What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Ninh Binh Excursion?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Excellent customer service and bus. I don’t give them 5 stars because they picked up the wrong person, so I had to wait for another bus to pick me up like 1 hour and a half later. But even though they resolved it and were always responsive.

We stopped at the pearl shop “ Trạm dừng nghỉ eco” (https://maps.app.goo.gl/mBRPSHNXfgYcX39U9?g_st=ic) , just a trick for tourists to buy expensive stuff and bad quality and expensive coffee . Just read the reviews. Apart from that, the guy on the bus was very friendly and giving tips and places to visit in our itinerary in vietnam, he was very kind

It can take up to 3/3.5 hours. They always stop (15 minutes) at a very busy reststop with the worst coffee in the world. Gets you from A to B in the end and in time for your cruise. Some seats have little leg room (the single seats)

Arrival time of 10.30 wasn’t met. We arrived at the drop off around 11.50 am after picking and dropping off several people across several points. Later we thought that the bus conductor knew that small ships don’t leave before 12 so we won’t miss our cruise but the delay had me worried. Overall, bus was super comfortable and journey safe and great.

We had a stop at a Pearl Farm (about 1h) only 10 min away from our final Destination. The vehicle was good, the Crew was friendly but I paid for a transport and not a sales event.

Bus Limousine, Ninh Binh Excursion, Nov 15, 2025
The hours in the timetable don’t match the hours in reality. We were late almost 2h, because the bus needs to pick everyone from their hotels + a mandatory 30min stop in the middle of nowhere with a big tourist shops trying to sell souvenirs- can’t sit in the bus, as the bus is locked and everyone thrown out of it and forced to go to the mall.

My wife was sitting next to the driver and me on the back of the vehicle, and our seat was not as confortable as the others in the middle. It's a shame that we pay the same price than the others passengers. We should réservé the seat and pay differently if it was seats in the middle or in the front or the back

Driver left us in middle of street full of water. He didn't leave us in the hotel. Other cars were crossing and motorbikes too but he refused. We arrived to the hotel walking between the water.

The worst thing first, they make a 'planned stop' at a very well known tourist trap. Which will delay you for 30 minutes for no reason, except that the transporter gets a kickback from every costumer they bring there (this costs them 2 stars here) As for how the last star is lost. I was very happy to receive a whatsapp from Linh the night before, who figured out that my hotel is not reacable by their big bus, so we hammered out an alternative pick up point (good job Linh). Imagine my surprise when i get a message 7minutes before departure from someone else, wanting to know the same details again. Turns out they switched out linh and the information got not transfered. Needless to say coordinating this 7 minutes before pick up was a bit hectic. Given that the costs is at least 2 dollars higher than their direct competitor, who did a much better job for the way back (arguably the harder trip to plan in my specific case), i can not conciously recommend this transport company. Aside from the absolutely hated stop, the rest of the travel was quite uneventful. except that i saw part of the Airconditioning plastic part fall on a person in front of me, when the vehicle hit one particularly bad pothole, because the vehicle seems to be quite poorly maintained on the inside at least. Maybe the only good thing appart from linh noticing my hotel one night before, the driver had a sense of humor. Again, only book this company if you have no other choice

Bus on time, very comfortable seats. Driver was driving very stressful and used the horn so much that it wasn't possible to sleep. We were dropped off on a weird spot by the road with the information someone else will pick us up. The next driver came 10-15 Minuten later. He was hery nice though. Overall good. We arrived in the end where we wanted.

We had a perfect ride from Hanoi to Tam Coc. Our Hotel was outside of the Old Town, so to save time, we were asked to be picked up on the other side of the highway, right by the footbridge, instead of at our hotel on the other side, which was totally ok. In Hanoi, they even had a second person looking for the travellers, so the driver could stay in his seat. Obviously, picking up the passengers across Hanoi Old Town took some time, so total travel time was around 2.5 hrs We had a short stop on the route with toillets and a shop. Driver drove carefully, was friendly and asked if temperature is ok. Modern music was played on a low level. No change of cars. Thanks for the 5-star experiance !

The great thing is that we came all the way to Tam Coc, but the journey was chaotic. It said that we should wait in the lobby so we did for 55 minutes before the driver came and then he almost drove away without us. Then there was a stop on trip, where we had to get out! Then 15 minutes later all of a sudden we were switched into another car that would take us all the way to the hotel. That was unexpected and chaotic.

Bus arrived 30 mins late and then transferred to a further bus. Very uncomfortable. All VIP seats taken, so two of us had to sit next to the driver in cramped conditions. Ok overall but certainly not VIP

L'information manque sur le site quand on booke, donc ça laisse perplexe pour savoir ce qu'on vient d'acheter. Une fois que c'est clair par contre, c'est merveilleux! Ils nous contactent via WhatsApp pour nous demander précisément où nous sommes et à quel hébergement on va. Ils viennent alors nous chercher là où on est et nous déposent exactement à la destination qu'on leur a communiquée. La climatisation est juste assez (pas glaciale, mais fonctionnelle). Bien entendu, il y a un arrêt toilettes (entre autres pour nous faire dépenser nos sous, sans surprise) et l'heure d'arrivée ne peut être garantie car on est plusieurs dans le même véhicule avec des destinations différentes. En gros, très satisfaite du service.
