Vung Tau to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

Douz M

went from Vung Tai to Saigon , normally we can always choose the seat , I was first to be picked up together with 2 foreign ladies, but the driver told me I had to sit in the back in a 3 seat with 2 large tourists, so I had barely space to move. Later we picked up Vietnamese people, 2 teenager anf a toddler and the father.Meanwhile a beautiful Vietnamese lady can sit in the front with him and they gave a toddler , and small teenagers a 1 seat while me I was cramped up , good luck if you 1m 80 no legspace in the back , had to put my backpack on my lap because there was no space to put it on the floor. In the back with 2 large foreigners. Clearly not logic and unfair.Calling this a limousine service?Never again and I don't recommend for foreigners . Just read the other reviews, it's a common thing how they treat foreigners, there are much better ones in Vung Tau with equal service. You v been warned if you don't want to feel discriminated, i v been travelling 2 months in Vietnam and first time I encounter this. Imagine it would happen in my country, this business would be closed on a second. For me was such a shock that this could happen in this beautiful country but apparently this the reality in 2026, unbelievable
