Ninh Binh to Cat Ba Pier Destination Reviews

JF
Good communication and flexibility when dealing with them. They pick us up in the homestay with a very good car and took us to their office in Ninh Binh where the bus took us to Cat Ba. The bus was not very modern but ok for the price. The driver was easy going and kind. He stopped once in the way for around 15min for toilet and snacks. They dropped us in front of the accommodation in Cat Ba which was a good surprise. They also gave us lots of small bottles of water. I would say it's a simple transfer but they are committed in delivering a good service. I would recommend.

Lovely staff, efficient journey with one stop. Bus was clean and comfortable but small leg room for taller people like myself.

The photos shown on the website of the bus do not correspond to reality. The bus was late for almost an hour.

They didn’t tell me about Bus change 2 hours after departure. The driver didnt tell us anything at all because they can’t speak English. After 2 hours everybody got out the bus and suddenly my luggage was lying next to the bus. I tried to ask what’s going on. Nobody could help me because of the language barrier. Nonetheless the beds in the bus were comfy and clean. We even had a stop for dinner.
