Ha Giang to Cao Bang Destination Reviews

The driver just stop once and never ask if we needed to stop. The road was bumpy and we didn’t take main roads.

The worst bus experience I’ve had in Vietnam. About 30 minutes outside of Ha Giang, smoke started emerging from the radiator. Instead of sending a new vehicle immediately, the journey continued in this unsafe vehicle with the driver stopping to pour water in every 30 minutes as the overheating continued. Air con was mostly not available during this, and the window was rattling badly despite being a “luxury” vehicle. After about 2 hours we did change to a new bus. The few stops that were made had very unsanitary conditions. The driver tried to make us get out quite far from the booked destination, but did eventually agree to take us to our accommodation. The whole journey took 11 hours instead of 7. I would not travel with this company again.

Stopped many times for transporting local things and making personal deals. The trip took many hours more. Even while there was no traffic. Times on the booking are just not feasible in general.

Picked up at bus station driven around ha giang for an hour. Told we were on the wrong bus and should get off. Left for 20 mins then picked up again and told that was a mistake then drove round for another hour before leaving. Had to swap buses halfway through. Arrived 1.5 hr late surprisingly

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
