Ninh Binh to Sapa Destination Reviews

C

We booked a ride from Tam Coc to Sapa. There was 3 of us. I believe the ride was advertised as 6.5 hours. The total trip took 8 hours and was serviced by 2 different vehicles. The first vehicle brought us from Tam Coc to Noi Bai airport where we transferred to a second vehicle to complete the journey to Sapa. So there was some delay in going out of our way for the transfer. We were never told about the transfer until 30 minutes before the transfer took place. The first vehicle was not very comfortable in the back seats as the depth of the seat itself was too short. The second vehicle was very comfortable. Going up the mountain from Lao Cai to Sapa was a bit hair raising as our driver passed several vehicles on what appeared to be blind turns but the turns were mostly very wide and probably safe if the vehicles coming down did not cut the wide corners. On the second leg of this trip the driver had to stop for fuel. Not sure why he did not fill up before the trip. We also stoped once for 25 minutes, and again for 20 minutes. There was construction on the road up the mountain to Sapa where we had to stop and wait for about 15 minutes. So the thing that I have the most problem with is the lack of communication. I already mentioned one area. Another is that the service company did not confirm to us the ride, and there was no way to contact the company, so we were very nervous about the driver showing up. He was 10 minutes late. That's not bad but I would have liked to have received a message that he was on his way and a message at least the day before from the service company confirming the ride.

Excellent service, easy to book, we had a great experience. We booked a private car through 12go.Asia, twice and both times were great. Our driver was on time, professional and his driving was excellent, the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Would book again.

Travelling by taxi essentials

  • To ensure you are picked up when required, book your taxi transfer in advance. It is vital to plan your journeys early if you are going to travel during the busiest periods – high season or just rush hours. Sometimes it will be impossible to book a long ride with the immediate departure – in the best-case scenario you will have to wait for hours, in the worth one – to postpone or cancel your trip.
  • Make sure you have clearly agreed on pick up and drop off locations prior to the trip. If getting to your location requires special instructions – e.g., road closures, non-resident cars are banned from entering your compound, etc. – let the driver know it in advance.
  • If you need to make a detour or are planning any stops during your taxi ride, want to check any tourist attractions or pick up additional passengers in locations other than your pick up point, inform your taxi company beforehand. Extra fees may be charged – or may not, depending on your route, the car type, and the company’s policy. Anyway, it is always better to confirm everything before your trip. If you fail to do so, your driver may not be able to meet your request enroute due to his further schedule – he may be assigned for another trip.
  • Not all the taxi drivers in any country are able to speak English. If you require an English-speaking driver, inform your taxi company about it in advance and get their confirmation. If your trip does not require any additional stops or deviations from the route, you can most probably survive it even with a non-English-speaking driver, can’t you?
  • If you have any other special requirements, e.g. a car seat for your kid or baby, a female driver, no car perfume, etc. require in advance. Additional fees may apply. Do not hesitate to ask your driver to switch off the music or stop talking if you do not feel like chatting – it is totally ok, just do it politely.
  • The majority of cars on offer are non-smoking, yet your driver can be a smoker and smoke outside the car, e.g. during the stops. If it is of importance to you, do not forget to mention ‘a non-smoking driver’ in comments or special requirements section.
  • It is usually prohibited to drink alcohol while in taxi – yes, even if you are just a passenger. The same refers to smelly foods or foods in general. In some Asian countries you will not be allowed to have durians in your luggage, either.
  • It is compulsory to use seat belts for all the passengers in a car no matter whether you occupy a front seat or rear seats. Locate your safety belt and fasten it even if your driver does not insist on it.
  • As a rule, there is a short waiting period included into your taxi rate quoted, especially if you travel from/to the airport or train station. Often it does not exceed 15 or 30 minutes. If longer waiting time is required, you will be charged extra after the trip. Check the rates your company offers before the trip.
