It was Not a Taxi With 6 but a Minivan With 12 People.

Not good. Trying to get money out of you every chance they get. A train operator said to me and my friend if we want this room to ourselves we would have to pay, we refused and we ended up being the only people in the room anyway. Bed wasn’t comfy at all. The operators were also rude and not helpful.

We booked the bus from Lao Cai to Sapa. The driver was waiting in front of the train station with a sign with our name. We left nearly on time. Drive was good, nothing dangerous as we read in other comments. We can recommend them and booked the return drive with them as well.

Had difficulty finding the driver at the train station . Many drivers with signs but despite extensive searching his wasn’t obvious for unknown reasons but a local found him for us. Contributing factor may have been our arrival by bus when the train was halted halfway from Hanoi due to rail washout

First one to be picked-up, then the long wait for people arrive. You can ask to be pick-up in the place of your choice if they can go there so do not hesitate to contact them on Whatapps. 1-2 breaks. Ride was normal but beware of the AC if you are weak to it. Locals and goods were also picked-up on our way but that the way it is. Don’t be surprised.
