Quang Ninh to Sapa Destination Reviews

Mr Long our driver was really good. Breaks at regular intervals. As we got towards Sapa the road was full of landslides, he drove confidently but safely and insisted on getting us to as close to our destination.

Booked a trip from Hà Long Bay to Sapa after finishing a cruise. Unlike every other tour/driver in Vietnam I wasn't given any driver/vehicle details so I had to ask the cruise guide to phone and get some details for us. We then met our driver outside the cruise terminal. Car was luxury and fit 3 adults nicely. The driver was great but we noticed he put the airport in as the destination (we had booked through to Sapa). We managed a stunted conversation thanks to Google translate and also called vts who explained that due to driver rules, the drivers couldn't do lore than 6 hours and we had to change cars/drivers in order to comply. Initially we thought we were being put on a bus but it turned out to be the same type of nice suv. The second driver took us to toilets and food stops along the way and was easily the best driver we've had in any country for many years. Would love to have gotten his name so I could ask specifically for him next time. He was professional, avoided potholes to ensure a smoother ride and committed to getting us there in decent time but also safe. Aside from the absence of communication about the driver details and driver change we are very happy with the transfer service.

Mr Quang was on time and very helpful. He drove very smoothly, made us feel safe and took breaks at good places along the way. This was a drive from HaLong Bay to Sapa and took 8h in total. 10/10!

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.
