I live in Hanoi and plan a self-guided trip to visit Bai Dinh Ancient Pagoda/Bai Dinh Pagoda (Ninh Binh) during the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026. Transportation is now very accessible. Among many limousine companies, I searched on Vexere and found a suitable schedule with XE Vietnam. The round-trip ticket prices are quite reasonable. What I found most impressive is their shuttle service. From their office at 251 Luong Van Thang Street, Hoa Lu Ward to Bai Dinh Pagoda, Tay Hoa Lu Ward, the distance is about 20km. The company enthusiastically provided a shuttle service, even for just one person, covering a total distance of 40km, for only an additional fee of 45,000 VND. My only concern is that the company might lose money. That's the only positive thing about the shuttle service. Happy New Year to XE Vietnam! Best regards.

Way from Ninh Bình to Ha Noi was much better than other one with a company, their name I don’t want to say. No bus change, no driver changes, a company member wrote me himself (instead me running in Hanoi streets and asking local people “can you call the driver …?”. Don’t forget to pay additional money for extra service like pick up and drop off when you want. Get ready to change bus to a car in the end point of the bus. Just take your bags and seat to a car. It’s simple. And I’m appreciate a speed of bus. I’m not sure I’d it legal or not, but 100km/h is much better than 80. Thanks for your attention and sorry for my bad English (your Russian is not better I’m sure). Good luck!

Overall, the trip was nice. The driver contacted us 30 mins before he arrived at the homestay. He was a few minutes late but it’s okay. Then he drove around other homestay to pick other passengers. Then he dropped us at the office, where we all had to get out and transfer to 12 seats limousine. After 2hrs45mins, we reached our destination. It would be nice if the driver gave us more info so we have some kinda clue of what’s going on.

The driver is punctual. The bus is comfortable and we arrived 15 minutes early. The driver was a little abrupt in his driving but overall it was very good.

I travelled from ninh binh to danang on the overnight sleeper bus. It was our first experience taking these types of buses and we were nervous. Initially, there was a change in the pick up spot 2 hours before departure which was communicated by email. We got to the correct location at 9 and the bus wasn’t there. We reached out through email and received a prompt response which was very much appreciated. They let us know that the bus was 10-15 mins late. Once the bus arrived the driver came to us personally and helped and the customer service agent also confirmed over email. The bus was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bus driver was very kind and extra attentive knowing that we were tourists. We felt safe throughout the whole journey. The bus driver at the end of the ride guided us to the free shuttle that drops you off at the hotel. I would highly recommend.

A very responsive person, always in touch, even after the trip. Not just a driver, but a friend! He helped with the booking and transportation back to the hotel. He's a selfless, kind, and helpful person; we need more people like him. Thank you very much.

Driver drove like a proper Vietnamese - passing people in the shoulder in a jam etc. Since there was a huge traffic jam and we were in a hurry to get to the airport, I was rooting for him. If you come to Vietnam expecting people to drive like in Europe, go somewhere else

The bus company's service process is very good, with very few areas needing improvement. However, it would be better if the company changed its tissue paper supplier, as the tissues have a slightly strange smell. Otherwise, I've witnessed many changes in the bus company over the past two months: drivers and bus assistants are increasingly friendly, the service process is clear and efficient, and they've resolved the transfer bottleneck in Hanoi by assigning specific zones to each bus.
