The bus was late due to other guests instead of coming between 7:30 and 7:40 it came at 8:15. The bus driver was driving fast after that and hitting the brake often and making the trip uncomfortable.

The First Bus was clean and modern, the Speedboot was an old boat but for the short distance OK. The Bus from the Port to Tam Coc was old and unconfortable. The Driver seem to be without experiance. And finally we had two defekt Tires, so we are 1:30 hour late.

Pick up at the hotel in time, express ferry was old and very crowded. The bus was old, too. Seats always leaned back. Drivers had no idea of road work and stucked in traffic jam. Alternative route was possible but not taken. 1 hour delay at last. We had to go the last 600m by foot.
