Ninh Binh to Quang Ninh Destination Reviews

Thibault M

Everything went perfectly from start to finish. The driver was excellent: very professional, careful, and safe on the road. I finished my cruise earlier than expected, and he was kind and flexible enough to pick me up earlier as well. Thanks to him, I arrived at the airport with plenty of time before my flight. The customer service was also very efficient. They provided all the necessary information regarding the trip, communicated clearly, and even took the time to ask for feedback afterward. Very appreciated. I highly recommend this service!

Was disappointed with WhatsApp message regarding pickup point and time. We had just sat down to enjoy our breakfast and I had received a message saying pickup in few minutes go to main road. We left our breakfast on the table as did not want to miss our bus. We walked to main road and waited here for 45 minutes until bus eventually turned up. We were very hungry at this time and upset. We were only 100m from our hotel. Frustrating to leave our breakfast at the table and having to wait longer then we were led to believe. It's a shame bad communication from driver otherwise would have been a pleasant trip.

We arrived 45-60 mins later than we should and therefore almost missed the excursion we had planned in HaLong. The driver spent a lot of time picking people up in lots of different locations and dropping people off + moving us to another vehicle with other confused passengers and everyone going to different locations

We were charged an extra 160,000 VND, and told we would not be picked up if we didn’t pay. The journey was overbooked and people were crammed in sharing seats. The bus arrived an hour later than scheduled.

The pick up was very late, around 45 minutes late and we have never been informed until we reached out to the support number. We were also not informed in advance that we would be picked up by a separate car and then transferred to the main bus. The process was not clearly explained. The only information we received was from the first driver, who told us to “stay in the car, the van will pick you up soon” while parking on a very dark street. Then the real transfer worked fine and we arrived to our destination almost on time.

Perfect pick up and almost on time arrival. They took me to a wrong dock, but I'm sure that if I had checked, they'd bring me at the right place. Very fast driving.
