Sapa to Halong Bay Destination Reviews

KM
We got a bus of a lower category than we booked. We arrived at the second transfer point too early.

When I arrived in Hanoi to change to the next bus, there was nobody there to tell me where to go next. I had to call the company and somebody came and organised the next part of the trip. I think they had just forgotten me. In the end I arrived with 2 hours delay.
