Noi Bai Airport to Lao Cai Destination Reviews

MH
We were picked up at the airport by a small bus (despite a small delay on our part caused by long queues at the airport), which drove us to the coach in 5 minutes. It was extremely comfortable, clean and new. There was enough water at every seat and you could also get new water for free on the bus, as well as use the clean toilet. There was also WiFi, which worked perfectly. I can only recommend the trip on the SaoViet bus, even if as a 1.85m European you can't lie down very well.
