Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang Destination Reviews

AB
We went to VIP 22 ... Comfortable cells for sleeping, there is a massage, dim lighting for reading and charging. BUT! An hour after departure, when the driver has gathered all the passengers, he turns off the main light and everything that I have listed turns off with it. You are riding on an ordinary bed in complete darkness. Dear carrier, your bus is really very good and comfortable. There are almost no analogues in Europe. But do not turn off all the devices along with the light, then the bus becomes the same as all the other sleepbuses.

For people who are below 180cm tall this bus absolutely fine in terms of length and leg space:D taller people might find it difficult to fit in.

The experience was great. The first class compartment is fine. There is food sold inside by a lovely lady. We didn't feel the 8 hours. Our train arrived 30min late at Nah trang but left on time. The Saigon train station was a bit hard to find!

Was worried we would miss the bus because no locals knew where the bus would stop and could not help with instructions. But I called the company and they sent someone to get us wich was very helpful! Thank you!

Never, ever travel by bus in Vietnam, always train or fly. The train is a great option especially overnight when you save the cost of a room.

Took 1.5hours less than said so that was relieving, only took 1 stop about 2 hours in however so make sure you bring snacks!! Seats are small but as a 163cm tall girl I was fine but taller people might struggle to fit.
