Hanoi Old Quarter to Sapa Destination Reviews

AL
Bus was on time, everything went well. There are covers on the bus in case you find the AC too strong. We had two bathroom breaks, one 30 minutes (to eat) and another 10 to 15 minutes break. Just expect some locals to get on board sometimes and be quite loud talking with the driver.

The drivers shoukd drive slower and more safe. This one was compared to othera okay, but still something like a near dead experience.

Though the updated schedule confused me, the HK Sapa Open Tour Bus pick me up and take me to catch up the bus with shuttle. The bus and the equipment is excellent good for sleep, and the bed with massage chair is a big plus. Really a good choice for sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa.

Best busride ever: very spacious bed with USB charger, TV, water, toilet onboard. Driver cleans the bed after every passenger leaves, very clean bus. Only minor point is that we left & arrived with 1 hour delay but it was compensated by the very comfortable ride. Would 100% recommend!

All in all we had a good experience. Our bus just wasn't on time, which is okay but a bit annoying if you're told to arrive at least 30 Minutes before departure. No toilets on the bus, one stop on the way where we had to pay for the toilet. Bus was very clean and the cabins were comfortable.

I got E-mail from 12 go that the bus will late about hour and a half but actually the bus was late about 3 hours. They texted me by whatsapp but not clearly I had to keep waiting. When 2.3 hours passed there was a car took you from the airport to bus station (very bad location) and I had to wait for the bus around half and hour The window shade full of dust. The electric bed was broken so it could’t adjust the level you and only lay down
