What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Sapa Discovery Travel?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Sapa Discovery Travel Company Reviews

The buses are new and comfortable with good air con and charging points etc, but the bus was over an hour late collecting us from Hué, which it seems is normal in Vietnam. The really irritating thing, and the reason I’m not giving five stars, is that we had to change bus TWICE, which was not scheduled. In fact, the contact person on WhatsApp assured this would not be the case. The first time we changed bus, it was to a similarly good sleeper bus, but a big hassle to be woken up and told that and with bags etc while half asleep. The second time, was to a private car/taxi that took the two of us the final 25km to a phong Nha. We got there in the end, but it’s like Russian Roulette whether they have planned bus changes, which is really disruptive and a big inconvenience

One of the best sleeper buses I've been on. The driver was very friendly. Had multiple stops for toilet and snacks. Blankets and sleeping areas were far cleaner compared to other bus providers. Would highly recommend.

Was fine, as expected. The usual bright lights during the night but relatively comfy. I’m 5ft8 and can never fully stretch out anyway. At one stop the driver wouldn’t let us back on the bus for 30mins..not sure why but was annoying for those who had got off just for a quick toilet break.

Overall the trip was OK, the first leg way a limousine to tam coc which only had me and 1 more passenger After that, I went on the 7:30 pm sleeper from tam coc. Turns out there are later sleepers but I didn't have the option to book them on 12go and also when I asked there if I could switch I was told that I couldnt The sleeper had a very long stop (about 2 hours) Ina gas station about an hour from tam coc, and the people boarded and slept on the aisle so getting in and out was pretty hard and had to walk over them

Left and arrived 20 min late. We had a vip20 sleeper but the driver tried to force us to get in a cabin 2 and 2 together. We said no and ended up having our own cabin - but be aware of this, and just insist to get seperate

First things first: we started where we should have, arrived where we should have, both on time, and travelled with the VIP bus that we paid for. Only in between Sapa and Ninh Binh at 2 am we were dropped in the middle of Hanoi for a bus change that arrived 2 hours later. This was not scheduled (or at least not advertised) and the help desk through WhatsApp was basically useless. We just hoped that the second bus would arrive but there were no sign there nor any signal, so it was basically hope for 2 hours.

We got the bus from ha giang 9 pm to cat ba (estimated arrival time on the website was 7am) trough Hanoi and got dropped at the office in the middle of the night not knowing when our transfer would be (we couldnt reach anyone). From the first sleeping bus to the next bus to Cat Ba , we waited 4,5 hours. We arrived in Cat Ba around 12pm. The busses were of great quality, but the communication lacked.

We booked the VIP cabin. Bus arrived 1,5 hours later. Bus was overbooked as it arrived it was already full. So 6 person must sit in the middle way. We drove around 30 minutes, then the bus driver wanted that we exit at a gasoline station in the nowhere 20 minutes later a other bus came, but less die class we booked and payed for. No WiFi, dirty seats and a bit less space.

It's a long wait but this is lessened when the young people at reception are very cheerful. Additionally, I particularly liked that the room was large with plenty of outlets for charging smartphones. A real congratulations.

This trip was so bad and not what we paid for at all. We arrived an hour before the trip started at the Hanoi office, because we wanted everything to go smoothly. An hour later a random man came and picked us up. He drove us to some big road, and just dropped of us on the side of the road and told us to wait for the bus. But the bus didn’t come, so we talked to some of the locals that were standing there, and they told us that we were at the wrong spot. We called hotline and they just said that the staff made a mistake, but they would fix it. They send a new man to pick us up, and he drove us to another place. We were again dropped of on the side of the road, but this time there was a booking office there. So we talked to the lady in the office, who said that our bus to Da Nang had left, even though the man from hotline told us that the bus would be there when we arrived. We called him again, and then he said that we should get on this random bus to Ninh Binh. We didn’t feel that safe at this point, because we would be dropped of in Ninh Binh at 9 in the evening. But it was only option. We asked the man from hotline if we could just stay on the bus the whole trip to Da nang, because the bus was also going to Da Nang. But the man from hotline told us that we should change buses in Ninh Binh, because we paid for a VIP bus, and the bus we were currently on wasn’t a VIP bus. When we arrived in Ninh Binh

The first part of the journey between Sapa and Tam Coc was perfect, with the driver and SDT teams taking great care of us at the start, during the journey and on arrival. Then everything turned extremely disappointing after the bus change. The driver of the HK Open Tour bus didn't have the passenger list. The luggage compartments were full of goods and we had to travel with our bags. The driver drove very aggressively, honking constantly. People kept getting on and off, cramming 2 onto the VIP 20 sleeper seats, or in the corridor. The bus was due to take me to Hué at 7.30 am. At 6.40am, we were already in Da Nang, but the bus didn't stop as planned at SDT Hué Office. In Da Nang, the driver made everyone get off in front of a stall where people were waiting for goods. When I asked the driver why he hadn't stopped in Hué, he replied that buses on the expressway don't stop in Hué (???). However, he stopped a good dozen times to load or drop off people in the middle of the countryside. He told me that to get to Hué, I'd have to go to the bus station and retrace my steps. As I insisted that I had paid to go to Hué and that he hadn't respected the contract, he went and got a scooter to take my wife and me to the bus station and paid for the tickets for the regular Da Nang - Hué shuttle. I arrived 2 hours behind schedule. SDT is a young company, of course, but it's not normal for them to contract in this way with bus companies that have no regard for passengers, whereas we paid full price to travel in VIP 20 and not have this type of problem. Unfortunately, I'll be joining the long list of people on TripAdvisor, Google and other travel sites who advise against using their services.

The driver did not believe that I had paid online and was demanding I pay him Ð120000. He could not understand English so didn’t believe the receipt I had which mentioned ‘PAID’. He finally got onto his boss and let me go. He also thought I was going to Hanoi and was gesturing I get onto the transfer bus. I was not going to Hanoi. Otherwise ride was fine and smooth going.

Instead of going to the station at the address in Hue clearly stated several times in the booking (7 Doi Cung) we stopped in the middle of nowhere and were told this was the final stop. It was over 3km away from the destination address stated in the ticket. Several people complained but they just told us “we don’t care, if you don’t like it you can call the hotline”. Our demands to provide transportation to the city were ignored. I ended up having to pay for a Grab out of my own pocket and had to wait over an hour because it was so early in the morning that there were almost no drivers. Additionally, the bus was very cramped and the beds too narrow for an average size European man (5’11) and that is already with the more expensive “local cabin” option. I have to say that I rarely leave bad reviews and I am used to a lot when traveling, but leaving passengers stranded somewhere other than they had booked is not only horrible customer service but in a foreign country for solo travelers (especially female) can potentially even be dangerous. Very reckless.

Great Transport! VIP Shuttle from Mai Chau to Tam Coc and Sleeper 20 to Hue. Transfer in Tam Coc was a little chaotic (nearly forgot to transfer me to the sleeper), but apart of that a well organized trip in comfortable vehicles. Bring a jacket and socks for aircon in the sleeper may be quite cold. Arrived in time.

We had in total 1 1/2 hours delay. At first we need to wait for an hour at the office to wait for the taxi. Then the taxi got us a bit outside of Hanoi where we need to wait another half an hour to wait for the limousine. All in all of the Limousine was fine, but the waiting was annoying. Nevertheless, the driver drop us off directly at the house though so we didn’t need to get a Grab

We booked VIP 20 from Tam Coc to Da Nang - the first bus we were on was awesome - very new, clean, comfortable. Unfortunately at 7:30 in the morning everyone was abruptly shoved off the bus in Hue and put onto an extremely crammed + uncomfortable van for the rest of the journey. No explanation given, not listed on the itinerary or I would’ve booked an alternative so as to actually sleep the night.

Was alright. Driver started from pick up 30min earlier though -which isn't bad, but something you should know. Drive took 1h longer. Bus stank. Driver didn't speak one word English. Gave us weird instructions where to sit, everyone was confused. Delivered some packages before he got to destination.

The bus was comfortable and large enough to lay down and get some sleep. There was a toilet on board so we didn’t need any stops during the 8 hour journey. The driver didn’t make many stops for parcels/pick ups like we’ve experienced before in Vietnam. However the bus was 2.5 hours late with no explanation from the man based at the pick up office meaning we got to Ninh binh 2 hours late

Bus was good and trip to da dang was shorter than expected, BUT none said that once we arrived to da nang we’ve to wait for one hour to go to Hoian in a van. So basically you’re paying for a limousine to da nang and from there they distribute people to different places.

Had to wait for an hour at a roadside office in Danang, was given no information and not treated particularly well by the staff. When the car eventually picked us up an hour later to take us to Hoi An I expressed that I wasn’t happy to have been made to wait and not told why and they didn’t give me an explanation. This was early in the morning, and I would have loved some support.

There wasn’t space for the legs between the seats, but the trip was good

Very good trip from Hoi An to Ninh Binh in a clean, well-equipped bus. Clean toilet and blanket present. Real beds. Just a little strange at the beginning because you are given a meeting point in Hoi An and a cab ends up picking you up to take you to Da Nang and this of course without explanation...

The pick-up station in Hue is a kind of garage, which is not easy to find. On site, we were confirmed that we were in the right place and were directed to the café next door to wait. You are driven to the VIP bus on site in a minivan. We looked out of the window and saw that the minivan had left without us. The garage was closed and the driver had forgotten us. We contacted the agency, which sent us another driver and drove us to the VIP bus afterwards. Despite the chaos, the service and helpfulness was good and we reached our destination on time. Even though the staff hardly spoke any English, they were friendly and knew how to help us thanks to Google Translater. Breaks were regular and announced. The VIP bus was well equipped, there was a thicker blanket. However, the bus was a little cold.

The cabins were okay, but there were no toilet on the bus (when we booked, it says there is one). And there was no snack as we booked.

The night bus itself was very comfortable, but the bus was very late, departing 2h later than planned (they warned us during the departure day) and arriving at 11:00 instead of 8:00 at Hoi An ! We weren't told, but at Hue we had to change bus and wait for 2h for the next one, that did not have enough sits for all the travellers (beware of the mototaxi men that are on the bus and that will try to extort you enormous amounts of money in exchange for taking you in the town center for breakfast)

I wouldn't recommend this! They put those of us on Tam Coc last so we had the shared space with 3 people at the back. I was lucky it was two women I was with as if it was two guys I would have felt unsafe as you're pretty much on top of eachother. Was in the middle space so no space for my stuff and the bed was too short, overall barely slept. Then they took us off the bus in De Nang where we waited almost two hours for a car to come to bring us to Hoi An. Wish I'd just paid for a budget sleeper and had my own space rather than paid extra for a VIP to share a space with strangers.

The pickup was a little bit late (close to half an hour) but the driver managed to get to the destination more or less on time (we had more than enough time to take our connection flight). It was a limousine for 9 people but we were the only two passangers so it was very comfy for use.

Didn’t stop once during the 7 hour drive for a bathroom break. Also, the bus used said Queen Cafe Bus even though the provider is Sapa Discovery. So I almost missed it

Taxi to the bus station dropped us at the wrong location and we missed the bus after waiting for an hour. Sapa discovery had to get the bus to wait for us as we chased it in another taxi, and then the bus didn’t drop us off at long restaurant in tam coc either just left us on the side of the road

The journey itself wasn't too bad, but I blame the bus company! I had booked and paid for a top-category bus and they put us on a bus whose tickets were €10 cheaper! The contact lady also gave me the wrong address for the pick-up point. What's more, we arrived 1h30 ahead of schedule ... so we arrived in the middle of the night and had to wait a long time before being able to access our Homestay. I lodged a complaint directly with 12 Go, but still no news.
