DO NOT BOOK
If I could give this zero stars I would. I booked this tour last minute the night before and they contacted me letting me know the day of that even though I booked it , we might not be able to go due to room and car So we upgraded our room and the ride to a “limousine” and a higher star hotel. 7 am they pick us up and the “limousine” is TINY and cramped. Me and my boyfriend sit in the front cramped riding for 6 hours. With barley any space. When I say do NOT book this tour I mean it. They stuff you in a tiny VAN with no leg room and up charge you for it. If the tour is full do not give people the option to book just so you guys can upcharge them and have them ride UNCOMFORTABLY for 6 hours. Next we get to the hotel and we’re informed that the 3 of us will be staying in the same room.. with one bed and there’s an up charge if we want 2 rooms. So we pay the upcharge when we already paid for a upcharge to a “nicer” hotel. The hotel is nice but the food is bland. The first tour was okay.. it was cold and foggy so we could barley see anything. We get back to the hotel and the people we booked through inform us that there’s not a room at the hotel we’re staying at for tomorrow night and DOWNGRADE us to a tiny hotel room and ask us to pay again for an extra room when we PAID the upgrade price already for the hotel and limousine upgrade just so they can stick us in a tiny hotel and inform us that if we want to continue to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner that came with our package we booked we would have to walk to the old hotel we were staying at prior. The tours.. just so you know cat cat village is a place locals go to sell stuff and they are aggressive. It was so crowded and we were rushed from place To place. The next day we hiked the rice hills.. our tour guide ran into her village elders and asked them to come along to help us through the rice Fields just for them to ask us to buy things at the end of the tour. We felt like they had shaked us down and force us to buy stuff from them. They all work together to scam foreigners and make us feel bad. The rice field was a WASTE of time and money due to the weather we couldn’t see anything because of the fog and ruined our shoes .. at the end of the tour we discovered there was a route that we could of taken that wouldn’t have ruined our shoes and was safe but our tour guide mai took us the more dangerous and dirty way so that she and her elders could shake us down for over priced souvenirs . We decided not to even go on a hike the last day because we felt like we were scammed by our tour guide and didn’t feel comfortable. Long story short: this tour is a scam for more money and not worth even half what we paid. I wouldn’t let my worst enemy go through the head ache I’ve been through these three days. Book at your own risk but I would NEVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. The people of Sapa are not friendly and you are only a buck to them. The entire time I’ve been here I’ve felt uneasy and haven’t met one decent person. It’s a money grab scam and the people running this TripAdvisor is super unprofessional for allowing me to purchase just to force me to be up charged to a “higher” star hotel and ride when the hotel and ride are TERRIBLE. Before you decide to go to Sapa READ AND RESEARCH CAREFULLY. I speak the language and continuously felt harassed and scammed for more money. Take my advice if you’re going to go and just book a car and a hotel and explore yourself. These “tour guides “ take you to their villages and make you feel bad and forced to buy things from their people and judge and are rude to you if you don’t. This tour was literally hell.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, Dawn Le We are so sorry for the experience You - 3 people made the booking at the midnight. We had contacted right away to inform that we would confirm if it was available at 6:00 - 6:30AM. We are so sorry that spring time is high season for Vietnamese tourists, at weekend and at last minute the tour got full quickly. In the early morning, we had informed you - exactly your brother (in Vietnamese) that the tour was full. Your brother asked us to check other option and agreed to pay extra. We arranged it for you - spleeper bus -> limousine bus + 3 star hotel -> Vista hotel (we even covered the extra for the room for you, at weekend the price for hotel accommodation is higher, especially in high season) The accommodtion at hotel is for 2 - 3 people. If you want 2 rooms, the third person will pay for the single supplement. It is the same at every hotels, cruises, you know. Best regards, Luong

Helpful guide!
Our guide Lu was very helpful. Fast paced trek but managed to cover a lot of different villages and sights. Food was good. We stayed in Sapa Vista hotel, food good but windows are not soundproof so a bit noisy. Bus is a sleeper bus, convenient hotel pickup.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review! It's nice that you liked the tour guide, trip, food and hotel. Hope you had good time in Sapa and in Vietnam in total.

Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel) cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel) take?
+
Plan for about 62 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 62-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 62-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sapa 3 Days Trekking Tour By Bus from Hanoi (2 Nights in Hotel) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
