Sapa Express Bus From Hanoi To Sapa Or Return

Posted By : OurTimeOff
The bus was clean and comfortable.
It was a little hard to find the pick up point, but that was the taxi driver not understanding us.
The journey was quite good, and the driver and guide got us to sapa safely.

Really efficient and great way to see the countryside safely while travelling to and from Sa Pa to Hanoi. Bus seats are like airplane Business Class seats and are super comfortable.

Together with other tourists, we were picked up early in the morning at the central meeting point in Hanoi, a small office with a toilet, only a few minutes late. Seats were assigned and everyone received a bottle of water. The guide spoke and understood English and made few, but just the right, announcements. Super comfortable seats with lots of legroom, so you didn't feel cramped even when the person in front of you folded the backrest all the way back. Wifi was OK with occasional outages. Two longer stops in covered areas. Air conditioning was perfect. Despite the traffic jam in Hanoi, we arrived in Sapa on time, right on time (1 p.m., according to the timetable 12.30 p.m.). Tip: call the hotel in good time (at least 24 hours in advance) to be picked up (we missed it).

Between Hanoi and Sapa in 6 hours. Nice seats that you can move all the way back without bothering the rear neighbor.
2 steps at large food market and toilet
Running on time, friendly staff

I took a bus from Sapa office to Hanoi office at 7am. It cost 19 dollars. There is hotel pick up from Hanoi. The trip takes about 6 hours and there is a break every 2 hours. There is a fee for using the toilets so prepare 3,000 VND. The Sapa office is near the lake. You can make a reservation on their website.

We used Sapa Express bus to get to Sapa and back to Hanoi in our summer vacation of 2023. The bus is clean and very comfortable. We really appreciate the driver Dan and his assistant Max for a safe trip. The staff, from the office to the driver assistant, has great command of their English. We had no problem communicating our needs to them. We certainly will enlist their services again on our next trip to Sapa.

The bus was clean, comfortable and the seats were nice.

Getting to the office around 6AM, I was due a refund as I cancelled my return journey from Sapa, as my plans have changed. The staff member was helpful, refunding me knowing my name before me saying!

The journey was broken up well, with multiple stops along the way. At the service stations, they charge 300 Vietnamese dong to use the toilet. However, they charge non western people either 100 dong or they let them go through for free, I found this to be a rather strange rule but it is cheap so it doesn’t really matter.

The driver was safe and professional, taking his time and driving to the speed limit. We got into Sapa earlier than quoted around 12:45PM instead of 1PM.

The drivers assistant was very kind and helpful and spoke very good English. Sorry, I can’t remember his name.

I didn’t like that as you are getting of this bus in Sapa, the locals are hounding you for taxis before you have left the bus door or picked up your bag from the hold.

Sapa looks beautiful, but one thing that spoils it for most tourist, is the continuous bombarding to sell you a taxi or something else and it is continuous in Sapa, they follow you down the street.. No means no.

We have been quoted overpriced taxi fairs and other trips. I don’t like that some people take advantage of tourists. We are more likely to spend more money when we are treated fairly.

So far I found found Sapa to be rather disappointing.

Very efficient in pick up and drop off. Great buses, very comfortable, free wi-fi on board. Staff were all very professional at all times.
There are 2 refreshment breaks each way. We opted for the 7am buses both ways but there are a variety of choices.
Great views travelling through this part of Vietnam.
