Hanoi SapaExpress to Sa Pa SapaExpress Destination Reviews

Everything was great, bus was late a bit but like 15 minutes. Water and sanitation tissue was provided, bus was clean and tidy. Staff was helpful.

I booked the sleeper bus at 6am and ended up starting the trip at 7am in a van instead. No explanation, no information in advance

Very comfortable VIP bus, smooth ride overall I had a very good experience traveling with G8. The VIP bus is extremely comfortable, clean, and well-equipped — one of the best buses I’ve taken in Vietnam. The only small downside was an unexpected stop for breakfast about 30 minutes before arriving at the destination, which caused a slight delay. Personally, I would have preferred to arrive directly since we were already very close. That said, the comfort and quality of the bus definitely make up for it. I would still highly recommend G8 for long-distance travel.

Very good. Was not expecting to first go on a small shuttle to the main bus. Seats recline back and has massage option as well as heat or cold air in seats. Two rest stops were made along the way from Hanoi to Sapa. No shoes allowed in bus and at the stops they provide sandals for temporarily use. Would use again.

The cabins did not feel clean and smelled of cheesy feet. The service station stop food was probably the worst food I’ve ever had in my life and generally the ride was not very comfortable. It’s good there was a toilet on board at least and the driver was safe and good at his job

Everything was on time and easy to follow.. BUT there were cockroaches inside the cabin and many more on the floor outside the cabin. Pretty nasty.

The main bus and service was excellent. The only issue was the pickup in the minibus. The mini bus was packed and uncomfortable and we thought that was going to be for the whole ride to Sa Pa. The mini bus driver was rude and didn’t tell us anything.
