The vehicle was not what was pictured on the app. The driver left my friend in the restroom when we stopped and had a very bad attitude when I asked him to stop so she could get back on the bus. He threw our bags on the ground when we arrived (not in the old quarter) about a 15 minute walk away. There was no communication and service was poor

The bus was late due to other guests instead of coming between 7:30 and 7:40 it came at 8:15. The bus driver was driving fast after that and hitting the brake often and making the trip uncomfortable.

The First Bus was clean and modern, the Speedboot was an old boat but for the short distance OK. The Bus from the Port to Tam Coc was old and unconfortable. The Driver seem to be without experiance. And finally we had two defekt Tires, so we are 1:30 hour late.
