Very comfortable bus ride.... - Very comfortable bus ride. You will be picked up directly from the hotel in Hanoi, taken to the bus, you can decide whether to take the ferry to Cat Ba Island or by cable car (small extra charge) and then be taken to the hotel in Cat Ba! Super Service!

Thank you Cat Ba Express and our guide Truong (Levi) for the great transport service between Hanoi and Cat Ba Town! - 10/10 for Cat Ba Express and for our guide Truong (Levi). Thank you for a smooth transportation between Cat Ba town and Hanoi and for the great service. When researching on the recommended transport options between Cat Ba and Hanoi, Cat Ba Express was recommended multiple times. I want to add my voice to those recommending this company. They responded promptly to my WhatsApp message, charged a reasonable fare ($13 USD for bus and speed boat ferry crossing), had comfortable buses, and dropped off passengers at their hotel in Hanoi.

Pay attention to your luggage! - When Cat Ba returned and arrived in Hanoi, my suitcase had disappeared from the hold of the bus! Someone had accidentally taken it and shipped it to the airport! I was able to pick it up during the day but the Company should pay a little more attention to the luggage and make sure everyone leaves well with their suitcase! Apart from this problem, the AR transfer to Cat Ba went smoothly. If possible, they will drop you off as close as possible to your hotel.

No pick up from hotel although they told us before that that is possible - We went from cat ba to Hanoi and they wanted us to walk at 35 degrees to the Main Road and didn’t picked us up from our hotel which was only 800m distance to the main road. The hotel manager told us that this is not normal and that all other Bus companies picked passengers up directly from the hotel. After the terrible start, the way to Hanoi was ok!
