It was easy to find the driver. He was waiting us outside when we went out of the airport.

Technically it is not 3 hours from the hanoi aiport to nimh binh. Yet it was 3 hours (despite a lot traffic jams, but thanks to brave driving) from Hannoi center to Nimh Binh. Driver takes you from the airport to hanoi center, where you would wait ~30min for the transfer.

Was running ahead of schedule and dropped me off at the homestay included was staying at. Top service! Took 3 cars/vans but they do mention that in the instructions if you read them.

I arrived at the airport earlier than planned and informed customer service accordingly. The driver arrived fairly quickly, so I didn’t have to wait long. I was even given an upgrade to a larger, modern vehicle (SUV), which I definitely appreciated! The driver spoke very little English, but that didn’t bother me much, as I was tired from traveling and preferred some quiet time anyway. However, the driving style was concerning. At times, I genuinely wished I had been driving myself. There was frequent harsh braking, and although traffic - especially in the city - was very intense, it could have been handled more smoothly. In addition, even though it might be common in Vietnam, the driver used the horn excessively throughout the three-hour journey, which became quite irritating and annoying. The most alarming moment occurred on a fast road when the driver was inattentive and touched a motorbike rider, even hitting her side basket. Fortunately, no one was injured! The driver’s friendliness was acceptable, but there is definitely room for improvement. Unfortunately, this reflects a pattern I experienced several times during my trip in Vietnam when using private transfers or other forms of transport. Upon arriving in Ninh Binh, the driver got lost multiple times, despite there being several clear routes shown on the navigation system. In the end, I had to guide him myself. Not a major issue, but certainly not the level of service one would expect for the amount I paid. We ended up driving around Ninh Binh for about 15 minutes unnecessarily.

This is not a direct shuttle. It stops 3 tips and you have to change busses 2 times. They don’t speak English
