Very great experience, the driver was careful, the cabins were very confortable and clean. I liked having received some messages from the owner to make sure everything was okay! No particular stop during our journey Ninh Binh- Hoi An, was perfect to sleep well and the wake up was careful with music.

The websiye and booking says pickup from tam coc harbour, however the actual pick up spot was around 200m down the road. Had we not called the bus company, we would’ve missed the bus, so be careful to ask them for the pick up location
