    Heather

    Asked on October 25th, 2024

    Would you be able to tell me if bedding is either single/double/or queen size?

    Accommodation
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten October 2024

      Beds are typically available as a choice between double or twin beds (two single beds), and we will aim to meet the specific requirements based on availability.

    • H

      Heather

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Is this transit longer? Would a bus be quicker? Can they take the train back again from Da Neng to Hanoi?

    • H

      Heather

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Would my client need vaccine upon their arrival to Thailand and Vietnam? And do you handle visa going to Vietnam? My clients hold a Canadian Passport.

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten October 2024

      To clarify, if your clients are open to different transit options: 1. Hanoi to Sapa: They can take the overnight train, which takes about 9 hours, or opt for a day bus, which takes approximately 6 hours. The train offers a unique, more traditional travel experience, while the bus is quicker. 2. Returning to Hanoi for Departure: If your clients' international flight departs from Hanoi, they can return from Da Nang by overnight train (approximately 12 hours). Alternatively, we recommend flying from Da Nang to Hanoi for a faster, more comfortable option.
