Cao Bang to Hanoi Destination Reviews

BH

They'll get you there & the van is comfy. But be careful if you're on a deadline; Both trips, my pickup time was pushed back by an hour or so and arrived at the destination much later than what I booked. If you're flexible it's fine. Seems the drivers do the best they can with shambolic scheduling and traffic delays

There is nothing luxury about this service. It gets you where you need to go. The road to Cao Bang is winding, twisting, and narrow, so no matter what kind of transportation you take, its not a smooth ride.

9 passengers but only 4 luxury chairs. That's not fair for the 5 people who paid the same price as the 4 lucky persons. We had to sit in the back on a couch where it was not possible to adjust the backrest, and we had no armrest so just trying not to bump into the person next to you. I, 1,96m, sat behind a chair whose backrest could go down all the way so I had literally no legspace on a 6 hour ride. Driver drove like crazy on the curvy road. Would give 1 star but 2 stars because they picked us op at the hotel wich was kind.

The drive took way longer because the driver had so much staff on the transport to deliver else where and changed routes because of that. Also there was no space left for the backpacks of the people so they had them over them. Really uncomfortable drive with the „limousine“.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
