It doesn't make any sense to offer this intenary as a two day trip. I essentially attended two different one-day tours. The first one ends at 4pm, then they drop you at the guesthouse without any recommendations about what to do. The second day the tour was supposed to start at 11, but I was sitting around waiting for the pickup unil 1pm and we finished again around 4pm. It's an very touristy tour. The guides were hard to understand (but that holds true for most tours in Vietnam...). The communication over whatsapp was good. I recommend spending a few dollars more to do an adventure tour with camping in the national park.
Don't do it for the comfort but for the experience. The train itself isn't too comfortable to sleep ok but facilities are all fine and everything ran on time. Quite the experience but don'r expect a great night of sleep!
it was a pleasant experience. the bed was clean, soft enough for this kind of bed and no bad smells from the toilet. a curtain for more privacy would be good if your neighbors are not that pleasant.
The train was OK. It arrived perfectly on time which was great, but sadly our carriage was the only one where the air conditioning wasn't working, so it was a very long, hot journey to Dong Hoi. We arrived around 15 minutes late, which was OK, all things considered. The beds were reasonably comfortable, the cabin was clean and the views were pretty amazing. The toilets are very unclean, but again, we could deal with it. Overall it was about what we expected.
ネットでプライベート(2人用)キャビンを予約しました。予約は可能で、支払いなども済ませたのですが、1日後に実はこのキャビンは空いていなかったと聞きました。すでに支払った金額も多かった。するとコンタクトセンターは、追加料金±50ユーロで2人用の4人用キャビンを予約できると教えてくれた。あなたのミスのために追加料金を払う必要があるのですか?しかも少額ではない...)。私たちはこれをやめて、他の2人とキャビンをシェアすることにした。私たちはニンビンから出発したが、チケットにはハノイからの出発時刻が書かれていた。列車に乗った夜、トイレは汚く、スタッフは車内でタバコを吸っていた。客室は清潔で、とても新しかった。他にベッドが2つあり、予約されていたが、まだ使われていなかった。しばらくすると、客室乗務員兼車掌が私たちのチケットをチェックしに来た。彼はドアを閉め、プラス25ユーロでキャビンを独り占めできると言った。他の2つのベッドにはゲストの名前が書かれたウェルカムペーパーが置かれていたが、おそらくその人たちはキャンセルしたか、列車に乗り遅れたのだろう。私たちはどうしても自分たちのキャビンが欲しかったので、彼にその金額を支払うことにした。しかし、どうせ私たちはキャビンを独り占めできたはずで、このキャビンアテンダントはただ金儲けをしたかっただけなのだと思う。私たちがとても疲れていたので(真夜中だった)、彼はその状況を利用したのだ。キャビンや列車は良かったのですが、このキャビンアテンダントに詐欺にあったような気がして、不安な気持ちになりました。また、12 Go Asiaでの予約手続きもとても面倒でした。

We booked a private (2 person) cabin online. It was available to book and did the payment etc. only to hear a day later that this cabin actually wasn't available. It was a lot of money already paid. Then the contact center told us we could book a 4-person cabin for the two of us for an additional +/- €50 (ehm, excuse me!? We need to pay extra for your mistake? And not a small amount either.. ). We decided not to do this and to just share the cabin with two others. We left from Ninh Binh but our tickets had the departure time from Hanoi on it, so this was not correct either. On the night itself we entered the train, the toilet(s) were disgusting and the staff was smoking inside the train. The cabin was fine - clean and quite new. There were two other beds which were reserved but not occupied yet. After a while the cabin attendent/conductor came by to check our tickets. He closed the door and told us we could have the whole cabin for ourselves for +/- €25 extra, we had to pay him in cash and he would make sure nobody came in... It was all very strange and dodgy since there were welcome papers with guest names on the other two beds, but perhaps those people cancelled or missed their train. Since we really wanted the cabin for ourselves we decided to pay him the amount. However, I believe we would have had the cabin to ourselves anyway, and this cabin attendent just wanted to make money. He took advantage of the situation since we were so tired (it was the middle of the night). The cabin and train were fine, but we felt like we were scammed by this cabin attendent which left us with an uneasy feeling, and the booking process with 12 Go Asia was such a hassle as well. I would appreciate a compensation and would also recommend others to book directly at the train station and not with a partner online.
the trip we had did not meet our expectations for the price we paid (370 dollars for 4 seats between ninh binh and dong hoi ). The beds are hard as Wood. The toilets are dated and not clean and would need to be refurbished. We are disappointed of the service provided for the price we paid. Also, the voucher Said we had to go to the train station 60 min ahead of time to exchange the voucher for tickets Which was not necessary as the voucher made for tickets and finally, post importantly, our seats were attributed to another family why got it the train before we did! Fortunately another one was free on the same coach. At last , I chose the train because it was scheduled to arrive in dong hoi at 6:00 am and a couple of days before I got a message saying it would arrive at 5:00 am Which I would not have choses with the kids. Not a good expérience .

Don’t know when to board the train. No English announcements in Ninh Binh. No
Status of trains arriving or departing in Ninh Binh. Only info on board was obsolete. Train was bumpy and people next to us was loud and watching tv at 3am yelling with tv volume very loud. Told them to be quiet and they moved to the next carriage. But that did not help. Luckily I had ear plugs. It was the worst experience ever.
I mean it was clean with an attender in every coach. Nicely managed. Train was just 15mins late. But AC was blasting so personally it was too cold for me. But washrooms were usable and clean so happy.
