1.5 hour late departure, rude unhelpful staff. I can understand the language barrier, but yelling at us was not what we expected. The airplane style toilet malfunctioned and overflowed. Yet only on stop. Lucky we had a few empty water bottles. Unexpectedly told to change bus in Hue onto a bus that was already full and had to share sleeper beds to Danang. Do not even think about booking with this cowboy outfit

Poor. Beds were incredibly hard and water stores ran out by morning so toilets out of action and no handwashing. Just book a regular trip - no need for an expensive tour operator. That add nothing to the experience except frustration.

The service was friendly and helpful, offering drinks and snacks periodically; we also enjoyed the complimentary snacks/water. The toilet and washrooms were clean. The beds however were hard and uncomfortable, and we found we were sharing with an older man as a group of young women which we weren’t warned about.

It was ok. On the bus itself we could not certain certain beds, we have no option for that. Also the drivers and staff speak only Vietnamese, no English communication at all, so we don’t know when or where we stop, for how long, or anything that’s going on, No English communications at all,.

Tipping taxi drivers in Da Nang is not a common practice, but it is appreciated. Most fares include the cost of the ride, and drivers don’t expect additional tips. However, rounding up to the nearest 10,000 VND or leaving small change is seen as courteous, especially for good service. Some taxi companies, such as Mai Linh or Vinasun, have consistent pricing and reliable drivers. If you receive exceptional service, such as help with heavy luggage or efficient route navigation, a modest tip is a kind gesture. Keep in mind that cash is preferred since digital tipping options may not be available.

Standard tipping: Rounding up the fare.
Cash tips are most appreciated.
Helpful for exceptional service but not required.

Offering a tip is entirely at your discretion but shows gratitude in a way drivers understand.

Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, offers rich history, cultural landmarks, and a larger urban economy, making it ideal for career opportunities and experiencing northern traditions.

Hanoi: Capital, cultural hub, cooler climate.
Da Nang: Coastal, relaxed, warmer weather.
Key factors: career, climate, lifestyle.

Both cities offer distinct advantages, so evaluate personal priorities when choosing.
