A must do experience - 4.5 out of 5 - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. With limited time available this tour ticked most of the boxes for us. Hotel pickup from Hanoi, then transferred to a sleeper bus (recommend) before a 6hr drive to Sapa. We were greeted in Sapa and shown to our 3 star hotel (which is very pleasant). The food at the hotel was nice and plentiful. Our tour of Cat Cat was very informative and interesting, make sure you take cash with you. Our guide was very helpful. Free time after dinner to explore Sapa - great night vibe, lots of shops and bars open. Felt very safe. Next day we took the cable up to Mount Fansipan, the weather was perfect for us but can often be a white-out. We chose the 600 step option to the top but a small train does climb the last bit of needed $$$. The views were amazing. Back in Sapa the sleeper bus takes you back to Hanoi, arriving about8:30pm (long day). You have to get your way back to your hotel at the end of the tour. Loved the whole experience

Memorable trip of North Vietnam - GADT travels are experts of travel planning and gave me exactly what I was looking for. They provided an end to end plan for the whole trip. Very pleased with their services. Alice and Jodie were my contact points for the trip and they were very responsive and supported with everything needed.

A Trip We’ll Always Remember - Vietnam is such a beautiful place for a vacation, full of amazing scenic views everywhere you go. The mountains, the clean blue seas, and the kindness of the people made the experience even more special. We were able to enjoy everything so smoothly only because of our trip agent, Carl Nguyen, who planned the entire trip perfectly. Thanks to him, we could truly relax and enjoy every moment. A huge thanks to him for making our trip so memorable.

HANOI - SAPA (the best two day trip) - Bus ride of 6 hours from Hanoi to sapa might seem too long but the scenery is too good that will make the ride seem shorter. Thanks to Gadttravel who organised this two day trip to Sapa. We first went to cat cat village(highly recommend you to rent their dress and take pictures) the village is too beautiful with a waterfall running down the middle. We stayed at the View hotel, the view is pretty good from the hotel you can wake up to the scene of clouds hitting the mountain while the sunlight peeking through the clouds.( would recommend as it’s just 15 min from the city’s centre). The next day we went to the fansipan summit(go as early as possible so you can beat the crowd) we even witnessed the flag hoisting ceremony (trekking is the best way up there so if you’re healthy enough I’d recommend you to trek till the summit after a short ride of train and a cable car). We checked out later that day and reached Hanoi at 10pm . This was the trip itinerary that we chose for us. You can ask the same too if you want to experience more in a short time. I’d like to thank clover and Gadttravel again for making this trip a memorable one of me and my sister. She organised it very well and we didn’t wait anywhere even a minute longer everything was perfect. I’d highly suggest you choose her services and make your trip an memorable one aswell.

Timeless Vietnam with fantastic gadt travels - Alice from GADT travels, arranged our entire Vietnam tour. From preparing the iteniary to executing to making sure our every smallest needs was taken care. She perfectly planned everything. During the entire trip,everyday she checked on every small detail. She proactively checked us in for our local flights, made sure driver was there to receive us.. we been strict vegetarians, she made sure indian vegetarian food was arranged and where ever not possible, we had pure authentic vegetarian Vietnamese meal. Our Vietnam trip become so memorable because of her. We celebrated our milestone anniversary in halong bay and alice made sure it was the most memorable one. I would highly recommend gadt travel and deal with alice. She was simply amazing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars

Great tour but standards of hygiene on the Sleeper bus need improvement. - We booked this trip to see Sapa, we were picked up at our hotel in Hanoi and transferred onto sleeper bus for the 6 hour drive. The sleeper bus was not clean, I was shocked that the dirt of the bed surrounding and even the windows, which made the journey uncomfortable. The 2 stops on route to Sapa are at locations where they don’t have toilet roll, so come prepared! Once we arrived in Sapa our lunch was ready at a local restaurant, this lunch is included on both days in the same restaurant, which is not a problem, however they serve the same lunch on both days so we had to buy something ourselves on the second day. The time spent in Sapa was very good, our guides were helpful and worked hard with our group to ensure everyone was getting to see and do the things they wanted. We chose to stay at the hotel, which was lovely and comfortable. We had a different guide for Fansipan who was also very helpful and worked hard for our group. Overall our time in Sapa was very good .A lot of improvement needed on the transport company.

Bad experience before even starting the trip. - The sleeper seat that I was assigned in the bus from Hanoi to Sapa was at the far end of the bus in corner (E1) in lower berth. There was about 10 inches of space between my body and the ceiling, which was like being in a MRI machine. I am claustrophobic and cannot be in that position for six hours trip. I had to stop the bus and get off on the highway because there wasn’t another seat available in the front. It is a long story what happened after the driver dropped me off the bus but overall it was a bad experience before I even started the trip. The tour operator should have indicated on the website about possible assignment of the seat in the back that could be issue to somebody. I would never have booked, had I known about this possibility or I would have requested not to be assigned that seat. My advise to those who want to do this excursion is to check with operator to make sure you don’t get assigned those back seats if you are claustrophobic or you have no idea how it feels like being trapped in that position.
