Ninh Binh to Dong Hoi Destination Reviews

LH
Our trip was far from perfect but Cat Ba Discovery (who we booked with but didn’t undertake our journey) have since been very helpful and reached out after I complained. I am happy with how they have resolved my issues. It is difficult to rate Cat Ba Discovery as they did not provide the service even though we booked with them via 12Go. Duy Khanh Limousine however, were poor. They provided the service/bus journey which was extremely unsatisfactory. There were dirty cabins, it was overbooked, people sitting in the aisle, we were asked to move and not reimbursed for this, various stops to make deliveries, not dropped at the drop off point stipulated on the booking form etc etc. Avoid Duy Khanh Limousine.

The train itself is very old. The toilet is working but everything is so dirty. The cabins are ok. Seem to be quite clean. The bed bunks are ok. Just before we arrived a lady came in and folded our blankets and put them on the pillow, just as we found them when we got on the train. They are therefore not washed changed, thats disgusting. Overall 30€ per Person is the absolute maximum I would pay for a 4 Bed cabin.

Sleeper train was fine. Train was only a few minutes late. Live cockroaches on the train though which was jarring.

It doesn't make any sense to offer this intenary as a two day trip. I essentially attended two different one-day tours. The first one ends at 4pm, then they drop you at the guesthouse without any recommendations about what to do. The second day the tour was supposed to start at 11, but I was sitting around waiting for the pickup unil 1pm and we finished again around 4pm. It's an very touristy tour. The guides were hard to understand (but that holds true for most tours in Vietnam...). The communication over whatsapp was good. I recommend spending a few dollars more to do an adventure tour with camping in the national park.

Don't do it for the comfort but for the experience. The train itself isn't too comfortable to sleep ok but facilities are all fine and everything ran on time. Quite the experience but don'r expect a great night of sleep!

it was a pleasant experience. the bed was clean, soft enough for this kind of bed and no bad smells from the toilet. a curtain for more privacy would be good if your neighbors are not that pleasant.
