If you want to see the Perfume Pagoda, you have to go with a local guide like Minh. Not only does he help you navigate the journey, but he also shares personal insights, history and cultural information about the area, its people and customs. It is a very beautiful and special place, and we were glad we got to see it. Highlights: Minh was a great guide. His English is good, he's friendly and helpful, and he gave us lots of information to make the visit much deeper. It is so beautiful. Totally worth the trip. The lunch was generous and yummy. I really liked that it was a small tour group, just 7 of us. Tips: It is quite a long day, so I would recommend taking extra snacks and water with you. You can also buy these along the way. Be prepared for the weather. We went on a very hot day which was a bit tough at times but Minh helped us out - umbrellas on the boat, finding patches of shade, and organising cable car passes (there's no way we would have been able to walk up!) etc. Take toilet stops when Minh recommends, he know which ones are cleanest. We visited outside of the festival period so it was very quiet - we liked this! But if you want a totally different experience you could choose to go during the festival (Jan-March). Embrace karaoke. No one cares if you sing badly.

Booked: Perfume Pagoda Fullday

Booked the suite, 2 person in one room. Was given free upgrade to premium suite which was a wonderful experience. Had a queen sized bed and a small living room area to put luggage, sit down, have some snacks. Very unique experience. Also thoughtful, given ear plugs in anticipation of noise.

Booked: Hanoi to Sapa Overnight Train | PREMIUM CABIN

Easy to find driver, we got enough breaks for toilet and food which was great- the driver offered us food and water which was very sweet. Not the drivers fault but he couldn’t take me to my hotel as I wasn’t able to change the drop off address on seek Sophie- the online booking system could be a bit more user friendly for this kind of thing !

Booked: Hanoi-Sapa *Ecosapa Bus Limousine VIP 9 Seats

The experience was seamless - all you need is your Seek Sophie email to be given all your details at the train station. The train itself was clean and so were the beds. I was placed in the room with a very nice couple, which was a bonus. It was also nice to have the shower option at the station when I arrived at my destination. Only downside is someone was smoking on the train and that meant occasionally cigarettes could be smelt. However, it was only minor.

Booked: Hanoi to Sapa Overnight Train | PREMIUM CABIN

1. Great service and arrangements provided by Ms Fang through email with clear instructions from issuing e tickets to hotel shuttle bus arrangements. 2. Smooth check in with e-ticket at Chapa booth located right in front of boarding gate at second floor of Hanoi Train Station. 3. Clean and comfortable cabin with nice decorations. Light snacks, fruits and drinks provided for free. Me and husband had very good sleep despite the train was shaky and noisy. 4. Shuttle bus driver waited us once we arrived at Lao Cai Train Station. Polite and friendly driver.
