I took a day bus from Ha Giang to Ninh Binh. Bus was supposed to arrive at 19:30h. At the end I arrived 22:00h with several transfers (4 different buses and taxis).
Operator gives you the instructions you need but doesn’t keep you updated actively.
Ha giang to Hanoi was not a problem. A bit late but thats nothing to worry about.
But I’m Hanoi I was the only one going to Ninh Binh. And the Worker from Daiichi wrote me that I will just switch the bus at the office. But there, after 30min waiting, they told me to jump on a bike for a 9km ride to the other bus. I refused because that’s more then 30min on a bike with my big bags and it also started raining. After that they organised me a Van to the other Van which drives to Ninh Binh. There, nobody spoke english and they wanted 200k at first, although i booked everything already on 12go. After a lot of discussion with a language barrier they put me in a van to Ninh binh and there I had to switch again to another van to my hotel. In conclusion, Ha giang to Hanoi was good. But everything after that was unorganised and stressful.
I booked a bus from ha Giang to tam coc and needed to transfer to the second bus in Hanoi. When I arrived, they told me the second bus had left me and I'd need to wait for the next one, one hour later. Window blinds were also shared with the cabin Infront and behind, which made the trip uncomfortable, as the other people wanted the blinds fully shut the whole trip.
driver was in the bus with a burning cigarette, the office o G8 in hoi an is using your whatsapp number to spam about dress fitting stores and to not trust receptions. Bus ride itself was fine

We could easily arrange pick up near our homestay. Even an employee showed up to check if everything worked well. Sleeping bus is not for tall people but comfortable and comfortable to travel.

It was super uncomfortable. We had the last cabins and they were small and it did not work properly to flat the seat.
On the other hand, we forgot a bag at the pick up and they managed to get it before leaving ha Giang. If it was not for that it would be 1 star only.
It also stop A LOT in the middle of the road with no reason.
Aggressive operators, got out every 15 minutes to smoke. Got to the destination 1h30 later than we were supposed to. Did not even drop us at the right place at 4h30 am.
