Wouldn’t refund me or even entertain the idea of a change of date for my trip despite a hurricane/typhoon in the area. Shambolic customer service…avoid at all costs.

We had a child with us and we were disappointed initially as we got top berths for both the seats. However after Ninh Bing station lower berths got free and the staff informed us that we can use the lower berths now, which made the journey quite comfortable.

Horrible. We will never come back. They didn’t understand a word of English, we found the place by sheer luck because the directions they gave us were minimal, the place was unbearably cold even after turning off the air conditioning, our suitcases arrived covered in dust, the blankets were dirty — honestly, it was shameful.

We already traveled earlier with another train. This was much better. Only missing a hook inside cabine. Breakfast could be better than a breakfast box. But overall a good choice And at this price - poor to take luggage yourself from lounge to train. Include stairs up and down Finally a small cooler in cabine should be available

The company sent us on the wrong bus. The bus wasn’t what I booked. The bus was very uncomfortable. The bus stopped in Hué and the driver told us it was the last stop. I was confused and one of the staff told us a car will come after 20 min to pick us up which will take us to Danang. We waited for 1 hour and still no one was there. The staffs were ignoring my question when asked again when will a vehicle come. In about 1hr 15 min a van had come which took us to the bus stop. The got us in another bus and dropped us in Danang. The second much was much comfortable. How ever the change of the vehile was unexpected. The bus was super uncomfortable.

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.

The decision depends on lifestyle preferences, work, and climate. Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, offers rich history, cultural landmarks, and a larger urban economy, making it ideal for career opportunities and experiencing northern traditions.

It’s popular among expats seeking a balance between work and leisure, especially with its proximity to UNESCO sites like Hoi An and My Son.

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.
