When I purchased the tickets it indicated the bus leg to TamCoc was a sleeper bus. It was not. The driver to TamCoc was terrible. I am very used to Vietnamese driving. This man was the worst. We then transferred to a minibus to take us to our hotel. This driver dropped us off about 100M and pointed down the road to our hotel. We had 3 heavy suitcases and 2 backpacks. I thought maybe vehicles weren’t permitted until 2 other vans drove straight through to drop people off. Very poor service

The staff at the office and the worker in the bus (not driver) were all really nice and the bus was comfortable, but the driver was driving recklessly and honking loudly and excessively at everyone the whole ride and shouted at people on the street. Total road rage. He drove too fast, overtook everyone on the road and kept having to brake the bus very hard. Did not feel safe in the bus which is the whole point of paying someone to transport you from A to B
