Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

Great experience. Highly recommend to everyone.
Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City, Train 2nd Class Sleeper AC, Vietnam Railway, Jun 15, 2025
AJ
I have been in most of the world’s great train journeys, and while the Hanoi-Saigon route certainly is among them, we were quite disappointed with the quality of accommodations on this “First Class,” private train. Bathroom co dictions that would likely be condemned by the boards of health in many 3rd World countries. Dirty floors. Deafening loudspeaker announcements throughout the night. This was a far, far cry from say, Thailand’s First Class “en suite” cabins. I’ve been on this trip many times - because trains always beat airports. But it’s getting harder to justify.

It wasn't clear which bus we should take. We couldn't reach the hotline. The bus wasn't VIP worthy, very small and tight beds.

The Fly was good but as usual was delayed and i have to pay to change my name on the Ticket because they don’t accept longer names. I think the problem is when we buy in 12go because in their site is possible. A way to still money to tourits..

I had a replacement ticket for a better time slot. Prompt info. Great support. Good bus. My berth was a wee bit small but still nice. Im tiny bloke. 172cm. Even arrived in Ho Chi Min ahead of scedule. Just 1 bad note. Bus personell a bit rude and harsh with the non viet speakers. I can comunicate in about 10 languages. Please do realise that for us westeners viet is really really hard to pronounce and to understand. I understand it can be frustrating for some. But to be yelled at and pushed is a bit too much. Otherwise really nice trip.
