Hanoi to Quang Ninh Destination Reviews

The bus experience was very bad. The driver was unpleasant and dismissive towards us. He offered to drop off the locals at their hotel but refused to listen to us when we spoke to him. He even took our suitcases off the bus without our consent or any warning. The only positive aspect was the other local travelers who tried to help us. I absolutely do not recommend this driver.

On Time, we received messages on Whatsapp to tells us all the informations we needed like the pick up point and the schedule. So all good, just one thing is that in Hanoi the street ares small so you have to be really on time to take the bus because it just drop you and go. Also for this travel, they drop people off one by one at their cruise agency, so no need to walk, that's great! Bottle of water provided on this trip and a stop where you can do shopping.

I was given the wrong location for pickup even though I emailed the night before, I was then transferred to 4 different cars. Great they got me there in the end, there was also no communication of what was happening just kept getting told to get into the next one and hope I was going to the right place.

Not pleased with this service as operator didn’t share pick up info to driver ( along arrangements made 2 months earlier) Plus I paid to a VIP van 11 and ended up travelling in a Bus. Bus was comfortable and clean though.

Bus arrived 1 hour late for the pick up and no one was in the office of the pick up point. Also, no team member nor the support reacted to my messages about the status and situation. The driver took longer breaks as indicated and communicated. Thus, we arrived 1.5 hours later than planned.

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.
