Hanoi to Tam Coc Destination Reviews

Overall it was good but it’s better if you feel safe! The driver was watching something on his phone for a long time which was on his lap. Not great when on a highway to see him looking down all the time and the van moving to the wrong side. Other than that it was all ok

The driver dropped us 10km from Trang An boat station and refused to drop us at the actual location. We had to catch a cab from there. The helpline was also not helpful as there eere no english speaking person.

The bus was not comfortable, didnt look like on photos, seats were poor quality. There was a transfer during the journey, which we were not informed about so we were later on the final place

It has very little space for luggage so you will be traveling with bags in the cabin

We arrived little more than an hour ahead of our 1PM departure time. They are a very busy service in a hectic location and they are organized. At 11:50AM I received a text that our departure will be delayed due to Hanoi's traffic causing the driver's late return to pick up. Within 4 minutes of that text, we were bumped up to the 12PM departure bus. The driver navigated the traffic safely. Bus is very comfortable, clean & the AC worked. I used the 12GO app. It's very user friendly. I recommend both 12GO and the Daiichi Travel for transport services.

At first, we wait more than 30 mins for the pick-up. Then we had to change limousine/bus three times during a two-hour trip from hanoi to minh binh 🤔
