The customer service was poor. The girl on reception in Phong Nga was surly. The young man on the bus was rude and incompetent.He upset several passengers, with his chaotic approach to allocating seats. We have been travelling for over a month and have seen nothing like it before. The driver however did a good job, was safe and on time. We do not recommend travelling with Hoang Minh Limousine.

Comfortable, safe journey. Wonderful seats and driver. SDT (with horrible reviews) seems history, and now have changed name and quality as HM Happy Car Buslines.

Everything worked perfectly. Also the shortterm change of departure time and destination we had to make the evening before due to a flight schedue change was no problem at all.

Driver checked regularly where we were going as there were several stops. Communication was good because this bus went earlier than planned and I got a message to say that. Quieter time of year so less people, all on one bus, more economical. Was given water too.
