Ha giang to Hanoi was not a problem. A bit late but thats nothing to worry about.
But I’m Hanoi I was the only one going to Ninh Binh. And the Worker from Daiichi wrote me that I will just switch the bus at the office. But there, after 30min waiting, they told me to jump on a bike for a 9km ride to the other bus. I refused because that’s more then 30min on a bike with my big bags and it also started raining. After that they organised me a Van to the other Van which drives to Ninh Binh. There, nobody spoke english and they wanted 200k at first, although i booked everything already on 12go. After a lot of discussion with a language barrier they put me in a van to Ninh binh and there I had to switch again to another van to my hotel. In conclusion, Ha giang to Hanoi was good. But everything after that was unorganised and stressful.
Even though the recliner did not work properly it was pretty comfortable. The WiFi was weak and the bus was a bit late, but overall very comfortable for a long journey.

El autobús no llega a las 6am si no a las 3:30am, tendrían que avisar para reservar alojamiento ya que a esa hora es muy difícil si no lo has hecho por adelantado.

El bus llegó tarde, no nos dejaron elegir los sitios que quisiéramos (los mejores los guardaban para los locales), todo el viaje los conductores pegando voces y tocando la bocina, pararon solo una vez en 9 horas y los baños daban auténtico asco, y además llegó de madrugada 1.30h antes de lo previsto lo cual provocó que tuviéramos que esperar en la calle más tiempo a que abriese la recepción del homestay.
Booking said direct bus from ha giang to ninh binh, we ended up taking 4 different buses instead. We weren’t informed about the fact that we had to transfer to another bus instead Hanoi at 5am until after the booking. In Hanoi someone first had to take us to the other bus station before we could get on the bus to Ninh binh. We arrived on time but the failed communication about the fact that we had to transfer several times was unfortunate.

Super nice! Buses were perfect, the company rearranged my journey to go from Ha giang to Tam coc, even if my first bus was so late!

We took the overnight Single Cabin VIP bus from Ha Giang to Ninh Binh. The sleeper bus from Ha Giang to Hanoi was very comfortable. However, at 4 AM when we arrived to Hanoi, we were sent to a shuttle bus which drove around Hanoi for 1 hour dropping people off until we were dropped at a bus station for a different limousine bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh. There was no information included in the booking about needing to transfer buses in the middle of the night, nor other communication made with us prior to the ride. I understand that there was a language barrier, but there was very little effort put in during the ride to inform us what was happening, so we spent multiple hours very confused about what was going on. We were mostly disappointed because we paid more than other options for a bus we thought we could sleep on for the whole night, yet we only got a couple hours of sleep.

I booked a bus from ha Giang to tam coc and needed to transfer to the second bus in Hanoi. When I arrived, they told me the second bus had left me and I'd need to wait for the next one, one hour later. Window blinds were also shared with the cabin Infront and behind, which made the trip uncomfortable, as the other people wanted the blinds fully shut the whole trip.
