Phong Nha to Tam Coc Destination Reviews

IN
I received ticket confirmation only 30 minutes before departure time, and until that moment it was unclear if I had the ticket or not. I contacted the 12GoAsia support, but they gave a vague answer neither confirming nor denying my trip.

Bed was comfy but impossible to get any sleep with the driving style used by this driver. Pick up about 10 mins late but we got in half hour early which explains the driving style.

False advertising, we never got a VIP bus for which we paid extra. The bus never arrived at the stated pickup point. We were out on another bus an hour later at another point.
