Well organised and great Guide..... Overnight train was an experience and glad I paid the extra money for the VIP cabin. Unfortunately when we arrived at the hotel there was... read more no room available for us which was a bit disappointing as we had been on the train all night without a shower. But overall a great trip

  When we travel we usually do it all ourselves. When I started to plan I noticed that John from Sapa Sunshine was very generous on the Vietnam forum on... read more TA answering questions and giving suggestions to I contacted him about our trip. I told him when we were coming, generally what our interests were, our physical limitations (nothing serious, just some wonky old age stuff) and said we wanted to see as much of Vietnam as we could.
John came back with an itinerary that was more thorough and interesting than anything we could have done ourselves. We saw Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Nam Dinh, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Min City. We were always met at the airport/train station by a guide and checked into our hotel. Our guides, set up by John, were excellent. We were checked in to our hotels and never for a moment did we wonder if our guide or driver would show up when expected. They were always on time.
We travelled 3* hotel and all of them were wonderful. (arranged by SST). All were easily accessible to town and in most cases in town. Our reservations were always correct and although we did live out of suitcases travel was eays.
I honestly cannot say enough good about Sapa Sunshine Travel and John. When we left a piece of equipment in a vehicle in one city he managed to get it delivered to us before we left the country. We thought it was gone.
We had a few questions and slight changes to make while we were travelling and a quick email to John had things arranged for us (we got a day hotel room in Hanoi after the night on the train, before we headed to the airport).
If you are going to Vietnam, talk to John at Sapa Sunshine Travel. Your trip will be better arranged than you can imagine - your personal interests will be covered (we did lots of food tours), and the price will be reasonable - worth every penny.

  Thanks to Lucy and John for helping out with our trip. They were very flexible and helped us with our last minute confirmations. All the services were without any problems... read more and run according to the agreed details. Mrs Ngo was wonderful and delivered a great experience in Mekong Delta! The same for Ms La in Sapa. We took 2-day trek with a homestay. Mrs Soi let us feel like at home. At the end of our holiday, we decided to relax on the cruise to Halong bay. The recommended ORiental sail was just great! We got a lot for what we paid. We can recommend this company to everybody. Thank you once again. Radka & Daniela & Betka

  Nice place to eat, the restaurant is located on open balcony/terrace a nové the street. Food was very good - especially sprint rolls with sweet&your sauce. Very reasonable prices (noodles... read more about 55Kvdn, beer 30Kvdn).

  We had a great service from John at Sunshine Sapa Travel. Everything was organised and our trip to Sapa ran like clockwork. John even took us to our cabin on... read more the train. Our guide in Sapa was awesome - really made the trip for us.

  good weather and nice view of rice field ladder which you can enjoying walking along the village all day. you have to be there

  I usually research things myself and have a DIY trip. This time, I found Sapa Sunshine Tours here on Trip Advisor and let them handle it all for me. I... read more told them how many days I had and they gave me practical advice for the type of trip I wanted - if I had done it my way, I would have been exhausted! John organised a 2 day 1 night trip in the Palace boat on Halong Bay - it was beautiful and the food was fantastic. I personally don't like group activity and it was easy enough to disengage from that. He also organised the train and all associated collections, with a personal tour around Sapa. Sara was a definite highlight for me. I had a great time, and appreciated the fine coordination and tailored management of my requests. For all of the above including transport to and from these places it was US$310. Why would I even bother doing it myself?

  We are a family with two kids ( 10 years old twins) and decided to explore Vietnam a little bit. Since we prefer to visit more places and to see... read more mainly country side, people and their habits we planned for visit of Mekong delta, Saigon, Dalat and its surrounding, Hanoi and of course Ha Long Bay. For local arrangement we made a deal with Sapa Sunshine Travel. Our experience with them was amazing - just to summarize in one word. Their drivers were always on time at agreed place, their guides were fluent in English, knowledgeable, decent and helpful. We got so much of additional info thanks to them. Whole arrangement was done in very professional way, respecting our needs.
We did such trips before to other countries so we can really compare. Sapa Sunshine did great job and we can only recommend their services.

  The agency was amazing. John (the manager) was really patient answering all our many Qs about Sapa, and Thuy was our wonderful local Sapa guide. I cannot recommend these guys... read more highly enough. They are safe, reliable, patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was travelling with two other ladies, and we felt well looked after & safe every step of the way. If you're looking for an excellent & knowledgeable tour guide in Vietnam - look no further. This is it!

  We spent 3 days exploring beauty of Sapa in November.
Sapa is a lovely and fascinating place to visit. We had an amazing time on our Sapa trek... read more with a great local guide. Fansipan Mountain, Love Waterfall, homestay, trekking, terraced rice fields, the breathtaking view are totally worth seeing.
We booked our trip with Sapa Sunshine Travel. Thanks Sapa Sunshine Travel team for a great trip! If you are planning to go Sapa, I highly recommend them.
