No seat belts in the back of the limousine seats didn’t feel safe on a long 3.5 hour drive.

Pick up was late. Driving was erratic and he must have stopped at least 10 times to pick up packages from someone on the side of the road before dropping them somewhere else. Driver tried leaving us 3km from the scheduled drop off point. We argued with him so he organised another driver from the same company to take us but we had to wait for him to cut his fingernails in the drivers seat before we proceeded with the journey.

The bus was too crowded so we had to sit in the front next to the driver. There was no seatbelt and it wasn’t comfortable at all.

The Van was too full. My girlfriend and me had to sit in the front next to the driver. We had no space at all and my legs were hurting after the trip. All the other passengers had the VIP seats that we also have paid for. Overall a very disapointing experience.

Driver was speeding like hell (Ha Long to Ninh Binh). Felt unsafe. Please take some responsibility for your passengers!! Bus also stoped at random several times to pick up and deliver parcels. There also were communication problems with the company according to the drop off point.

The bus came 1h later, the communication in the meantime was very inconsistent. We booked a minibus but ended up in a much bigger bus which was not as comfortable or clean as advertised in the pictures. We also got moved halfway through the trip in another bus which was even dirtier and more crowded. It was a disappointing experience.

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.
