The driver dropped us 10km from Trang An boat station and refused to drop us at the actual location. We had to catch a cab from there. The helpline was also not helpful as there eere no english speaking person.

The bus was not comfortable, didnt look like on photos, seats were poor quality. There was a transfer during the journey, which we were not informed about so we were later on the final place

It has very little space for luggage so you will be traveling with bags in the cabin

We arrived little more than an hour ahead of our 1PM departure time. They are a very busy service in a hectic location and they are organized. At 11:50AM I received a text that our departure will be delayed due to Hanoi's traffic causing the driver's late return to pick up. Within 4 minutes of that text, we were bumped up to the 12PM departure bus. The driver navigated the traffic safely. Bus is very comfortable, clean & the AC worked. I used the 12GO app. It's very user friendly. I recommend both 12GO and the Daiichi Travel for transport services.

At first, we wait more than 30 mins for the pick-up. Then we had to change limousine/bus three times during a two-hour trip from hanoi to minh binh 🤔

All good, except the part we need to change 3 vehicles during the journey. Purposely choose a direct one (as shown at 12 Go's), but it's not direct afterall.

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.
