Christopher DTrip was comfortable and easy. Seats had a wireless phone charger in the arm rest and even a massage feature! Driver was very professional and drove cautiously, navigating some quite damaged roads with care. The driver also dropped people off along the way so they were closest to their hotel. Would recommend!

Matthias The majority of the route between Dalat and Phan Thiet is currently under construction (it looks like a highway is buying built). Hence, most of the time there were no patched roads which meant that it was quite a bumpy ride). Furthermore, this lead to the trip taking almost one and a half hours longer than originally planned. After around two hours we had a 20 minute toilet break.
The bus itself was clean and relatively comfortable.

Olly SNegatives- We booked through GoEz and they outsourced us to An Phu so ended up paying more for the same bus. Photos showed a completely different style of bus instead of sleeper 31 we ended up with a sleeper 46.
Bus was old not well maintained and dirty.
Although not the bus companies fault the road conditions were awful and it made for an unpleasant journey
Positives- We got hotel drop offs rather than the advertised drop off which saved us 10km in a taxi.
The staff we’re friendly and helpful.

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.
