Hue to Hoi An Destination Reviews

AL
We booked a limousine van from Hue to Hoi An and paid the full price for comfort and space. Halfway through the journey, in Da Nang, everyone was suddenly told to leave the limousine and continue in a regular shared car, small, uncomfortable, and nothing like what was advertised. The company later justified it by quoting a clause about “short transfers near the destination.” That’s simply not true. This was a midway vehicle replacement, not a brief local drop-off. We even saw other limousine vans continue the same route without any issue. What’s worse is that when we reported it, the operator and 12Go both replied with identical automated emails, repeating the same sentence about their terms instead of reading our message. It’s a misleading practice, hiding behind vague conditions to downgrade travelers mid-trip. If you care about reliability and honesty, avoid this company, they do not deliver what they sell and take no responsibility afterward.

Unfortunately, the bus was delayed, but the ride overall was quite comfortable. The air conditioning was too cold for me personally.

The word VIP should not appear in the booking. Bus looked horrible, not even close to the picture. The operator barely spoke English, we waited there 30 minutes then a very small car took everyone to the bus, without space for our luggage so we were pressed in that car.

Bus departed 30mins behind schedule, seal on door was broken and we stopped twice to try and fix it, arrived more than an hour late. Seats on the bus were broken, seatbelts didn't work, no water was supplied (only time I've ever taken a sleeper bus in Vietnam and not been given water).

I had two operators for that trip : - one from Hue to Da Nang - one from Da Nang to Hoi An The second driver was perfect, no complains. The first driver was beyond reckless and overall dangerous, he drove like a mad man. I don't know if he was on a tight schedule, but I don't mind arriving a bit late if I feel safe on the road... And I arrived 30min early to my destination, so there was no need for such behavior and such speed. Overall, because I don't want to penalize the second driver who did a great job, I'll rate this experience as average.... But if it were only for the first driver, I would put it in "bad".

6h ride with just one break and no toilet on board is a poor way to travel; the seats are very small for European body sizes - to narrow and to short
