Sapa to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

AS
The bus was supposed to leave at 21:30, but we already left at 20:56.. We were happy we arrived early. There was a second stop were people got on & they overbooked the bus.. 4 tourists had to lay in de aisle on the ground for a 8 hour trip, instead of the VIP sleeper they booked. Really poor service as well, no body that spoke english and very agressive/irritated men.

We were driven to the Grißen bus in a small van. Everything went really well. The bus just stopped for 30 minutes at some point, which was really annoying.... . Otherwise the bus ride was good and the seats were also good.

Overall good experience. I received the cabins this time which were very comfortable and private. Only points off due to going to a slightly different drop off location.

Bus was late. We booked a VIP bus but were shifted to a "normal" one.

Very comfortable, but the air conditioning was very, very cold. Boarding and disembarking was very hectic. Very unfriendly staff in the office during the stopover in Hanoi.

Bus was Not in good Conditions (old and used inside). The personal could not speak English and was very rude. On the way from Sapa to Ninh Binh (about 6-7 hours drive) we stopped only once foe toilet usage. But stopped several times to pick up people. Good: the bus driver drove perfectly calm and save.

It said that the bus was leaving 6:32 (very strange) and that we should be there half an hour earlier. So we did but the bus ended up leaving almost an hour later and not from the indicated place. We were taken to the departure point. Many stops, the bus broke down on the way (a wheel) and we had to get to our destination with a private van. It was very tiring.

The bus left at 7:40 instead of 6:45 am, stopped at least 20 times during the journey, the driver and his helpers were rude, and the seats were extremely small and uncomfortable even for a 5’3” person. Can’t imagine how anyone taller than that would manage to fit. Annoyingly, instead of going directly to Ninh Binh, it went to Nam Dinh, and there I was transferred to a van even though I made sure to book a direct bus.

great journey, seats are quite narrow but not a big issue. the bus arrived at 3:30-4am when it was due in at 7am! guess it’s a sign of their driving speed!
