VicSapa Train Booking
I just booked a VIP cabin on Vicsapa train from Hanoi to Lao Cai in October directly through the Vicsapatrain.com site, and found the experience a bit weird, so I'm hoping someone here who has done the same can confirm validity. The url took me to a bootstrap site, where I selected my cabin and departure date. It offered some add-on transfer options (van or private car to Sapa, airport transfer, etc.) Then I went straight to the pay options. There was no departure time selection, and no confirmation email. The website information looks like this is to be expected, but I'm a bit worried I was on a bad site. I chose to book with Vicsapa directly because they were only showing as having single berth options on 12Go, and I wanted a large bed instead of the narrow single berths.
Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, was it legit, or should I be looking at making changes (and better decisions overall, haha).
