Comfortable with wide sleeping cabin and comfortable seat. Couldn’t adjust seat pitch as lever broken but had cushion. Would use this service again.

Driver didn't know a word of English, and did not understand our question with Google translate. He couldn't explain the drop off point.

Operator on Time, about 3h30 to go to Can tho agency instead of the airport. They propose us a taxi from the agency to go to the airport for 30.000 VND. Don’t worry, we stopped the bus few Times to depose people, it seems to be normal in Vietnam et we arrive on Time.

The journey itself was great. I wished the transfer between the shuttle bus and the actual bus at the bus station was organised better and finding the shuttle bus to hotels after arrival too. We were left to find out what we needed to go, while no one around spoke English.

We traveled from HCMC to Can Tho. The bus departed on time and arrived one hour earlier than scheduled. The driver was excellent—careful, responsible, and professional. The seats were very comfortable and spacious, and the air conditioning worked well throughout the entire trip. We stopped halfway for a bathroom break. We had to change our schedule because we couldn’t make the originally booked time, and the company staff were very helpful and moved us to a later bus without any issues. We were two young women traveling at night and felt very comfortable and safe during the entire journey. Excellent service—would definitely choose it again.

Thankfully I’d read some feedback from other tourists and understood that we were initially just picked up in a van from the bus shop front and would then get dropped at the bus station and have to wait a bit longer for our large sleeper bus to arrive for the rest of the trip. Found out also that the rego on our ticket confirmed the bus we needed to board. We got the gist that we were having a quick toilet stop in the way - thankfully at clean western style toilets :) The bus itself was very comfortable and clean - my partner is almost 6’ and found he was comfortable also. We will travel with them 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.
