Hue to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

Smooth ride. Not for people who are on the larger size though. For me it was quite comfortable still. Airco on board, and curtains. They are barely able to communicate in English but that’s not a big problem. I was able to get along with them well through Google Translate. Though they are relatively strick and very commanding people. Still kind though. Would be good if they’re at least able to communicate for how long exactly the bus is stopping for. Sometimes it’s for a quick toilet break for 5 minutes, or even 45 minutes without them telling you anything.

1,5 hour late. Driver played loud techno music and talked very loudly all the time. Impossible to sleep for 16 hour ride. A lot of bugs in my bed.

This was a very difficult ride. There was confusion with regard to bus transfers, an angry driver, another bus transfer. Not all sleeper rides are bad, but just remember you get what you paid for.😅

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

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 Hue and Ho Chi Minh City, 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.
