Hoi An to Hue Destination Reviews

I booked the 11am bus and the company sent me a message telling that my bus was rescheduled to 9am. The bus left Hoi at 9:10am.

From Hoi An to Da Nang - 6 passengers in 1 normal car.... Crazy. And we changed to a Limousine bus from Da Nang and it was much better. The driver was 50 mins late. But at least we are safe to our destination.

It was very ok… I booked a limousine but what showed up was a 7 seater car that was very cramped. The driver also stopped a few times without warning or telling us why before getting back in. He then had a flat tire - but got that fixed no problem. Drove safely and got us there in time - so ok and got us there but not what we expected.

The transfer was scheduled for 3:30 PM, but the driver contacted me at 1:00 PM because I had to be at the hotel for the pick-up at 1:30 PM. I was on an excursion that I had to abandon to rush back to the hotel. It didn't seem right.
