Found this company on 12Go app and was happy with the service . They communicated regularly on WhatsApp and confirmed pickup location so no confusion. Driver was on time , bus was clean and the driver even dropped as at our accommodation which was just little past the planned drop off point .

They rescheduled my bus 3 times after telling me I booked a sold out bus and then the driver made me feel like I inconvenienced them and it was my fault. He wouldn’t accommodate moving my bags to the back storage of the van, made me give up a seat because he said someone else paid for the seat I was sitting in. Overall it was not a good experience.

Everything as expected. You just have to wait outside opera house, no sign, no people there to ask, just wait. The driver was good, a few danger moves on the road and a lot of horn. Like the average in Hanoi. The van is very comfortable. He dropped me in the hotel.

Outstanding trip. 2 hours before departure I got a WhatsApp message to confirm the departure time and give me the vehicle color / license plate. Once we left, the driver was extremely professional and careful : no honking, no dangerous overtaking. The car was the most comfortable I've ever traveled in - reclining seats, lots of space, no music, USB plugs -. Finally, the driver even dropped each passenger to her/his hotel instead of leaving us at the dropping point, saving most of us a long walk in the dark.

Everything was fine except that we were placed in the 3 rear seats ... the ones where we were the most shaken up ... even though we were the first ones there ...

The tour operator was ahead of time and came to the exact mentioned spot. He even searched for the other travellers when they had not arrived. The journey was quite comfortable and one bottle of complimentary water was provided. Plus the van was clean.

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.
