I cancelled while I still had refund option but never got a refund. I booked via 12Go Asia. So I lost 18 Euro for nothing.

picked up on time but sat in their office for an hour waiting on other riders - would've went with another service if I had known it had so much down time and swapped cars 3 times

No information of the driver given, operator contact was useless, no answers of call/messages. Driver was late, and we had to change to 3 different car for supposedly a 2hr journey, it became 3.5 to 4hr plus journey. Will never book this ride again.

We ended up in more of a bus than a van but it was even more spacious and had so much room. It went exactly on time and got us to Tam Coc a little bit later than expected but not by much. Would highly recommend.

We took three buses in total. The first was a shuttle that picked up other passengers from the Old Quarter, so an hour had already passed by the time we got on the actual bus. The second bus was full, so we had to sit at the front. After 1.5 hours, we had to transfer to a third bus near Ninh Binh. We had to take all our luggage with us every time we changed buses so it was not very convenient. On the last bus, the last row had almost no legroom because of the seats that are supposed to be comfortable in front was reclined too far back.
