Noi Bai Airport to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

KM

Our experience was not good. We arrived at Hanoi airport. Our car was booked for half past one. However, when we had landed (about 1:15ish), the customer service person messaged us and asked if we were ready. However, our flight was slightly delayed by about 10 minutes. And then the operator kept telling us to hurry up and was moaning at us to say we did not let them know our flight was delayed. Firstly, we provided our flight number when we booked travel, so our flight could have easily been tracked and secondanly, we were in the air, we werent to know that we were going to land late. Also, technically we actually booked the car from 1:30, So technically we were only about 5 minutes late maximum. However, when we got outside after being rushed, the driver was not even at the agreed pick up point. Then we we were dropped to the office to wait for the second driver to continue our journey. So we waited and then we got into a limousine , which was fine and but it was full and we weren't able to recline our chairs all the way back , because we had to sit at the very back. That journey was okay, but then halfway through we stopped at basically the side of the road and was rushed off that limousine bus to go onto another bus, which was not in very good condition.It was dirty, there was no recliner.The door was struggling to close. We were not aware that we would have to be in three different vehicles. We knew that we would change at the office but didnt know about the third time. Next time, we will just pay for a premium grab as that was a similar price.

Unfortunately, we had a very poor experience. For a journey of only three hours, we had to change cars twice, which was very inconvenient. In addition, the driver spent a lot of time using his phone while driving, which made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. The car was also overcrowded, and we barely had enough space to sit comfortably. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and we would not recommend this service.

Technically it is not 3 hours from the hanoi aiport to nimh binh. Yet it was 3 hours (despite a lot traffic jams, but thanks to brave driving) from Hannoi center to Nimh Binh. Driver takes you from the airport to hanoi center, where you would wait ~30min for the transfer.

The pick up at the airport was great however we were then driven to 2 different locations before leaving for to Ninh Binh. In total we were in 4 different vehicles before getting to our destination.

This is not a direct shuttle. It stops 3 tips and you have to change busses 2 times. They don’t speak English

It was good service overall. Good car with enough space. A bottled water was given. However once I booked it I was immediately contacted by 3 different people on Whatsp and asked me to do it travel before the booked time. Then a car came and picked me up and dropped off in Hà Nội. The office staff in Hà Nội did not speak a word of English and I waited there for a while and then another van picked me up. This then dropped me somewhere in Ninh Binh which I thought was the end point do I booked a Grab taxi. But the bus then went to another location which was closer to my hotel but I wasn’t told of this. Overall they are good but there is lack of communication which creates a lot of confusion

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.
