Hanoi Airport to Sapa Destination Reviews

LA
After 20-30 minutes random walks through random vans in the Noi Bai parking lot, we waited where we specified to be picked up. Was pretty shocked when someone who we taught it’s a “special” taxi driver turned out to be our driver confirming it by showing us our names and phone numbers screenshot. He was quite speedy and got us there in 5 hours to Sapa which included a 15 minutes bathroom break. He also left us at the hotel and not our station which we were grateful for. He was friendly and most importantly a fast driver

I e-mailed them using the address they gave in the confirmation. All my questions were answered truthfully. They even went out of their way to ask the driver to give my mother a little favor so that she is more comfortable during the entire trip. Definitely recommended.

definitely worth the price. the company will send you a confirmation message and confirm that you have arrived at the specific pick-up location via whatsapp. however, when stopping at the rest area, don’t go too far from where the bus stops. the driver couldn’t speak English and didn’t inform us that the bus was leaving. my friend almost missed the bus yesterday lol 😅

Overall a very good experience. Definitely recommend the semi-sleeper bus. The shuttle was ~ 30 minutes late to pick us up from the airport but we arrived in Sapa at a reasonable time. Bathroom was open but not very nice (no soap or tissues). My power outlet did not work. Wifi was slow but functioning.

All together it was flawless. No delays. Tuan as an operator was always responsive, gave all info needed automatically. Kien drove us their. He was polite and super professional. Really wished I spoke Vietnamese as he seems like a really nice guy! We got REALLY bad weather going up to Sa Pa. Road became flooded like a river. Trees falling, stones and chairs rolling down…pretty bad. He kept calm, knew when to wait and when to go, always using google translator to communicate with us and keep us relaxed. His past experience as truck driver really showed. Would love to work with Tuan and Kien again! 100% worth the money.
