Bus at 11.45 from Tam Coc doesn’t exist according to the ladies in The Long hotel office. There is only one at 12.30 which showed up 15min late. We made several stops along the way to pick up some packages, the drivers cigarettes, … but I reckon that’s just the way it is. We still arrived a the promised time, which was good.

Bus was clean and comfortable, service was lacking. The departure was actually scheduled for half an hour later than what we had been told, and the bus arrival location was 1km away from the location we had booked.

Bus left 45 minutes too late and arrived 1 hour before the schedule. There was water dropping. The air condition at the seat was broken and not adjustable. Great was to get a drop-off near the hotel.
