Much better than the bus. Hanoi to Lao Cai night train. Leave at 9.20 pm, we booked a 2 berth cabin, no sharing with strangers. 2 bunk beds, pillows and blanket. Bed side table with a cold beer and coke, bananas, biscuits and nuts are a nice touch. Hot coffee and tea arrive as we depart. Great views of Hanoi as we slowly leave the city. Sleep well as we rattle and sway through the night. Shortly before we arrive in Lao Cai there is a knock on the door and coffee and breakfast bars delivered. The train was way better than the return trip by road. ...Read more

Very convenient! Friendly customer service and legit service too! when i first came to hanoi. all i want a straight transportation to Sa Pa town ASAP. since i arrive at noon, the only bus that departed from Hanoi center to Sa Pa is 10pm. since i don't want to waste my time, i found A21 tours in the internet and they provided an airport transfer straight to Sa Pa! just what i wanted! i took the luxury limo throught their customer service whatsapp service and they reply me zap! just a second! they also give a free snack and drinks, and don't forget free coffee too! the driver couldn't speak any english words but it's okay, i always have google translate to communicate with him. the driver also send in front of my hotel! he's really nice and helpful too! when i back to Hanoi city, i also book from them but with sleeper green bus. one thing is you need to walk to their place (google map given) to depart from Sa Pa. i just slept along the way inside the bus because i am so tired from all those hikes and walks. they stop at Old quarter just 5min walks to my hostel. the conductor bus is also helpful. and yes i recommend using their service. really helpful and easy too! im looking forward to come hanoi next time and use their service again! Thank you A21 tours! ...Read more

Hassle free trip from Hanoi to Sapa -VIP bus Me and my siblings were planning to go from Hanoi to Sapa. Till we realized we haven't book our sleeper bus. We searched and came across A21 tours and tried to see if we can still be accommodated provided that the booking was done less than 24 hours. We booked online, and pro actively we have also sent a message in Whatsapp to ensure that once payment is done, we can get the e-ticket confirmation. To our surprise, just around 4-5 hours, they have reached out to us to guide us on the payment process and the issuance of the e-ticket as well. Their swift response was a relief w/our anxiety given the limited time for us. Also, it didn't stopped from just issuing the vip bus e-ticket confirmation but A21 tours consistently checked us from departure to arrival and any other concerns in between. They made sure that the tourists will only get enjoyment, safety and hassle free experience. Highly recommended. ...Read more

I have been waiting a long time to do this trip and it was most worthwhile. Some great reviews below describe things better than I can. Online booking was easy I booked two way VIP 2 berth cabin… read the confirmation email well for connecting with the agent at the station second floor. The carriage was classic, vintage feel with wood panelling and delightful decor. Fruit beer and snacks provided. Power in the cabin. Excellent sleep , bedding good and clean. Despite many stops (single track) the journey was enjoyable. Dawn scenery of the Red River was a bonus. Wake up call and a powerful 3 in 1 Vietnamese coffee as a heart starter. Just great! ...Read more

Comfortable transfer We booked a return transfer from Hanoi Old Quarter to Sapa in November for the two of us. We paid slightly more for the VIP seats of Hanoi Sapa limousine, which can be lowered for more comfortable ride. The pick up was timely and the ride was comfortable. The vehicle comes with USB charging Point, free wifi, a bottle of water and bread. At one of the rest stop, we were also given a voucher to redeem for either coffee, tea or Hanoi beer. Booking of the transfer is also easy via email and WhatsApp. They will also send reminder before the trip via WhatsApp. Would definitely recommend visitors to use A21Tours ...Read more

AMAZING SERVICE. Wow!! I was truly blown away by the amazing service A21 provided. This is a better connection service than I have experienced anywhere in the U.S. and Europe, and I have traveled quite a few places. The company is so incredibly organized. I got off my plane in Hanoi and didn’t know how to get to Ha Long Bay, I found their information online and they showed up within 20mins!! The entire time everything was so organized and effortless. The van was super comfortable and quick, we had free WiFi in the van the entire way to Ha Long, chargers, water and blankets. We took the 2-hour quick way which I appreciated so much more than the 4hour trek many people I encountered in Ha Long had took.

Air conditioning and a drinks trolley came down the carriage early in the trip and sold cold drinks, wine and snacks. The bed was made with white crisp sheets and doona.

Customized tour and transfer for 6 people. The services provided by A21 were excellent. All our transfer services (from Hanoi airport to Sapa, Sapa to Hanoi hotel and hotel to airport) arrived on time. The drivers were courteous too. We were even provided water and snacks on our 5 hrs drive from Sapa to Hanoi and there was free WiFi in all their transportations. We likewise availed of their Halong Bay tour and half-day Hanoi city tour. The guides that we had (Ms. Emma and Mr. Cheongsam, respectively) were knowledgeable and spoke decent English. We recommend that you wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes if you’ll join the short trek in Halong Bay. The climb is not recommended for those with weak knees. Make sure to bring some snacks too as lunch was served late. Don’t expect you’ll be able to go for a good swim once you get to one of the islands. The swimming area and time allotted were limited. Also, there were no shower areas and changing areas. Overall, we were very satisfied with the A21 services. Communication was easy via email and WhatsApp. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. It’s a very reliable company and I would highly recommend it. Thank you A21 for making our trip stress-free and enjoyable! Xin cam o’n! ...Read more

8 hours - Overnight Train to Sapa. We booked directly online. Everything went smoothly. We were upgraded from superior to deluxe cabin that sleeps 4 people. So we had to share with another couple, which was fine because we all slept the whole way. There was free water or beer, bananas, chips, and free WiFi. The beds were very clean and even the bathroom were not that bad. It is an excellent way to go to Sapa and you save one nights hotel bill while traveling. If you get motion sickness be warned this train goes up and down and sways side to side, all at the same time, it is quite bumpy and noisy. Not to mention it makes a lot of stops along the way. Earplugs and Dramamine might help. ...Read more

Probably the most comfortable way from Hanoi to Sa Pa. We booked the VIP version, two bed cabin of King Express train. It was reasonably clean. We did not see any bugs or vermin. Toilettes were ok. We did get some sleep. The train was very punctual both times. The train took 7.5 hours from Hanoi to Lao Cai. The employees in the train sell you staff that is actually free. I paid for the tee anyway because these people are very poor and it is very little they charge. When you arrive at La Coi station, there are lots of Minibuses that take you to Sa Pa for small money. This takes about one hour. The drivers already wait in front of the train. It is safe to go with them, no scam. ...Read more

Convenient and easy. The distribution of reviews on here doesn't look good - so in fairness I thought I'd update with my review because our experience was quite positive. We took the Fansipan express from Sapa back to Hanoi on 29/9/19 leaving at 13:30, checkin was smooth(ish) - its a scruffy office on a chaotic street where you wait but this is Sapa in Vietnam after all - so expoected. Bus is confortable enough, Im 1.73m and had plenty of legroom, the berth is private with a curtain. Its a big bus. The road leaving Sapa is tight and twisty for th first hour down to the highway at Lao Cai, so this isnt airplane or train smoothness - however it was fine in the day. Once on the highway the driver drove at a steady 100km/hr (checked with GPS) there didnt seem to be any taumatic moments - the general standard of driving in VIetnam is pretty poor and our driver seemed to cope well - even when you come across 2 trucks stopped on the highway blocking both lanes with one reversing!!! By the time we got into Hanoi the drivers favourite control seemed to be the horn as I think we were running 15min late. We took this bus not because we expected a really smooth comfortable sleep and not because its cheap - its just that it IS comfortable and it leaves at a very convenient time allowing a hotel checkout at midday and then a 13:30 departure. Itys a 5.5hr drive to Hanoi - even if you take the train you have to get a bus or taxi down to Lao Cai for the first hour anyway - if you've got luggage or cases this is easier than dragging onto a train as well - as there was loads of storage space as in all long distance coaches. Coach made 2 stops on way back - strange open sided supermarkets selling some strange stuff alongside touirist 'tat', beware you need 3k dong to pay for the toilets! Make sure you;ve got some small notes. To be honest there isn't much alternative for getting to and from Sapa, trains are slow and go overnight only to Lao Cai, a private taxi would be expensive - and seeing the driving standards in Vietnam I'd rather be on a big bus! Also Im sure some of the more negative views on here are for the wrong bus - this coach as in the main picture is orange and black - its called a VIP cabin bus, some of the pictures of the interior are for a different bus. We would use again because of the convenience. ...Read more

I even forgot my phone in the van, and they managed to bring it back to me right away - again I am grateful for their quick response, when we texted them about it. It was also very cheap, considering the comfort and the bottle of water each passenger got. We had a great ride here and I can only recommend to book your ride with A21.

Hanoi/Sapa/Hanoi journey We were 2 adults and 3 children traveling to Sapa from Hanoi and back to Hanoi last week. We booked a shared journey but had the minibus to ourselves on the way to Sapa which was a real treat. The reclining seats are very comfortable, there is reasonable wifi on board which was a benefit we hadn't realised when booking, charging ports for each seat. On our return to Hanoi the bus was full and I was sat in the front with the driver and his colleague which makes for a bit more of a squashed seat but it was ok. It is good to know that when all seats are booked on a shared journey that that includes the use of a front seat as well which although do recline it does not have the arm rests and other comforts of seats in the rear. Vouchers for drinks are given at one stop, one small bottle of water given on boarding the bus, food options are limited at the two stops particularly if you have children with you so we would recommend taking food (or at least your own choice of snacks) with you if possible. Both journey times were 6 hours with stops. On both journeys the drivers drove safely and calmly which we appreciated particularly on the very twisty road for the last part of the journey into Sapa. ...Read more

My family and I used A21 Tours for private transport from Hanoi to Ninh Binh, and then again Ninh Binh to the Hanoi airport. They were easy to use, the drivers were on time, and the vehicle's were air-conditioned and clean. We had to move our flight several hours earlier due to weather, and they were still able to accommodate us and get us to the airport on time. It's cheaper to book directly through them, then try to use a tour platform like Viator or Get your guide on (though I use those platforms for other things). I would definitely recommend A21 for private transportation. ...Read more

Sleeper Bus is worth the price but you need to bring wipes for stopovers. The cabins are spacious which is great. The bed was comfy with a massage option. The customer service is also good. The only thing that’s stopping me from giving this 5-star was the stopover. It was in the middle of nowhere and the toilets were disgusting.

Go with this company I heard many stories about no communications and horrible riding conditions on other booking sites. But A21 was different. I took a van for Hanoi to Ninh Binh and back. Both times the communication through whatsapp was flawless. I'm guessing that they assign a person to you so that you are interacting with the same person the whole time. The agent for me was Phuong and she did an excellent job. Answering all my questions and updating me on when the van will arrive and checking to see if im on it. I also had to change the time of my trip and Phuong changed it no problem. As for the van, I believe they don't own the vans so they hire outside van companies. But I think A21 keep a close contact with them so that everything will run smoothly. Overall, very pleased to have gone with them. If you have any doubt, choose them and they will take care of you. ...Read more

Highly recommended transfers We initially considered booking our transfer between Hanoi and Ninh Binh (Trang An) through 12go.asia, a popular platform. However, after seeing mostly underwhelming reviews regarding the transfer carriers, particularly concerning multiple vehicle changes (3-4 times), we opted for a more reliable option. We discovered a21tours's transfer services and decided to give them a try. Upon attempting to confirm our reservation through their provided payment link, we encountered an unknown error. After notifying their WhatsApp support, they promptly provided another link, which unfortunately still didn't work. Fortunately, they offered the option to pay the driver directly upon pickup, which was incredibly convenient. Despite initial uncertainty about whether the driver would drop us off at our remote Homestay, everything went smoothly, with only one vehicle change necessary due to the narrow path to our accommodation. We also booked our return transfer with them, which was equally hassle-free. The drivers were courteous and drove safely throughout the journey. Overall, no complaints about the experience. ...Read more

I'm so glad I read the reviews on Tripadvisor because I would have not otherwise known about Vic Sapa train. From the time booking Mrs Nguyen was impeccable, replying to emails promptly and offering all needed assistance. We chose a VIP cabin for 2 and actually had a very comfortable journey. Sure, the train swings, but you would have that with any company since it's one operator for the entire train. In fact, the swinging motion helped me fall asleep. The carriage is beautiful on the inside, our cabin was impeccably clean and so was the toilet throughout the entire journey, a huge plus. We also had free snacks and drinks in our cabin. Overall, a great experience, I only wish they would cover other train routes, we would surely book with Vic. ...Read more

We booked 4x Chapa Express train tickets (2 way) to Sapa & Private car (2 way) to Halong Bay. It was a breeze using A21 & strongly recommend using their services. Their prices are also comparable to other local rates. ...Read more

Use this company for your transfers! We organised our transfer from Hanoi airport to Cat Ba through A21 Tours. It was really efficient including checking we were clear where to meet and proving photos, timings and pick up car details. By far the best transfer we had in Vietnam. Very reasonable prices compared to others.

Green Bus is comfy - clear & good arrangement My friend and I took green bus from Sapa to Hanoi, the bus was comfy. There’s a girl as the bus assistant, who speak very good english and would repeat the pre-recorded broadcasts so to make sure everyone aware of the notices. We booked the other bus company from Hanoi to Sapa, it was also comfy but the arrangement is not better. Also they don’t have clear instruction about when is the next stop. No notice at all, the bus assistant was just sleeping. And only one toilet time which is not quite enough for a 6 hours trip. One thing i think green bus can improve is to pay more attention to the guests during the trip. As some of them were eating oranges in the bus which the bus is not allow eating. and some of them watching drama without an earphone, that was ignoring. I asked that person to volume down by myself. If the bus assistant can help for such then it would be even better. Overall, green bus is good and I will book again if I come to Sapa again. 舒適及安排很好。我們乘Green Bus由Sapa到河內。巴士助理很有禮貌，英語亦很好。相比起由河內到Sapa的旅程（別的巴士公司），Green Bus的安排比較好。停站的次數也多一次。 ...Read more

Great service! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience with eco sapa. I contacted them on Facebook about a transfer from Hanoi to Sapa. They were very responsive and helpful and we stopped by their office in Hanoi to purchase our tickets for the following day. Very clean, very comfortable and a safe driver. The only downside was that the schedule changed slightly the day before so we could go and pick up other passengers from around Hanoi- this took a long while to drive around Hanoi and collect them and meant the transfer for us was longer as we were the first to be picked up. This was communicated to us beforehand though directly from the bus operators and they arranged an earlier pick up time for us to try and accommodate this. To be aware of: The driver didn’t speak English but the tour operators did so we had everything we needed to know before we set off from them, and any problems you can contact them directly on Facebook. Make sure you ask any questions you need from them. We made 2 stops for toilet and and food and made it to sapa in around 6 1/2 hours (again this was longer for us than usual). Would recommend Ecosapa for good communication and comfortable safe transfer. Thank you! ...Read more

We availed the transfer service from Hanoi to Sapa on October 30, 2019, and from Sapa to Hanoi on November 4, 2019. Overall, we had a good experience. We e-mailed the company directly in July 2019 to make our reservations. The interactions were smooth and timely. We specifically requested for the VIP seats (seats in the middle of the van) at the time of booking. Everything happened on our transfers as per the description. We were picked up slightly ahead of schedule from our hotel at Hanoi (in the Old Quarter). The scheduled rest stops were made, and we received the complimentary coupon at one of them. We were dropped off at our hotel in Sapa. The van was driven safely at all times. Air conditioning and wi-fi worked as expected. On the return journey, the pick up was delayed slightly due to traffic jams, but, from the time we were picked up from our hotel in Sapa, the rest of the journey was uneventful and went as per the expectations. We were dropped off at our hotel in Hanoi. Overall, we were happy with the service, and would choose the service again in the future if we have a need. Keep up the good work, team! ...Read more

Just ok. We travelled in a 4 berth cabin on the King Express From Hanoi to Sapa. The rooms are very small so take as little luggage as possible. We left three bags in our hotel at Hanoi and just took what we needed in one bag on the train to save space. Mattresses are pretty hard and not very wide but we managed to get some sleep. Husband suffered motion sickness - it can get pretty rocky. Trip back to Sapa was better as we knew what to expect. A very basic journey but good if you would prefer to travel overnight. ...Read more

Fun trip What a great way to travel. Our taxi dropped us at the wrong train station, but Chapa were great and got us to the train. We had a 4 berth deluxe that I booked online. We got water, soft drink, chips, nuts, toothbrush, comb, face wipe and ear plugs. The top bunks had better air conditioning but it was very comfortable, there was wifi and we took portable fans that you charge which was perfect for the bottom bunks. Loved the rocking of the train, easy to fall asleep. The private Chapa lounge on the station at the end was very disappointing. I enquired before I left about a shower and breakfast and they said yes all free, when we got there nothing was opened so we ended up going straight to our hotel and paying extra to get an early check in which worked out better. Highly recommend travelling with this company. The train has many carriages all owned by different companies, we were very happy with Chapa. ...Read more

Very pleasant journey from SaPa to Hanoi. We travelled on the VIP service from SaPa to Hanoi and despite the largely negative views this was a very pleasant experience. I am 6ft 2 and was comfortable throughout the entire journey. Driving did feel a bit erratic at times and travelling down from SaPa was a little unnerving but that’s par for the course once you decide to bus it instead of getting the train. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and cannot fault the experience. I have travelled on much worse back home and paid a lot more too. Information was translated into English too regarding stops and arrival in Hanoi which was helpful. Toilet on board was clean, which was impressive considering a lot of people struggle to keep a toilet clean even when they don’t have a moving bus to contend with. ...Read more

Fun and comfortable trip to Sapa! Not sure why there are so many mixed reviews on these overnight trains to Sapa, but my family had a wonderful time on Chapa Express. We were with two other families, for a total of 13 people. Each family was traveling with small children and we all had our own cabin with 4 beds in each cabin. The cabins were clean, the beds adequate, service was good, and the overall ride was not as bumpy as others have said. Would I do it again? Absolutely! It's a great way to get from Hanoi to Sapa without having to take a bus. The only benefit of taking a bus is you can go directly to your hotel in Sapa versus having to take a van from the train station. The trip from the station to our hotel took approximately 45 min. Other than that, I would highly recommend Chapa Express! ...Read more

Shambles. The train itself was lovely, cosey and clean. But the organisation for the two women at Chapa Express was an utter shambles!!! First of all the one woman purposely waited till 9pm before she would give anyone a ticket,by which point there was a huge 'crowd'. There was no queing system in place and the two women would just wonder off mid way through speaking to you and ask another person to follow them. I witnessed one man be given four tickets, randomly, another man moan so the women took the tickets off the first guy and gave them to the second one instead. The tickets had not been pre allocated to people it seemed. And it didn't matter what your booking reference was. At 9.45 myself and another guy were finally listened to. By that point, each of us still wanting our two tickets, they said there was only two remaining tickets? The lady frantically flapped around and found two tickets with another company so no one was left behind. It just leaves a sour taste on a journey that turned out ok in the end. All of this could have been avoided if the woman was not such a jobs worth initially and if she had actually done her job in the first place and allocated each booking their tickets to just be handed over on the day. ...Read more

The toilet was near and clean. However, on our way back the tea lady asked us to pay 50,000 dong for what is supposed to be a free coffee or tea included in our VIP package. We didn't pay and she relented and gave us our coffee and tea for free. She didn't provide us with towels. ...Read more

Depending on the car and the driver. We used the bus to go from Hanoi to Sapa and back. It's great that you are picked up at your hotel and get dropped off at your next hotel. Very convenient. The car on the first trip was quite new and the seats very spacious. Always try to book the VIP seats! The driver was great and drove relaxed. A very good trip. On the way back we had an older car. Also VIP seats, but space is limited. We had the fastest driver of the fleet. No other car was faster than us. In the mountains that was quite adventurous. This was a more rough tour. So, experience really depends on the car/driver. I can understand good and bad reviews now. In total I would use them again, it's quite convenient and the service is good. ...Read more

An Absolute Must In Vietnam. Easy. Affordable. Super Helpful. A21 has been amazing. I found them by chance online looking last minute for transportation. They made the second half of my time in Vietnam when I was crunched for time and still wanting to pack in more a breeze. I booked a car from Hanoi to Halong last second which was twice as fast as the bus and picked me up at the Hanoi airport right on time and took me straight to my hotel in Halong. In Halong they were able to get me on a boat tour that was amazing and back to Hanoi, which I had the best time on. From Hanoi I was able to grab one of their luxury buses to Ninh Binh. They pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel. Everyone you interact with is knowledgeable and speakers multi languages well. Witty and just all around great. You’re able to communicate directly with ease through WhatsApp, and pay via PayPal. When you totaled up costs of regular buses, the cabs you have to use to get to and from the stations, the wait time which can be hours because of schedules. The longer drive times. Then toss in food, and entrance fees you wind up paying more, especially if you toss in a tour guide. With a lot more footwork work. Even if A21 is 6-8 bucks more it’s absolutely worth it. This company is awesome. I would highly recommend reaching out to them. Super accommodating when plans change or are last minute too. ...Read more

So once i spoke to whomever was in charge, he literally exceeded expectation with the driver on the way back. A 7 seater car/van with Wi-Fi! Amazing way to redeem the experience. Thanks again.

Comfortable and safe ride. On arrival from Ninh Binh via train, we took the Chapa express to Sapa and was pleasantly surprised that it was clean, comfortable ride. Please note that to take the night train to Sapa, you’d have to walk about 10 minutes to the gate from Hanoi station. Gate is actually situated behind the main station, try google to find directions. Coming back to the cabin, the ride was a little noisy and shaky but we had a good night rest. Toilets were surprisingly clean and without smell of ammonia as some claimed. And compared to the Victoria express, which we took on our return leg to Hanoi, Chapa’s cabin was way more comfortable, bunks were a little wider and longer. To those that are undecided, I’d say choose Chapa express. You won’t regret saving that extra dollar that Victoria charges. ...Read more

All of them were booked and negotiated via Whatsapp where their response was inmediate, straight to the point, fairly priced. And they delivered a very reliable service accordingly. Some of the trops were long and the drivers were prepared, kind and proactive on planning stops for rests/toilets etc. We used door-to-door service and everytine they showed up 5-10 minues before departure with a comfortable, clean vehicle which was exactly in line we agreed. I also checked prices against other service providers and they were more than fair, so I am not even thinking of getting around with any other transfer service provider. Keep up the good service ...Read more

Perfection!! We stumbled over A21 only a few weeks before or trip to Vietnam. From the first minute, the contact was fast, professional and accurate. Where we were just looking for an airport transport to Hanoi, we rapidly felt comfortable to engage with A21 for most of our transport around Hanoi (from Hanoi to Halong Bay, Halong Nay to Ninh Binh and back to Hanoi). All trips were handled perfectly: pick up/drop off at hotel, always on time, comfortable cars, close follow up on the day of travel and even during the drives for longer distances, extremely friendly staff and fair pricing. I can only recommend their services Dear A21, again Thank you!! ...Read more

Great Service! Was looking for a Sapa to Noi Bai airport bus and came across this a21 website which had multiple bus options to get from Hanoi to Sapa as well. Finally decided to book my Hanoi to Sapa private cabin bus (under Fansipan Express) and Sapa to Noi Bai Airport (Green bus) from A21 tours. They were detailed in the communication and provide frequent updates to check with you up till the bus arrives. I was able to check with them when the Fansipan express bus arrival was delayed for the pickup from hotel. Payment online was quick and simple as well. Highly recommended. ...Read more

Awesome Service! They are fast in responding with enquiries/updates via Whatsapp. Mike from A21 Tours make sure everything goes smoothly by updating me on the status of the arrangements. We took a Wonderbay Day cruise in Halong Bay via A21 Tours. We stayed a night in Halong bay thus did not take the transport back to Hanoi provided by Wonderbay. A21 Tours provided the return trip to Hanoi using Luxury bus with NO additional charges. We also took their airport transfer to/from Hanoi by A21 Tours. Everything went as beautifully planned and scheduled. This is our first trip to Hanoi/ Halong Bay, A21 Tours makes our trip a breeze. Effortless and enjoyable. Totally satisfying and contented. Will strongly recommend A21 Tours. ...Read more

Booked a seat and return ticket on a luxury van from Hanoi to Tam Coc to visit Mua Caves. Clean, comfortable seats (9 only not overcrowded) A/C. Changed my return date at the last minute, A21 arranged without issue. Communicated easily with their office via WhatsApp. Only issue, neither driver spoke English and both were frustrated race track drivers. Otherwise services were great, would use again. ...Read more

(Translated by Google) We arrived at Halong Bay from a cruise and had not booked a transfer to Hanoi. A quick Google search led to A21. The communication about Whatsapp was very competent. Payment worked via credit card and an onepay.vn link sent to me. A short time later we were picked up by a luxury shuttle. Super Service!

We travelled from Hanoi to Lao Cai and back on Sapaly Express Train. We boarded a large train comprised of a number of carriages owned by different companies, Sapaly Express being one of these. First impressions were good with clean bedding, a duvet, complementary crackers, water and toothbrush. The beds were hard but that seems to be the case in many of the hotels in which we've stayed. I think regardless of the company you travel with you are in for a slightly bumpy, noisy ride and a very average nights sleep. (It is also worth knowing if you have a speaker in your cabin this can be turned off!). We had some trouble locating the collection desk for our tickets in Hanoi station and no one appeared at the Sapaly Express desk in Loa Cai to collect our return tickets. ...Read more
