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.

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.

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 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.

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!

The driver was so nice! The car is clean and confortable , my friend was a few mins late because of the drivers were canceling her ride! He was understanding and waited with a big smile! And we still made it on time!

Great ride from Ninh Binh to Hanoi! We only made 1 transfer from a van that picked us up from our homestay to another larger van with very comfortable seats. The second van took us straight to our hotel in Hanoi. We were picked up at 11:20 and arrived before 2. We made one stop at a touristy place with a cafe and souvenirs and a bathroom and then straight to Hanoi after that. Would absolutely book with them again!

Went from Hanoi to Ninh Binh. Was picked up from my hotel in a shuttle car run by the service to take us to the bus and then a shuttle to take us from where the bus stopped to our destination hotel. Clear communication through whatsapp about pick up and all that kind of thing. No issues and super easy, would travel with them again.

We had booked online and were picked up at the Hanoi office. The driver called us 15 minutes before to let us know he was on his way. The departure was punctual, the journey went very well, the seats were comfortable. We had chosen the drop-off at Tam Coc when booking online, the driver left us near our accommodation.

Everything was great, super punctual, and the service was unbeatable. They picked us up from our hotel in Hanoi and dropped us off at our hotel in Tam Coc. We highly recommend it.

Hi everyone. The assistant is a wonderful girl, polite and attentive. Her attitude alone is enough to give this service a 5. She gave me half a day's notice of the departure time. She also provided advice on all matters, even those unrelated to this trip. I asked which taxi service I could use in Hanoi. She suggested I book a taxi; the price wasn't much different from what I found on Grab. The bus was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. The driver drove carefully. The bus was a little late, but I could see he'd been waiting a long time for tourists from a hotel near mine.
