Hanoi to Tam Coc Destination Reviews

Company has the worst communication. Limousine bus was 1h late and an organisational mess. Won’t reply to whatsapp and when they do, 1 word answers. I asked for drop off cost never agreed then driver stops 30 mins into journey demanding a random payment from me with broken translation. Book with another company

The driver was using a cellphone while driving and was watching videos but I was reached to by the company and was assured the that disciplinary measures were taken and was offered help resolving the issue which made the situation better

The driver got into an argument with another driver in the middle of Hanoi and stepped out, threatening him with a screwdriver. Nothing else happened, but it was a huge scare for everyone on the bus.

Overall, the trip was great. The limousine was clean and almost new. The idea of picking up and dropping off in the place each passenger stays is amazing. But the driver rode too fast in Tam Coc. It is not the place to ride fast, was unnecessary and generate peril to the other people who was cycling or walking.

Bus was very crowded with people’s luggage and the air conditioning didn’t work well.

There was a bit of uncertainty of the 3 changes of transport to get to Ninh Binh but the over all journey was pretty swift. Be good to have the driver’s photo name and registration when meeting at the airport like Grab drivers do as I was almost convinced a random taxi driver who approached me was my driver but my actual driver kept in touch by WhatsApp until I found him. But what was fantastic was I lost my credit card wallet with everything important in the second vehicle. When I realise that evening at the same time I got a message from the driver with photos of the contents telling me not to worry my cards were safe and could I pick them up the next day. The driver Cuong Cool was the nicest guy and when I collected my wallet he wouldn’t take a reward’

The staff at Daichii was very accomodative supportive, even with a language barrier she made the process very smooth and easy for us.

We left 20min after the time of departure so we arrived late at our destination. Otherwise, the bus is really comfortable.

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.
