Ninh Binh to Lao Cai Destination Reviews

3 rows of beds, quite narrow. Windows clear though so could look out if you wanted. Blanket and water, no pillow. Slope of bed adjustable and seat belt worked. Announcements in English as well as Vietnamese. Kept well to time.

The Pick up point in Tam Coc could not be reached by the bus and when asked for a pickup, they declined. The bus wasnt the one on the pictures but was not too bad. (Still not the same as advertised)

Pick up was over an hour late and we were waiting thinking we’d be left. We eventually got taken by car to the bus. Then the bus arrived almost 2 hours early!!! Leaving us stuck and a bit stranded in the rain. There was someone smoking on the bus, making the whole bus smell.
