Excellent, comfortable bus journey - works definitely recommend. Contact from bus conductor was perfect, and when he came to meet me personally at the pickup spot he had my details which was reassuring. He also gave plenty of advance warning of the final stop in Sa Pa so passengers could be ready to depart, and was clear about how long we had at rest stops - he really was great. I have only 2 criticisms - and as far as I understand, they was not the fault of the bus company or conductor, rather because of the ticket I booked through Vexere - the pickup time I was given was 45 minutes before official departure (as is normal), but we actually passed by the exact same place and picked up more passengers around an hour later, having gone all the way around Ha Giang! It wasn't a big deal and I was comfortable (and I knew we'd be collecting more people after me because of my pickup time, just not that we'd be going part my exact stop again).. but who really wants an extra hour sitting on a bus for no reason? Also, when booking my seat the configuration on the app was incorrect so although the seat number I hadwas correct, it was not in the place I expected (opposite side of the bus, and a top bunk instead of bottom!) - it could have been user error on my part but if so it wasn't clear on the site, so be super-careful when selecting seats! Again, not the bus company's fault at all - everything about my journey was perfect.

Due to the flight delay and schedule disruption, I am extremely grateful to Ms. Phuong Thuy for her enthusiastic help, thanks to which I – a stranger – can smoothly complete the next trip. Thank you.

The bus ride was very comfortable. I saw the guys riding day and night without getting enough sleep, which was bad for their health, but they were still enthusiastic and cheerful during the trip. They encountered all sorts of situations. The day we went, it rained and saw electric poles falling and blocking them. The drivers worked together to temporarily build a car to pass by but found this job so miserable 🤣 I hope the driver raises their salary to have more motivation haha
