Perfect transfer! Arrived at the office in Sa Pa, the lady was lovely. Bus arrived on time. Bus was clean as was the toilet. Stopped at the 3.5hr mark at services, all good. Driver was good - no erratic driving or excessive beeping. All in all, a perfect journey, lived up to to my expectations. Thanks guys!

The driver and assistant were yelling the whole time. also I never lay my bags on the ground. I wear these bags on my clothes. The driver had my bag on the ground when i exited with my laptop.

Bus driver was very strict and not so polite but the bus had the toilet which was clean so this compensates.

They moved us on an earlier bus upon request, which was nice. Driver was great, no risky manoeuvres or other stunts. Got us there on time. Only downside was that my shade wouldn’t stay up and couldn’t see anything unless I was holding it up by hand.

The bus was nice but the driver made too much stops. One time he stopped the bus to buy 3 live chickens. The worst was that in the end of the ride he smoked cigarettes and the bus was suffocated with stink.

The drive itself was good but when booking tickets it was not clear that 2 people sleep in one cabin. You should make it more clear.

There was no break in about 5,5 hours. The driver stopped for about 15 minutes at a Rest Station but no one was allowed to go out of the bus. Pointless and unnecessary ... Unfortunately, the staff in the office and on the bus were very unfriendly. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi was on function this time.
