Excellent service and a very comfortable car! Highly recommended, especially for longer rides. Ours took nearly five hours, and I am happy we decided to go with Mixi Travel. Thank you, and until the next time.

This bus is very comfortable, includes a toilet, and there is a stop for food. No matter which company you choose, the actual travel time if you travel in the daytime is 9-10 hours. Traffic going in and out of HCM is horrible during the day. At night it’s closer to 7 hours. So keep that in mind if you have a flight or onward bus to catch.

This was the worst overnight experience. They LIE about when you will arrive when booking. The Booking says leave at 22:30 (10:30pm) and arrive at 6am. But when I arrived I was told we would arrive between 4am-5am??? When I showed the agent that we are supposed to arrive at 6am he said that was an estimate???? We Arrived At 3:50am when they were playing music on the bus and tell us to get off!!!! If I knew we were arriving at 4am I would have booked a different bus. Clearly all the taxi drivers knew we were applying at 4am because they were all there. Read the other reviews, 4am arrival is KNOWN not an unexpected estimated time. I had to sit in a McDonalds until 9am when the hotel I had arranged an early arrival for opened. So 2 hours less sleep meant I was EXHAUSTED and then had to find a safe place in a city I was never at before at 4AM!!!

The driver had an accident (hit the car stopping at red signal from the back) and he took 1h 40m to settle the issue. The accident itself was minor and it does not take long time for settlement with insurance surveyor. However, he's been negotiating for personal compensation with the driver he hit for more than an hour. During the time we were obliged to wait. He's been communicating by video chat during driving, which is not good. Over all he drives slow but safe, which was not bad. MTM, he did not apologies for having us wait.

Probably the best night bus experience that I had. Clean and modern bus, water and snacks and for once nice drivers. Only downside was that we arrived 2 hours early (3:50 instead of 6) which mess with our planning a bit.
