Hanoi to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

Noah E

Comfortable bus, arrived early and there wasn't any pressure feeling rushed. The bus was clean and spacious. No assigned seating so arrive early if you're a couple or family. It would be 5 stars but they did an unnecessary stop 15 minutes from the destination at one of the local arts stores/rest areas. This is very common as the driver receives a kickback. But never the less, a forced "please buy something" stop.

Front middle seat with zero leg room. Simple seat belt (no three point), with a broken clip. I tied it into a knot for basic safety. 20 mins late without comms saying so (we had a WhatsApp chat)

We reserved for 2pm but we received a message saying they would pick us up at 12pm but when we arrived they said that we needed to wait until 2pm. Eventually we left a 1pm but we ended up waiting in the agency for 1hour instead of visiting hanoi, we asked for a discount but nothing.

3 changes of vehicle for the 2hr journey. The main part of the trip I had to sit in the middle of the bench seat at the front, no seatbelt. Driver drove somewhat chaotically (even considering Vietnam driving standards). The final bus did not drop destination according to my booking, meaning I had to book a Grab for the final 1km. I had seen this drop point on other bookings but chose this service as it was close to my accommodation.
