Marek VThe driver was really poor – even by local standards. He caused a significant delay by forgetting to pick up some of the passengers due to his own mistake, and then tried to make up for lost time by driving recklessly. While the seats were comfortable, the driver honked almost nonstop for the entire journey, which made it nearly impossible to rest.
The final straw was the drop-off. He forced only us to get off early, even though two other passengers were going to the exact same hostel as us. He drove them directly to the door, while we had to get out 2 kilometers away and order a Grab just to meet them there again.

Monika PWe've been traveling in Vietnam for four weeks, but we've never encountered such a fast and reckless driver. He picked up someone for cash and then sat them in the gap between the seats with a plastic chair because all the seats were full. And then he dropped us off 20 minutes from our booked destination, claiming that was the stop. After consulting with management, they paid us a Grab to the stop.

Therefore only 2 stars deduction!

Johannes SThe driver drove very aggressively and pushed others from the road. We were put into another vehicle somewhere along the way without any information or time to pack our stuff. We felt like cargo.

Piotr PLong waiting time for other passangers pick up (30+ minutes), overall 1 hour behind the schedule. Keep in mind while booking.

Alfonso SAlmost 2h delayed! We were stressed most of the journey thinking we were not going to make it on time for our cruise, which we made JUST in time! It seemed to me like the driver was running some errands along the way.

Thomas The mini van was late, then stopped multiple times for delivery or pickup of diverse items including smelly fish and we had to take our luggage on us to make space for this at the back.

Megane MThey asked us to change bus when we arrived near our destination. The bus was late but the driver didn’t care, he was driving slow and making a lot of stops. All the passengers almost missed their cruise ship for Halong bay.

Susie LOver an hour late picking us up. As always with this company they are never on time, the customer service is terrible and the bus drivers are awful and grumpy. The only saving grace is the quality of the VIP busses, always on point.
