WARNING! Do not book with them. They double booked the whole bus so we needed to share bed but we paid for 2 beds! Got no refund! We were at the pick up point in time but the bus wasn’t there, took 20 minutes to find the bus and it was far away from the pick up place.

I booked a bus from Old Quarter and received a ticket for stop 25km away. I called the number and the lady gave me a time for the old quarter pick up which was incorrect so we ended up missing our 12pm bus. She put us on the 4pm bus but refused any compensation for the delay we faced and said it’s my fault because I wanted to change my pick up location. She was nice enough and not rude - kindly take this ans feedback to improve. And the bus itself took 7.5 hours not 5 as mentioned ( I believe it’s the standard time but it was misleading information posted on 12go). Bus was comfortable and clean though and drivers accommodated stopping where we requested which was helpful as we arrived so late,

The vehicle was very comfortable and had everything you need. Highly recommend. What made the tour bad was the service staff. Unfriendly when we loaded our baggage. Was rude to us during the trip and behaved like a commander. When we asked for a second blanket he denied even though there were enough for everybody.

We arrived at the pick up point with plenty of time to spare. After a while we were squashed into an old car, which already had two passengers in and driven to another bus pick up point. We were then put on a bus from a different bus company than we had purchased. The bus was not very nice and not what we had booked. We went for the top luxury option and there was nothing luxury about the bus we were put on. I have complained to 12go but they are still looking into it 10 days later!

They said the bus broke down, so instead of 9 I left at 11:30.. The same time the other one would go, we were with for 4 people. I guess they canceled it the 9 am one, if they told me earlier I could have stayed in the hotel. Also commutation how long the bus stop, wasn't there

Great communication via Whatsapp before the trip. Safe driving along the route with multiple rest stops. Took us all the way to our hotel in central Ha Giang. We did leave about 30 minutes late, but that was not a major issue for us.

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.
