Good questions about this tour
Why is the train version $50 more than the bus version of this homestay tour?
The $50 difference is purely the upgrade from sleeping bus to overnight train, which is significantly more comfortable. It's worth it if you're particular about transport. If you're a hardcore backpacker on a tight budget, our bus version covers the same homestay experience for less.
