The driver came at the right time . The information about the driver will only be communicated a few hours prior to the pickup time . The driver was super nice - he even stopped at a place for us to buy some bananas . The drive was very comfortable too.

The driver was quite rude and drove crazy. He went onto a slip road to overtake and swerved back onto the motorway, we did get to Hanoi in record time though.

The drop off point was 20kms away from our hotel. I wished they had told us ahead of time.

Drop off and pick up were both different than indicated in by the purchase. But they were both within a km or 2. Why can't you just fix it in the listing?

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 Ninh Binh and Hanoi, 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.
