The toilet smelled horrible and the door of the toilet would not close properly, contributing to the smell. Bus arrived 2 hours ahead of schedule, but the roughness of the drive was a clear indicator as to why this was the case.

Unsuitable for international tourists. I was concerned about my safety and, from the point I booked, unsure if and how the journey was going to go ahead as no one would get in touch with me or communicate in a language other than Vietnamese.

Not great ride. The car beeped from the outset. On a 6 hour ride 4 hours of beeping from the car, then with 2 hours to go a different but even louder beep started and wouldn’t stop…. 5 loud beeps every 6 seconds. May not have annoyed some people, but drove me insane. Driver did apologise.

Our driver was on time, courteous and a safe driver. We were an hour or so late arriving in Ho Chi Minh City but that was due to the Tet holiday traffic.
