Hanoi to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

LS
The driver was an hour late, so waited 1,5h at a random street corner since they tell you to be there at least 30 min earlier. No phone number or anything to contact the company or driver, no information about the delay. Confusion when the driver came because there were more people coming for the following bus, but not all would fit. Multiple stops on the way to pick up more people. In Ninh Binh we all had to switch buses to get to Tam Coc and again confusion because everyone thought the driver want to drop us there.

We weren’t told it was a guide tour bus we got on and that resulted in us arriving an hour later and having to wait at a stop for 40 minutes because the tour had a stop there

We change cars 3 times without communications of the different drivers about it. No hello, no goodbye, no smiles, very though with luggages and they put them on the floor.
