Ninh Binh to Sapa Lao Cai Destination Reviews

ND
Once we got on the bus itself it was gray the bus was spacious (only 2 rows) and very comfy. The problem was from Ninh Binh to Hanoi. We booked to Sapa but it had a transfer in Hanoi which is fine but we got no information about the itinerary. We had to take 3 different vans to get from Ninh Binh to Hanoi and then wait 1h before getting on the bus. Having multiple transfer would have been fine if we knew about it but non of the driver spoke English so we did not know where we weee going or Hong long was the drive. Overall it wasn’t bad but they could really improve on just letting their passenger know what the program is, how many transfer there will be and so on

Bus at 11.45 from Tam Coc doesn’t exist according to the ladies in The Long hotel office. There is only one at 12.30 which showed up 15min late. We made several stops along the way to pick up some packages, the drivers cigarettes, … but I reckon that’s just the way it is. We still arrived a the promised time, which was good.

Bus was clean and comfortable, service was lacking. The departure was actually scheduled for half an hour later than what we had been told, and the bus arrival location was 1km away from the location we had booked.

Bus left 45 minutes too late and arrived 1 hour before the schedule. There was water dropping. The air condition at the seat was broken and not adjustable. Great was to get a drop-off near the hotel.

We left Tam Coc between 12.30-12.45 pm and where in Sapa at the appointed time at 19.30. Good driver, 2 toilet breaks on the way, the same bus the whole way. All in all best bus ride I had in Vietnam
