Halong Bay to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

GK
Got the van that was pictured but only one of us had a seatbelt. We arrived to Tam Coc only 20 minutes late. The van was comfortable and the driver wasn’t too crazy; he did do one dangerous overtake and made a few phone calls, but by Vietnam standards he was pretty good.

The driver arrived 30 minutes later, but despite this, we arrived on time. There were no seat belts in our seats in the car. We arrived quickly.

It was okay. The Bus was super tiny. We are not the largest ppl fortunately. However, we were the last ones being picked up and our Kids had to squeeze into the two seats with even less clearance compared to the other ones. I dont know what's up with that..

The driver was nice, but spoke no English at all and was late picking us up. He did drive fast and got us there on schedule, but the driving was quite wild. The car was also too crowded, a kid had to seat in a plastic chair in the middle. It is an interesting cultural experience, if your up for it 😄

The service was an hour earlier than stated and we were put on the wrong bus initially and then moved to a bus with broken seats.

The bus is great but it took 1.5 hours longer than advertised. So from 3 hours it actually takes 4.5. The bus driver and helper talk non stop loudly the WHOLE way!

The driver was earlier than our given time but that’s ok. The van/limousine itself wasn’t as nice as the others we used. Felt a bit old and worn out. We were 6 in all and all seats were full. Any more and there’s no room. They stop for a quick lunch along the way. The bud doesn’t go all the way to the drop off point as specified. On the outskirts, you transfer into another similar vehicle that then takes you into Ninh Binh. The good thing was the other one individually dropped off people at their stays, although we had to wait for 20 minutes along the way for him to pick up someone else. Also, the pick up point named ‘Coffee Cherry’ has been renamed to something else, but at the same point.
