Ninh Binh to Quang Ninh Destination Reviews

The bus was stuffy and smelly and the driver was a bit erratic.

Was disappointed with WhatsApp message regarding pickup point and time. We had just sat down to enjoy our breakfast and I had received a message saying pickup in few minutes go to main road. We left our breakfast on the table as did not want to miss our bus. We walked to main road and waited here for 45 minutes until bus eventually turned up. We were very hungry at this time and upset. We were only 100m from our hotel. Frustrating to leave our breakfast at the table and having to wait longer then we were led to believe. It's a shame bad communication from driver otherwise would have been a pleasant trip.

We arrived 45-60 mins later than we should and therefore almost missed the excursion we had planned in HaLong. The driver spent a lot of time picking people up in lots of different locations and dropping people off + moving us to another vehicle with other confused passengers and everyone going to different locations

The first bus was fine, but then shortly before our arrival we had to change bus and from there on it just went downhill. the driver drove past our stop even though we communicated to the driver on the first bus where we were staying. One would assume that the drivers would communicate about that. He then proceeded to try and somewhat kick us out somewhere which we refused, we proceeded to tell him our designated location and he said okay. After that we drove to the harbour where all of the cruise ships start. Where again he wanted to kick us off the bus, we told him that this is not where we are staying and it is so much further away from our hotel then when we originally changed buses. He barely even looked at us and just said stop here, stop here. We told him no and even translated it into Vietnamese so we could communicate but he wouldn’t even look at the message. After he took our bags out of the van we didn’t really have another choice than to get an extra taxi to our hotel. Pleasant experience until we had to change buses. Lack of communication and patience.

Really good service to do Tam Coc to Tuan Chau (to take a cruise in Halong Bay). The limousine arrived more o less on time. Really good in Tuan Chau, the driver leaves you in front of your Cruise.

The back seats in the van are not as comfortable as the others, with little room to stretch your legs and a backrest position shared with the other people in the back row. Also, the voucher announces 4 hours to destination and in reality it took nearly 5 hours and almost made us miss our cruise. Finally, the driver didn't seem to understand what our final destination was despite it being clearly written in the voucher

We've been traveling in Vietnam for four weeks, but we've never encountered such a fast and reckless driver. He picked up someone for cash and then sat them in the gap between the seats with a plastic chair because all the seats were full. And then he dropped us off 20 minutes from our booked destination, claiming that was the stop. After consulting with management, they paid us a Grab to the stop.

Therefore only 2 stars deduction!

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.
