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.

This was my first sleeper bus experience and it surpassed all expectations! The bed seat was comfortable and the stops along the way were nicely paced, with good food options.

Booked: Hanoi to Sapa Sleeper Bus (Best Value)

Very comfortable ride throughout. Driver was flexible to come and pick us up at our hotel directly. Also dropped us off at our hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter directly. Safe driving, driver took 2 breaks during the trip to ensure regulated driving periods. Was given a bottle of mineral water each, a small cup of Vietnamese coffee as well as piece of packet bread. Also managed to charge phone using onboard USB. Great experience, would recommend for fuss free journey with some flexibility, took 5.5h to reach Hanoi from Sapa.

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

Excellent bus service in terms of punctuality and cleanliness. Took the sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa departing at 7am - do note that you will be asked to arrive ready to board half an hour before. However, they still waited for the last two remaining passengers who arrived around 645am. Bus still arrived at Sapa as scheduled at 1pm. Bed feels new and very clean, in part as they require you to remove your shoes before boarding - they thoughtfully provide plastic bags for you to bring your shoes in. Bed is completely lie-flat, but you can also incline it up slightly for better back support. A clean fleece blanket is also provided. Window shades can be drawn for sleeping.
