The pick up location wasn't correct. Had to ask locals to find the correct place. Then sat at an office for 35 minutes in the bus waiting for other passengers. Driver drove very unsafe. Overall terrible experience.

The minibus was waiting at the pickup point when we arrived. Great driver. Arrived on time. Service and price were both excellent. Why more could you want?

Felt a bit lost at the drop off point but someone was expecting me so they approached me and asked if I booked a ticket with them. If not for them, I'd have taken a bit of time to find them. Multiple stops and transfers in between that was unexpected but the main shuttle to Tam Coc was comfortable and bottled water was supplied. Chairs have a massage option. Very comfortable

There was trash from other passengers in the car, and there were open water bottles everywhere. The worst part was the driver all the way to Ninh Binh. He drove way too fast and drove very close to everyone, which made us feel very unsafe. It was truly unpleasant!

We used this transport service from Ha Noi to Tam Coc (near Ninh Binh) and everything went smoothly. The driver picked us up at the arranged location (though a clearer sign would’ve helped), and the ride was comfortable and on time. No issues at all — would recommend!
