Ha Giang to Cao Bang Destination Reviews

P
The service will take more people that can be seated, with many on top of the luggage in the corridor. They don't clarify that they will pick you up in the hotel and drop you off there. The communication with the driver, even using Google translator for the address was diffult ( I copied and pasted both the address in Vietnamese and the instructions in English to get to the hostel and still got yelled at, even when the usher explained there was two locations less than a block from each other). The drivers ran a lot, and the road itself has a lot of curves, so it felt like a rollercoaster.

Second Limousine: Duy Khang! This driver is the worst driver I have had in my entire life! Extremely racist and unfair! When I was trying to translate to communicate he hit my phone out of my hand! He put his hands on my girlfriend! I am very very unhappy with this! I will make a very bad review! This was supposed to be VIP and is the worst transportation experience I have ever had! This man should not be driving people! I feel very unsafe

I booked a VIP Limo and got a bus from hell. A public bus was even better than the VIP limo service.

The driver drove very fast and dangerously on the mountain roads and honked his horn constantly. Fortunately, we arrived at the departure point early because the bus had already left. Luckily, someone drove us to the bus, which was already on its way. Communication is very poor. Do not travel with HT Travels, it is more of an intermediary company. Two stars for arriving safely. Otherwise, very poor.

At the beginning it was still quite funny when it was said we would drive the first 70 kilometers in an old bus and then switch to the limousine. There was still a lunch break for the shaky and chaotic first 70 kilometers, although not actually planned. Then came a promising VIP bus, you might think. However, this was also filled with locals to the top, which is why the term VIP is unfortunately not correct at all.

Our driver did not speed like a mad man, was extremely cautious of the road conditions. Our ride was a 5 star ride. Thank you

We didnt leave for over an hour after the start time. They loaded our luggage into the truck bed of separate dirty vehicle that seemed like its used to transport some machinery or equipment. About halfway we stopped for lunch and one of the cars “broke down” so they switched people around to other cars after a lot of confusing yelling between the drivers. The AC didnt work in one car and none of the USB outlets charged either. We arrived after 11 hours of what is supposed to be roughly 8 hours. It did however successfully and safely get us to our destination, it just wasn't smooth or fast.
