Sapa to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

Unfortunately, not having a toilet on the bus for a night trip and not saying nothing about it, makes the trip quite uneasy.

Sleeper bus was good until suddenly screaming to get out of the bus and waait, to then be transferring us to a van in hanoi, which was never cleared informed on the ticket!! and after another van again to nihn bihn. Such a tiring experience, would not recommend! Bus +v11 was not great experience overall In all these transfers lost my favorite jumper which they didn’t respond at first, and after just said it was not there. And it could not have been anywhere else…

We booked a trip from SaPa to Tam Coc and had to switch vehicles 3 times which wasn‘t communicated beforehand. We had to wait in Hanoi at 4:30 am for 1 hour without anybody knowing when our travel will be continued. From Hanoi, we only had seats and not sleeper seats which we originally booked. Not a good experience for night travels.

We booked a ride at 10:30, but they cancelled the ride at 10:30. So we we’re forced to take the one at 11:30. Also bad communication….They promised a pick up from our hotel because it was with in 3km of the office. When I asked several times about it in the chat, they ignored the question and just firmly said we have to be at the office around 11:00. Vehicle was very comfortable!

Pickup was on time. Although there was so much traffic. The pick-up point was a bit confusing as the staff at reception doesn't want to deal with waiting passengers. Whatsapp communication is acceptably ok I guess. But the bus is super comfortable. Wifi is ok. Cabin space is good. I would book again gladly.

Cabins where short, no toilet on the bus. First toilet stop was already after 45 minutes, then no stop for 4 hours.

All the arrangements before the departure were very good. However, the driver was very poor. We couldn't sleep at all the whole night.
