Differing, pick up points and unhelpful driver, spent a hot morning trying to find the bus, thankful it was our last use of the service before we leave Vietnam

Paid extra to have the nice coach, which was really nice and comfortable. Only to be transferred to a packed taxi at the edges of Hanoi. Wouldn’t have minded if we were told before hand.

While the actual limousine was good, the entire process of getting into it and off was a task. We were asked to come to a different location for pickup into what was actually a jam packed Toyota Innova acting as a shuttle to Duy Khang's office. It was an uncomfortable 20 min ride with barely any room to breath and the same happened in Hanoi, we were offloaded before reacing the city and asked to get into a smaller Hiace for the remaining 30 min journey to Old Quarter- we denied and got onto a Grab

Really understanding agency. I had one foot in the cast. They did everything they could to help me. The van was very comfortable with a seat massing. The transport went very well with a very helpful driver!

In general it was a great ride and we arrived on time. Unfortunately, they told us a wrong pickup point. Luckily, the pick-up point seemed a bit strange to us and we contacted the provider again shortly before departure. He then said we should please go to the general bus station. In the end, everything worked out, but if we hadn't contacted them, we would still be there today ;)

2 Stars for bringing me to my destination. The rest was nerve-wracking. We were repeatedly urged via WhatsApp to leave 45-60 minutes before our booked departure. You probably tried to combine several bookings at different departure times. If I book at 8 p.m., I like to be there 15 minutes in advance and leave at 8 p.m. But I think it's cheeky to steal an hour from me at my holiday destination, even though I paid for 8 p.m. We were put under pressure until departure with the result that we left 45 minutes early and were traveling a total of 1 hour longer than stated. A direct connection was specified when booking. Instead, we had to change twice. It wasn't a nice experience.
