Driver drive slower than every bus in the highway, we had to stop and switch buses and we're not even sure why or confident that we were going in the right direction. Got there an hour late.

After travelling on buses in Vietnam we were not as impressed by this service. The staff were nor very helpful and it woudnt hurt to smile now and then. We arrived over an hour and half late, which we think was due to traffic. So if you’re on a tight schedule leave a lot of extra time.
