Hanoi to Thanh Hoa Destination Reviews

The pick-up was fine even though we had to transfer because the original vehicle had a flat tire. The issue was the driver of the limousine. The roads were wet and he took way too many risks constantly passing the vehicles in front of us, on solid lines, on bridges. An on-coming truck swerved to miss us. Very nerve racking.

Great service, super prompt and very comfortable. Peaceful Journey was really great at communicating prior to and during travel. We booked our connection pretty late the night before for an early start and their staff contacted us within a few minutes to confirm drop off and pick up points! Great service overall, highly recommended.

Pickup was perfect. About drop out, i wish the driver would have let me in front of my hotel which was right on our way, rather than 800m further. He should have ask before.

The website is very easy to use, book, and I received confirmation via email quickly. Hotel pickup in a small car, which then took us to a small bus (limousine), which then took a circuitous route, stopping 5-10 times for various pickups/drop-offs. As we were the last to arrive, the limousine bus was already full, so we sat in the very back with no seatbelts and on top of the bouncy rear axle. Later, when we got closer to Pu Luong, we were dropped off again, and anothet small car picked us up. Duration of trip was longer than expected as a result, but still about 5 hours. It's a good option, in a pinch, but a private car would have only cost $10 USD more than what I payed and immeasurably more comfortable and direct.

The driver was driving really fast and dangerously. We almost had an accident (the van was about to fall over after a very abrupt turn) and even though we told the driver to slow down he didn’t listen. Everyone in the car was stressed and felt unsafe! Such a poor service! And last but not least, the seatbelts were broken so it was the perfect mix to feel unsecure. I will not travel with Daichi ever again!!!!

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.
