Ho Chi Minh City to Hue Destination Reviews

ST

I threw up all night because it was my first time traveling by bus for 17 hours. I apologize for any inconvenience. I'm so lucky to have chosen MP Bus from hundreds of bus companies. The staff were helpful, and we had a clean, comfortable journey. We even had a meal break. The biggest luxury for me was how quiet and comfortable the vehicle was, which I was very happy about. Thank you so much for everything. Everything exceeded my expectations. If you want to travel safely and comfortably in an unfamiliar country as a tourist, MP Bus should definitely be your first choice. ;)

Train

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Ho Chi Minh City and Hue, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
