Hue to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

Well organized and clean bus.

After guests have disembarked and new ones arrive, the old blankets and pillows will continue to be used. Not very welcoming. After a hour's drive, you take a break for half an hour and then you continue for seven hours without a break. The driver whistles while trying to sleep and stops briefly to smoke and throw his empty plastic bottles into nature.

The bus itself was comfy and clean, but it was 1.5 hours late to the bus station. The drivers also proceeded to talk/shout so loudly during the journey which made it impossible to sleep for the first few hours which was frustrating.

The bus is comfortable, yes, but the curtain doesn't go all the way to the end. The central aisle of the bus was lit up all night ! The driver didn't stop; he drove for nine hours straight. That's dangerous! And we arrived an hour and fifteen minutes early...

Great experience overall. Somehow we arrived 50 minutes later. It was rainining at some point, so maybe this was the reason for the delay. This has been communicated to us as a possibility and luckily it has not affected our plans. I would use it again
