Hanoi to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

PR
Train seat was comfortable, departed on time and arrived only a few minutes late. Food and drinks were able to be purchased on the train.

A car driver picked up us to go to the bus. He was so fast and dangerous. We almost crashed…. The trip from Hanoi to Ninh Binh took one hour so imagine how fast was the driver bus too.

I was picked up with a car at the office on time and we were going to pick up another 2 people. When we arrived to the bus, the bus was already full of people and the company had overbooked the trip. Our driver was panicking even though it wasn’t his fault. Then we waited for an hour at the side of the freeway for another person to join the car. An hour late we finally got on the bus. And when we almost arrived at our destination everyone had to go off the bus and into a different one. The busses were ok, but it was just so chaotic.

Theoretically the train had air con but in reality everyone fell asleep because it was like sitting in the blast from a hairdryer. One window fell open, which pretty much cancelled the frail attempts of the AC, and all the windows were dirty and had grilles over them so it wasn't easy to see outside.

Great, but we were seated in front (right to the driver) and we didn't have a seat belt. But the experience was very good and the driver drives excellently.

The vehicles were great and on time, just that most of the staff are unfriendly and impatient.

For the drive from Hanoi to Ninh Binh/Tam coc we had to change cars 3 times. The drivers drove really reckless, too fast and not safe. We had a delay of 2 hours.
