Mei –
Head to their physical website! highly recommend for transport to Sapa & for activities!
1. My transit from Noi Bai Int. Airport to Sa Pa was very smooth, i didn’t had to think much as they listed everything down for me and even got me ready even before I packed for this trip. Everything was accounted for and made this solo trip very easy to plan, even the sleeper bus catered was top notch. I requested to change my date of departure from Sapa back to Hanoi when I already arrived in Sapa and they accommodated to my request even for a last minute change!
2. I booked a one day trip up Fansipan with them as suggested by my girlfriend who was going to hike and booked their trip with Sapa nomad and the service by both this agency and my guide was amazing. I didn’t had to think much about anything as even my guide carried my meals, snacks, water and other essentials for the hike. Even as it rained halfway through the hike, my guide was prepared. Shows the reliability of both the people in action and behind the scenes.
It may be a little on the pricey side but the quality of service and the entire experience really makes this whole solo trip worth it. Thank you team!
