Hoi An to Hue Destination Reviews

JG
Nobody came to the pickup spot, so we left after waiting for an hour. The operator first picked up the phone saying yes the bus will come. Second time we called he got angry that we called so early, and said the bus is probably just late. Then he didn't pick up any more at all. On the way to another bus company by taxi the operator called and said the bus was now there so we had to turnaround.

As soon as we bought the ticket, we were informed that we would depart an hour late on a different bus of the same class. When we pointed out that our request was due to the time, we were upgraded to a 10-seater van with no change in fare. Aside from an unannounced change of vehicle, the trip was excellent, with the added bonus of being dropped off right in front of the hotel.

Disappointed that the car didn't do a hotel collection despite being 1 min drive away from out hotel and they also indicated they would do a hotel drop off but didn't. They added an extra person in the back but there was no room so it felt unsafe

I had a very good experience with the bus company. The bus arrived on time as scheduled, without making the customer wait long, which shows professionalism and respect for the customer's time. The driver was very attentive, polite and drove safely. Throughout the journey, I felt secure and comfortable. The bus was clean, the air conditioner was cool, bringing a pleasant feeling throughout the trip. I am very satisfied and will definitely continue to support the bus company in the future. It is worth recommending to friends and relatives!

Inaccurate information. The trip was not what indicated in the booking. The departure time was later than indicated, the vehicle type was supposed to be a minivan but it was a sleeper bus, the trip took longer than indicated and the destination address was more than 30min away from there one listed on the booking, the only solution given by the bus driver "pay yourself for the transfer".
