Everything was comfortable and arrived on time. Driver even dropped us to our hotel instead of the cathedral due to heavy rain. Will recommend to everyone

It’s rare to find a service that’s both fast and reliable these days. I felt well taken care of the entire time, and nothing was left unclear. Highly recommend!

Was picked up directly from our homestay. The driver was absolutely professional. He was very cautious and the most vigilant driver we ever experienced during our inter-city transfers The vehicle was very clean and provided me with the comfort I needed for my trip. I enjoyed the back massages.

The driver pushed somebody else's luggage into the trunk and apparently it didn't fit. So, he slammed the door 3 times as hard as he could to close the door. Unfortunately, I sat in the back seat and the driver didn't care when he made my seat getting in a very upright position by pushing while I'm in the seat. He drove like crazy and passed everyone who was in his way in a very risky way. The car was a bit dirty.

The only negative point is we had to ask the driver for taking the highway. If we didn’t ask, he would have stay on small roads which takes more time and is less comfortable.

OP
This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had in Vietnam. The van was modern, very clean, and had comfortable seats with plenty of legroom. I especially appreciated the USB charging ports and free Wi-Fi during the ride. The driver was professional and courteous, and the whole trip was on time and well-organized. The staff also communicated clearly and were very helpful when I had questions before departure. If you're looking for a reliable and comfortable transfer service, I highly recommend this company. I will definitely book with them again on my next visit!

Driver was on time but was texting and calling people on three separate phones the ENTIRE trip causing him to drive extremely slow. Even little scooters carrying all kinds of materials were passing us. He had one phone mounted directly on his steering wheel and he was just cycling between texting all his friends and have conversations the entire trip. We got to our destination safely but would've preferred a less distracted driver.
