Tam Coc to Hue Destination Reviews

Firstly the pick up was very unorganised. We were waiting exactly at the coordinates and the photo that was provided to wait for a pick up. We arrived at 10am and didn’t get picked up till 11.15 for our 10.30 departure. During this wait time I emailed and tried to contact the phone number but was unable to. When we finally got picked up it was by a car not a bus to take us to the bus. Very disorganised and no communication. Next it would have been nice to know when the stops were happening as there is no bathrooms on board so it is a bit distressing when you don’t know how long you have to wait. ( A suggestion would be to send it with the booking confirmation to clearly state how frequent the stops will be and for how long so people know what to expect and how much food to bring with them etc ) The bus was also very delayed we would have been arriving to Hue at 8.30pm but didn’t get there till 12.30am and this was meant to be the fast bus. But I will add we had to change our final destination while we were on board and they were very accommodating and made it easy for us to change.

The pickup place was not well labeled- no address was given and the name on the confirmation isn’t what is printed on the building. The bus was around an hour late for pickup and then stopped for nearly another hour after pickup, the seats were terribly uncomfortable and my spot was especially noisy. I was not impressed! I will not travel that way again.

Very narrow beds, no curtains, stains on the bed and the bus broke down to top it off.

It was a good experience however communication prior was non existent even after I reached out the day prior to confirm and being picked up was a bit confusing. Comfortable bus and plenty of bathroom breaks

Everything fine, only direct contact to the bus operator difficult. I booked Vin bus but the bus operator at the end was Thanh Trung travel with a different WhatsApp number. The ride was comfortable and the driver made a break every 2,5 h.

Overall everything went well, the driver was on time and drived with caution. We could sleep without trouble for most of the trip. There was just a long stop at the very beginning to load in a scooter which resulted in some luggages moved in the cabin.

The driver didn’t stop for a toilet break for 10 HOURS!! I don’t know how everyone made it through but I sat there dehydrated and thankfully slept to ignore that fact. I heard a man literally begging to go outside to smoke while the driver stopped for few minutes but they denied anyone to leave. Inhumane and unacceptable. The only good thing, the bus was on time. If you want to book with this company, don’t drink anything before the ride if you want to survive

Typical Vietnamese bus trip… Bus came late, driver was a CRAZY fker, drove so fast we arrived 3H ahead of schedule. Not good here on a sleeper bus as we arrived in the middle of the night without any sleep. And service is so poor as usual, guys rushing you out of the bus, throwing your bags and overall not giving a sht… what you’ll get in this country!

Here is the list of operators serving the route: .

How long does it take to get from Tam Coc to Hue by bus?

Buses normally need between 8h and 12h hours to get to Hue from Tam Coc. Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.

On this route, Viet Lao Bus offers the fastest service. TP Booking buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.

Remember, though, that tickets offering the shortest travel time are normally the most expensive ones. Yet it pays to spend a bit more to ensure your bus goes direct without additional stops and uses highways instead of local roads.

How much does it cost to get from Tam Coc to Hue by bus?

The price of your bus ticket will depend not only on the distance you need to cover but on the class of your coach. E.g. expect to shell out more for VIP or sleeper buses while ordinary buses though being the cheapest option, often are a compromise on comfort and travel time. Of course, they do their job, too, and can be the only option if you hop on/off in the middle of the route.

Anyway, travelling by bus between Tam Coc and Hue remains an affordable option. The cheapest ticket is offered by Trekking Travel and costs USD 19.35. A VietNam Travel Bus (Việt Nam Travel Bus)'s ticket will set you back USD 19.35 on average.

Travelling by bus essentials

If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
