What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Vin Bus?
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.

Vin Bus Company Reviews
J H
Jeanine HPoorly organized; the bus company’s staff did not speak English. The bus driver was surly, and there were two other employees with him who spoke little to no English. When you tried to ask a question, they would simply ignore you and walk right past you through the bus. We were given no information about a stop in the middle of the night or a transfer to a second bus—all they shouted was "Cat Ba OUT!" In short: hire English-speaking staff and provide clear information.

Sarah EDriver would not let us choose our cabin, even though the bus was empty when we arrived. We were forced to take a top cabin and we very much wanted bottom cabins. Also, these cabins are too short for a person taller than 160cm. We are 170-175 cm and our knees were bent the entire 6 hour ride.

Adrian SThe bus was late but they did put us on another sleeper bus with that is more spacious. Don’t get the sleeper buses at the last row because those don’t lie flat and is awkward. No water is provided but they do have blankets. One or two toilet breaks where you have to prepare small change to us, and places to pick up some snacks and food. Overall experience is okay but for the price you could book elsewhere with better conditions.

Šimon NWe booked a limousine from Tam Coc to Bai Chay, some of the other reviews had us expecting the worst but it was absolutely fine. Since I read the communication isn't great and the pickup place and time might not be accurate I tried to text them the day before, to which they didn't respond. However, when we got to the place mentioned on the ticket I texted again and they responded pretty much immediately. A taxi picked us up on time and took us to the bus station for transfer. The limousine turned out to be a sleeper bus but that was probably for the better. We departed a little late, did make a bunch of stops to drop or load random luggage or people. Then they told us to leave the bus at a random spot like 15 minutes away from the original location, but the bus staff just handed 100k VND to a taxi driver there, told us not to worry and the taxi took us to our hotel after I showed him (hotel drop off was not even included I think, so nice). We only arrived like 15 minutes late. (No fish were transported that day) Overall decent experience, got us from A to B. Communication truly wasn't great, getting kicked off the bus before your stop is a little confusing, but I say trust in the process, they know what they are doing.

Bella BFirstly the pick up was very unorganised. We were waiting exactly at the coordinates and the photo that was provided to wait for a pick up. We arrived at 10am and didn’t get picked up till 11.15 for our 10.30 departure. During this wait time I emailed and tried to contact the phone number but was unable to. When we finally got picked up it was by a car not a bus to take us to the bus. Very disorganised and no communication.
Next it would have been nice to know when the stops were happening as there is no bathrooms on board so it is a bit distressing when you don’t know how long you have to wait. ( A suggestion would be to send it with the booking confirmation to clearly state how frequent the stops will be and for how long so people know what to expect and how much food to bring with them etc )
The bus was also very delayed we would have been arriving to Hue at 8.30pm but didn’t get there till 12.30am and this was meant to be the fast bus.
But I will add we had to change our final destination while we were on board and they were very accommodating and made it easy for us to change.

Peter HI should have left Hanoi at 13:00. Instead of the bus arriving at 13:00, a taxi came to pick me up and took me to the bus station, where I had to wait until 14:00. The bus itself was in very good condition. The biggest problem was that we left one hour late and arrived in Ha Giang two and a half hours later than stated on my ticket. This was quite late for me because I already had some things planned.

Guido SAmazing experience.
Tha guide (Mr Vinh) spoke perfect English and gave us detailed explanation of the coffee workings with many interesting details.
The coffee farms we visited was very beautiful to see.
The accomodation for the night was super comfortable, a brand new hotel within the factory complex, with a beautiful cafe and garden. And in the garden we could enjoy some delightful activities after dinner, like karaoke and a toy archery.
We very carefully taken care of by Ms Leyli. No detail was ignored, and with frequent, thoroughful and proactive communication.
Highly recommended.

Keshet MWe received a location with No one to check in with or make sure we got on the right bus. We paid for a direct bus to cat ba, and then the bus stopped on the way and we had to wait almost an hour for a new one which was not even a vip sleeper like we booked. And to finish off they dropped us off far from the city and not at the drop off point. We had to pay for a ride to the hotel.

Victoria GThe bus left late, and so arrived late. The seats we had were comfortable but the charging ports didn’t work. The operators also stopped to let other people on so there were passengers asleep on the floor in the aisle. I’m not sure if this is common or not for Vietnam.

Brian HThe trip was so windy and bumpy, a sleeper bus is not really worth it. When we did get to Hanoi, we were so rushed in getting off the sleeper bus, we forgot things on the bus. And after getting off the sleeper bus, there was a mini bus into downtown that didn’t have a destination. They needed us to provide a location which we didn’t know at 4:30am. So we just got off the bus when they stopped for someone else.

Aleksandra PThe driver didn’t stop for a toilet break for 10 HOURS!! I don’t know how everyone made it through but I sat there dehydrated and thankfully slept to ignore that fact. I heard a man literally begging to go outside to smoke while the driver stopped for few minutes but they denied anyone to leave. Inhumane and unacceptable. The only good thing, the bus was on time. If you want to book with this company, don’t drink anything before the ride if you want to survive

LOIC NWe were the only passengers for half of the trip. For the other half there were 2 locals. We reserved a Cabin bus and were picked up by a limousine bus. This was ok as we were alone and could relax. There was 1 stop for lunch (we would have welcomed another stop before). The driver arrived 30 min before the departure and as we were the only passagers we could go immediately.

I approached the bus driver politely and respectfully to ask him if we were arrived, and he started yelling at me for no reason "get out, take a taxi !" . The bus was supposed to stop at Hanoi airport, but it stopped before, and I had to take and pay for a taxi. I reported this on WhatsApp, and even the person from the bus company laughed at me on WhatsApp !!!. It's truly deplorable behavior from this company.
