- VilmaJ1130 contributionsAmazing service! Absolutely recommendedAmazing service and prompt response. Richard was really good at coordinating our drop and pickup. We were having a bit of issue with our online payment and he was very accommodating with other options of payment as well which really mattered to us considering that we were looking at an option to travel back to Hanoi last minute. There was no lack in the service provided whatsoever. The driver was amazing, and he knew all the routes. The car was very clean and well maintained. We reached Hanoi from Sapa in 4 hours 15mins as opposed to the original time that was shown to us on google maps which was 5hrs. There was absolutely no hassle in between. I would totally recommend this to anyone without the blink of an eye. Great service, even better cars and drivers and very much worth the price! Just go for it!Written October 16, 2024

Very professional driver and great vehicle. Nice guide, spoke English well and had interesting stories. Ceramic village tour showed 1 site. No ceramic class as described, but saw small display of how the ceramics are made. Underwhelming. Opportunity to purchase ceramics, but pricing is quite high. ($400 US quoted for 7 piece tea set)
Silk village was a disappointment. Saw small temple which was closed. Saw 1 open site with silk looms running for a few minutes. Nothing else in the village seemed open in a Saturday and both guide and driver seemed lost. No opportunity to see or purchase finished cloth or silk goods.
We were then taken for lunch at high rise shopping location in Hanoi west of west lake. Decent lunch included in tour price. US market prices in items we looked at available for sale.
For us, poor weather made the drive through countryside less compelling than it could have been. Having virtually every location in silk village closed was a bummer. Tour operator should have known.
Tour price ended up being quite steep relative to other opportunities in Vietnam, and overall felt more like an opportunity to shop at overpriced venues than a way to see how things are made.
