Theo PWe were switched to a different bus company at the last minute without any prior notice. They made us get into a car and took us to another company—a low-cost, uncomfortable one. There was no TV, the air conditioning didn’t work, the seats were dirty, and there were no restrooms. The bus staff were rude, shouting at us and shoving us around. I took photos of everything; it’s an absolute disgrace. I paid for a high-standard service, yet I ended up on a bus from a low-cost company—not the one I had booked. I am requesting a refund, as the prices for the two companies were not the same!

Miriam SOverall good experience, left a bit late but arrived on time. Had to take a shuttle from tam coc to final destination in Hoa Lu, that was unexpected but worked fine. Night was bumpy but did get some some sleep.

David I was happy with the bus trip, on time from Sapa to Hanoi but late getting to Ninh Binh.
I was very unhappy with the shuttle driver to my hotel, I was last and I kept on telling and showing the driver he was going the wrong way but wouldn't listen. He ended up dumping me by the side of the road a long way from my hotel, I had to get a grab to get to my hotel, very poor

Hala AEverything was very good except, They do not tell you how is your trip is going to be, Our trip was from SAPA to Ninh Binh, they took us by the sleeper bus to hanoi, then we had to wait in thier office for another car limousine to take us to Ninh Binh, the second car came too late to for pick up but they drive fast to make sure you arrive on time..

Brianna SThe guy who was supposed to greet us at the stop was passed out sleeping, and when we asked to drop off our bags he said he could charge 50,000 vnd each to store our bags in his personal room. We ended up having to walk around with our bags all day and when we came back in the evening, we asked to use the washroom and he said it was out of service. We got a text shortly after saying that our bus stop had moved to a location right down the road that had bathrooms and bag drop off.

Haya KThe bus is bumpy if you are on top and can be hard to sleep. I wanted to change my date and contacted 12go multiple ways but they only responded after the date had passed.

Marina ROverall a comfortable trip. Unfortunately the Wi-Fi was not accessible. And over an 8 1/2 hour trip we had two 15min rest stops.Was not sufficient.
Otherwise the trip is well worth it. Being a passenger on the day trip, driving through beautiful country, was memorable.

Marc SWe thought we booked one bus and in the end we had to use two buses and had to change in the middle of the night.
It is absolutely intransparent in the booking that we needed to switch the bus. We thought we booked one bus from Sapa to Ninh Binh.
We booked the bus for 11 pm and this time was also written in our voucher. In the end we got a message that our bus starts at 10:30 pm. Also this was intransparent and not clear for us.
The staff at the office in Sapa were very unfriendly and couldn't help with any questions (whether out of ignorance or simply because they couldn't be bothered).
