- Default Car: 4 seats, price per car (hotel pick-up and drop-off)
- About 400 km, 7 – 8 hours door to door
- Leave Sapa at any time you choose and stop wherever you like
- Drop-off at your hotel in Ninh Binh City or Tam Coc
The Sapa – Ninh Binh leg is one of the longest in northern Vietnam, and a private car is the easiest way to do it. There is no bus office to find and no change of vehicle: the driver collects you at your Sapa hotel, drives you through the mountains and down the expressway, and drops you at the door of your accommodation in Ninh Binh. You set the departure time, and you can ask the driver to stop for photos, a meal or a rest at any point along the way.
