We had to go to the middle of nowhere for a pickup and then stood in the city for over an hour right next to where our hotel was waiting for more people to come. It would be nice to jave an ability to pick a pickup point.

I booked online late at night for next morning. I received a confirmation early next morning and went to the travel agency 30’ before departure time. We left 15’ after the scheduled time, changed two times into mini vans and arrived a little later than the scheduled arrival time. All was good and organized.

The bus was on time and the staff was really nice. Only thing I didn't like was the stop at a shop for 20 minutes. In my opinion unnecessary

The most common bus types are non-air-conditioned, air-conditioned, and premium buses.
It is best to reserve your tickets at least a few days ahead of your travel date. Check our list of bus companies available for online booking offering Hanoi to Ninh Binh tickets. When traveling on weekends and holidays it is recommended to reserve tickets much earlier due to higher numbers of travelers, both vacation-makers and urban workers returning home to their provincial home.
