We had to switch buses in the rain in the middle of the ride.also,the bus stopped for a long time for unknown reason.
We got to our destination 1.5 hours late than stated.
I’ve been surprised when a mini bus (shuttle bus) picked us up with delay one and a half hours then in a few hours they dropped us to the 34 seater bus.
Long story short.
Very bad English or to say no English at all. The lady at the pick up place was unkind and not helpful at all.
The attitude was very rude and build impression that we owed them something.
IMPORTANT!!!
We got to destination in one piece)
The bus ride was on time and was pretty comfortable and well priced for what it was. Only complaint was that the bathroom onboard smelt really horrible but we sat towards to back of the bus so that may have made it worse.
The ride was actually operated by Camel Travel, not Techbus. Not sure if this is normal on this route or if Techbus had just a few bookings and transferred them or whatever. First time this happened to me in Vietnam. I tried to avoid Camel Travel because of all the bad reviews, but the trip was actually alright. The change of buses in Hue was a bit confusing because no one speaks English well enough to give you information. We also had people sitting in the aisles on both buses, before and after Hue, which was a bit weird. No major problems though. My main issue is that I could have booked directly with Camel Travel on vexere for 250k less and additionally was forced to buy the unnecessary insurance pack on 12go. I will never use this website again. What’s the point if you don’t know who’s actually gonna operate your trip and the prices are higher?
Although booked as T Bus journey wasn't with the company or bus shown. We received a WhatsApp message the day before advising bus would be Queen Cafe. We were sceptical as we had a poor experience previously with Queen Bus, however this bus was VIP sleeper and we had a good journey although arrived at 4am rather than 6am as advertised
Worst bus journey we’ve taken so far in Vietnam. The bus was oversold and we spent the first 2 hours on the ground despite paying the same price as everyone else. Bus was really old and the smell inside was awful. The pickup location given in the PDF was incorrect. Luckily the actual bus stop was only a few minutes walk. The bus was 1 hour late to pick us up too.
The bus was very late; the children on the bus were so loud. We had to get off the bus and switch to another, but we were not told about it. We had to wait another 40 minutes for the second bus. The driver of the second bus was dangerous.

The bus itself looked brand new, cabin was clean and modern. Bus arrived 30 mins late which wasn’t too bad. However, the driver speeds making every bump in the road and every turn throwing you side to side a guarantee to keep you up the entire time, I only managed to sleep about 15 minutes max. They also kept opening up the cabin curtain and then closing it. So, it’s a way to get you from A to B, but do not rely on getting any sleep.
The bus was late, and there was no way to charge a phone or wifi in the bus, but otherwise, the travel went well, we had a bathroom stop and they provided blanket and water 🙂
