Well organized and a fun journey The scenery following the the coast was a gem. To cap it there was an entertainment carriage complete with two singers decorated Vietnamese style with cuisine and beverages for sale. The train stops half way to allow a stretch and photo session. The diesel love dates back to 1968. A great experience

Go to station early incase of ticket issues

Sharon_M, Jul 2026

We almost missed the train due the station not being able to find the tickets we purchased through Viator. The train ran late making us late for our return journey. 1 st half of the trip had beautiful views, the 2nd is less spectacular. Staff on the train were great Seats are very comfortable

This is a company who...

Alexis_C, Jun 2026

This is a company who books your ticket for you. The views are beautiful if you’re on the right side of the train. Otherwise it can be hard to see because people will close the curtains and sleep. It has one long stop in the middle.

Journey to o Hoe

Mark_S, Mar 2026

Although maybe a slightly long at 3 and a half hours the scenery was spectacular. Don't make the mistake we made thinking it was a return journey. That said our tour operator secured us a shuttle bus to get us home at reasonable cost.

Would not recommend

MaryLee_B, Mar 2026

Would not suggest. I had tried on several occasions the two months previous to contact the tour company via Viator, WhatsApp and email and I received no answer. It was only a few days before the train ride that I got a message from the tour company to say that the time of the train changed.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Mary, We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. However, this information was unexpected from Vietnam Railways, and we informed you immediately upon receiving it. This information was not pre-determined, so we appreciate your understanding.

Lovely experience

Lauren_C, Mar 2026

Lovely experience. Viet the tour guide was so helpful when I needed my ticket changing and got it sorted for me within minutes. Live music on board, food and amazing views!

Let the train take the strain

Lesley_R, Mar 2026

Fabulous way to travel between Hue and Da Nang getting to experience the more rural places and travelling over the Hai Van Pass

Scenic mystical railway journey

Train is quite slow and...

Ouville_L, Jan 2025

Train is quite slow and waiting time is sometimes too long in some stops while waiting for opposite train to pass

A slow ride through some lovely areas

Lesli_S, Jan 2025

I expected some commentary or something as it was a sightseeing train but it was just a regular train trip. Had the weather been clearer the views would have been great though - so I would still say this was a good way to get from Danang to Hue.
