Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

I cannot recommend enough this entire journey was smooth the the buss drivers taking care off everything at the boarder. The buss was comfy and we were given snacks and water

Staff were friendly, very streamlined border crossing, busses well maintained. BUT the seats comes with a fixed headrest that's cutting into your shoulders if you're 180. That makes the seats quite uncomfortable for most Europeans. If there was a way to remove/flip the headrest back over the seats it would be an amazing win. As a straight seat would be miles better.

Great service from start to finish staff onboard the bus serving refreshments. Also guided us through the visa process between Cambodia and Vietnam. We have used this company a couple of times now and can honestly say their service is second to none.

Staff were friendly and helpful at boarder crossing. Not the most comfortable journey as still on a mini bus but got free water and stopped a couple of times for the toilet.

- bus driver honks constantly, so bring good earplugs, - and try to reserve seats closer to the back, but not the very back as then your sleeping beside folks with no barrier. - small water provided. - bus driver and helper didn't speak English, - but thankfully I decided to get off on the second break as there was free dinner (rice with 2 choices of meat or vegetable dish in a no-frills company canteen). -Smooth processing at border. - yes, they will take your passport and e-VISA if applicable (they printed it out for me before departure). probably could keep a closer eye on them as I just saw mine sitting in a basket by the bus entry/door but I guess no one on the bus would steal it(?) - bus driver and his helper are efficient and friendly. - no wearing shoes on the bus, they give you garbage bag to hold them instead and sandals if you wish.

Really smooth trip. We got to HCMC around 2:30pm instead of our projected time of 1:00pm, but experienced zero issues. The driver was professional and the bus assistant was very helpful gathering our passports to ensure a quick trip through border control. AC was blasting cold air throughout the trip and we were very comfortable. We had low expectations due to other reviews we saw, but liked the early 6 am departure time and great price value. We were very impressed with the service and would choose this route again.

The driver was horrible. He always been drive on the left side and he just drove over small hills on the street and then one of our wheels was totally broken. I've never been so afraid of driving with a mini van.

Laughable. Bus is labelled as VIP but chairs were broken, vents broken, customer service not great. We got there safely and that's the only good thing I can say about this service. Choose someone else
