We booked a limousine service but have been sitted in the front next to the driver - no legroom anymore so we overpaid for no better service. Make sure that you will get the right places in the bus.

We arrived 2 hours late at the destination. This had nothing to do with weather, as it was sunny and great weather. This was purely bad planning (left late, missed the ferry etc). Also no notification that we would leave late. “Luxury” bus was nothing luxury. When arriving on Cat Ba the driver even put the AC off “to safe energy”, but making the bus crazy warm.

In general ride was very ok. One stop, fast boat and delivered directly to the hotel. But departure in confirmation we have 8:00 am and they were calling to us at 7:25 why we not on the spot cause on 7:30 their leaving. Fortunately they waited for us
