Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh Destination Reviews

T
The bus ran to time and the staff's explanation of each step of the border process was clear, meaning there were no issues, even when other travellers did not have the correct visas. The staff fixed this and after only a short delay everyone was back on the bus.

Great service, absolutely no hassle going across the board from Vietnam to Cambodia. Already booked the operator for another trip in a few days because we were so happy with the service

Bus at time, exchange money at their office Dong to Riel, SIM card a bit more expensive than the original but available with the best phone provider of Cambodia "cellcard" for 12$/30 days (6go per day + 120min call). The bus was comfortable and the stuff really friendly and English speaker. They provide some snack on the way and few stops to rest. They are also the one dealing with the passeport and visa for Cambodia. I recommande this company!

Amazing Bus & great organisation. Driving style was a bit aggressiv and they took 10$ more for cambodian visa, which is very sad. But as everything went super well it’s okay…

The journey went really well and we received great support at the border. The staff were very nice and helpful. Can highly recommend this coach trip.

The AC wasn't really working , so it was a very hot and stuffy ride. They took our passports, and didn't seem to want to be asked questions. We got to Phnom Penh safe, but it definitely was a 3 star experience.
