Comfortable seats, strong AC. Adequate number of stops, but the toilets were not great. We arrived 1.5 hours ahead of time, which was not ideal for us.

Everything was good, but at first I had trouble to find the office. The coordinates in the travel voucher however helped a lot (maybe put them somewhere else before booking?)

Now we know how the Traffic works in Vietnam but this driver rides very aggressive. We get out earlier and take a Grap with an cool easy Rider. Sorry never again in Vietnam.

The bus stopped for a long time because (I think) of a control. We didn't know exactly what happened.

Overpriced. Just go to the bus station and book it yourself. You will save some money

The bus dropped us in the middle of nowhere eventhough we could chose the drop off location on 12go. We paid a lot compared to other passengers on the bus (locals) and we were the first ones to get kicked-off the bus (very rudely).
