The driver was nice and driving well in terms of Vietnamese standards: that is to say, it can be a bit scary at the beginning for an European like me, but he knows what he is doing. One thing I didn’t like : one seatbelt at the places close to the driver was not working, but it wasn’t its fault..

Good thing: We arrived at our destination and were dropped off at our hotel. After waiting for 1 hour our driver arrived. He threw out the trash on the street and helped us carry our luggage into the van. He didn’t speak English and we weren’t 100% completely sure if this was our driver. The ride was fast but had many stops along the way. He drove like Max Verstappen and overtook as many drivers as possible even on the small and narrow roads.

Pick up was punctual. We were also dropped off right at the door of our homestay which added to the convenience. Overall, it was a very smooth experience
