Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

They ran on time, confirmed the pick up location and time the day before and even dropped me off at the front of my hotel at no extra cost. I would have no hesitation in using them again.

Smooth and efficient journey. Safer than the bus!

Our train was delayed to the point that we had to change our ticket for another train. Smoking at the ends of the carriages seems ok so had smoke in our room. AC in our carriage eventually came on and was pleasant enough. Good if you are after a travel experience ;)

Go to the station and buy your ticket directly. These agents add on extra 50% fees for doing practically nothing. Also you still have to arrange your own transport to the station. So it's pointless to buy bus tickets via agoda/12go really.

When we booked first class and paid over 90 dollars, we certainly did not expect to be put on a train with such bad hygiene, the toilets were so disgusting, extremely hard beds, and very noisy. Super disappointed..

We paid 45€ for conditions that did not correspond to the price. The train was very rough. There were three bunk beds and almost no room... the people were very friendly and the staff, despite not understanding English, too. Keep in mind that no one can fit!!!! Porteu menjar de fora O haureu de pagar-lo dins!!!!
