anything or asking for ID/passport or even a driver's license. The owner is very easygoing and friendly. He even said there's no need to lock it because it's safe and won't go missing! 😄

Highly recommended! We were picked up from our hotel in Sapa and dropped off at our hotel in Ninh Binh. It was a comfortable and smooth trip without the hassle of carrying bags and luggage from Grab and other services. Thank you, G8 ❤️
