Hanoi to Sapa Destination Reviews

Shadya S

Pick up supposed to be at 6.00 am. Came to take us at 6.30 in a very old and dirty van to transfer us in an also old sleeper bus. We finally go at 7.30. The sleeper seat are small and not really confortable. No toilets inside and just 2 stops. The team don’t even give us informations about the trip. Not recommended.

No toilet on the bus. Some of the staff from the Hanoi end and driver were quite rude and seemed annoyed by the customers. Cabins not long enough for western customers.

Traveling in a sleeper car during the day is unacceptable. The trip was very uncomfortable and tiring. I do not recommend this company.
