Da Lat to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

A
The ticket said that it was collect from dalat bus station . Which we found out 10 minuite before the bus was scheduled that it was incorrect and had to get another taxi to the correct place . When we was on the bus no one spoke any English we then got ushed off to get off the bus around 50 minutes away from our destination . Lucky after showing them the online ticket they passed us to a lovely man that got us to our destination . The trip should of been 6h 30 min and ended up being 9 hr and it wasn't due to traffic it was due to them delivering parcels and constently stopping. The bus it self was confey and one of the nicest one we have been on but the whole experiment was very stressful . I would suggest paying a little more if you need to get to a place on time Lucky we had had the day to get there but didn't expect to be that long .

Never book from 12go.asia, they charged me almost double. I looked at the ticket that I got from the ticket window, after showing them the QR code and the ticket given to me said it costs 270,000 VND, however, they had charged me 20.51 Euros which is roughly double of what the original price is.

The driver was on the phone while driving and he was talking loudly. moreover, he always had his hand on the horn. we paid for berths and we couldn't have a moment of calm. It was horrible!!

Comfortable journey really good seats and well organised however we arrived at 4.55am not 7am and we’re let out on the street. As we were ordering a grab a driver offered to take us and scammed fare 6 times amount. Lesson is Don’t take offers on street early hours and don’t prepay only pay the metered price.

The VIP BUS facilities are really nice, I think it is worth the extra money. it took us 7 Hours to arrive (left at 10 and arrived at 17) to Ho Chi Minh. I felt we had many stops but maybe it is good that the driver can refresh a bit. I think that if you take the night Bus it will be faster :)
