Hanoi to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

CW
Booking conditions state 25kg of luggage per person, we took this bus and the luggage was stacked in the gangway higher than my head. If I come to Vietnam and use public transport, as I often do, I travel as locals are used to travelling. If I pay luxury limousine I should not be thinking how will we get out in an emergency, or supporting the luggage with one hand.

We arrived 30 minutes early to the check in point, as mentioned on the reservation. 45 minutes after scheduled arrival time the bus finally arrived. We had proactively written the agency and they were helpful. We got picked up in a beat up vw bus and wordlessly got driven to the right location. The bus ride itself was good, but the waiting with no communication was not great.

Pretty used car, but ok. The only thing was picking up people on the road which makes it 1hour longer trip. Also got stopped by police for about 20min. Overal it was ok 👍

the driver doesnt speak english, nobody for the company did. Also he tried to scam us to pay extra money for get a ride to our hotel. More expensive than just taking a grab. Also the destination is 15 mins away from the one stated on the ticket (nin bihn office). Nin bihn office was a 4 min walk to our hostel but we ended up having to take a grab there anyways.

Car was okay, journey was nice and driver made a stop for us too - they were running late which is understandable - as they collect several people from their hotels- we thought collection was from 1 location but were pleasantly surprised to learn they would collect us from our hotel - we waited maybe 20 mins over the expected time but the staff from the office came down on their bike to reassure us which was lovely.
