Transportasyon sa Hanoi

We booked pickup at 1100. We turned out to be ready at 1000. I WhatsApp the agent asking for a change in schedule. We got a reschedule instantly and save us an hour in waiting. Be prepared for a short walk in Old Quarter if the drop off is on Weekend. My driver had been deligent in finding the way to hotel following Google map but driving in Old Quarter is always a challenge on weekend.

Ito ay isang kamangha-manghang karanasan. Kahit na medyo maalog, talagang nakatulog ako nang mahimbing dahil may unan at kumot. Ang mga meryenda ay kamangha-mangha rin. Ang tren ng VP Sapa ay mayroon ding lounge kung saan maaari kang matulog habang naghihintay. Ang mga tauhan ay nakakatulong at mabait din at tinutulungan kami sa bawat hakbang bago kami umalis papuntang Hanoi.

sobrang komportable kaya nakatulog na lang buong gabi. sobrang linis at komportable, malinis ang banyo at hindi mabaho. mainit pa na pinick up mula sa hotel ko. dahil sa panahon, komportable pa rin kahit ilang stop para kumain.

We had a good experience trying out the Chapa Express from Hanoi to Sapa (Lao Cai station). Redemption of the Klook vouchers were pretty easy; upon arrival at Hanoi train station take the escalator up to the second floor and you'll see the Chapa Express VIP Room where you can check in. The VIP Room is pretty small and it was full so we just sat outside. The staff will call you when it's about time to board the train. The cabins were pretty comfortable and cozy and they provided some bananas, mineral water and some other Vietnamese snacks. The toilet was clean and there is also a separate sink outside. The whole journey took around 8 hours but we couldn't sleep much as it was quite noisy along the tracks even with earplugs. Upon arrival in Lao Cai we took a pre-booked van to Sapa town center which took another 40 minutes. Overall it was quite a good experience but I would rather take the overnight sleeper bus next time.

Napakaganda ng araw! Si Tom na Tour Guide ay napakagaling at matulungin! Magandang oras sa bawat lokasyon, kung gusto mo ng seafood para sa pananghalian, pumila kaagad.

We arrived 2 hours earlier than scheduled time. The station master was kind to offer a room for luggage storage while we move around the town exploring. The restaurant opposite the train station was convenient where we can hear the announcement made by train station on our schedule train for boarding. Boarding was easy and led by the train master. Staffs were helpful to lead you the cabin and we got settled in real quick. There were Lays chips, mineral water bottles, wet tissues in our cabin. Cabins were clean and cold. There’s pillow and blanket. Luggages can be stowed under the beds. Cabin was comfortable and roomy for the 4 of us. We are a family with 2 kids. Charging ports are available in the cabin. Hot and cold water dispenser are available near toilet area. And the highlight was we pass by the Hanoi train street where the onlookers watch us pass by. Overall it was a great, enjoyable and exciting experience !

Si Hải Hoa ang aming drayber, at siya talaga ang pinakamahusay! Tiniyak niya na nakumpleto namin ang listahan ng mga lugar na gusto naming bisitahin. Napakaluwag niya—handang umikot muli sa bloke para lamang sunduin kami nang eksakto kung nasaan kami. Siya ay mapagpasensya, madaling kausap, at nag-alok ng mga kapaki-pakinabang na tip sa kung ano ang dapat gawin, anong mga tanawin ang dapat makita, at ang mga pinakamagandang lugar para kumuha ng mga litrato. Sa kabuuan, ito ay isang kamangha-manghang karanasan, at naramdaman namin na napakaligtas namin kasama siya bilang aming drayber! 🤍

Nasiyahan kami sa pribadong sasakyan na napakakombenyente kapag kailangan namin ng pahinga sa banyo, umaalis sa oras na gusto namin at may privacy. Ang limo van ay nasa maayos na kondisyon ngunit hindi gumagana ang function ng massage chair. Ang driver na si G. Dŭng ay napaka-helpful, propesyonal at ligtas niya kaming minaneho sa buong biyahe. Madaling makipag-usap sa pamamagitan ng WhatsApp at Google translate. Lubos na inirerekomenda para sa mga nais ang kaginhawahan at ginhawa ng paglalakbay papunta at pabalik mula sa Sapa.

Kumuha ng Sapaking limo, huwag nang mag-abala sa coach, mas mabilis ka nitong dadalhin doon nang may ginhawa at istilo. Napakahusay ng komunikasyon sa kabuuan, madali at maayos ang pagkuha, lubos kong inirerekomenda. Pagkatapos mag-book, makakatanggap ka ng imbitasyon na makipag-ugnayan sa pamamagitan ng WhatsApp, kung saan maaari kang magtanong, pagkatapos ay bibigyan ka ng mga detalye ng driver at ang kanilang rehistrasyon. Si G. Quan ang kinuha namin para sa parehong biyahe, sa kabila ng hindi namin parehong wika, nagkaintindihan kami.
