Hue to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

JB
The bus left as planned and we arrived like 2h early. Without even asking, they brought me to an other car to drive me to my hostel. This was very nice.

The journey was great, but we did not like at all that one person from the staff tried to get money from us, asking first one million, then 700, the 500k vnd, in order to let us use the whole cabin, telling us once and again that otherwise more people was coming in three hours, which was a lie. First of all, if we had wanted to book the whole cabin we would have done beforehand, and most important, we don't like people trying to cheat us.

The train was on time, the cabins where way to small for 4 persons and lugguage. For another cabin we needed to pay more (it was not our fault it didn’t fit, so a free solution should have been offered)

New and modern bus. All cabins fitted with TV, WiFi and USB socket. We arrived 2,5 hours before schedule. A little disturbing was the talking between the two drivers in the middle of night and the using of the horn at crossings all night. I would rather had preferred to arrive later.

Arrived late, bus was very comfortable but only made one stop in the first hour so we didn’t have chance to use the toilet in the next 8 hours.

Went from Hue to Ninh Binh. There was a stop at phuong nha cave and many people terminated there so in the end we ended up 3 people in the bus. Bus was really clean and comfy. We even got hotel pickup. The only negative thing is when was lunch time we stopped in really dirty restaurant with really bad reviews so we rather chose to not eat anything there.
