What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Cat Ba Discovery?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
-
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
-
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
-
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
-
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
-
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
-
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
-
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Cat Ba Discovery Company Reviews

Annie LThe driver was an hour late picking us up. We were last to get picked up. They had issues with luggage because some of the other passengers. They packed too much so they had no room for ours. They stored our luggage inside the vehicle in the aisle area which made it difficult for the other passengers to go in and out. They had to step on our luggage to get out. Thankfully our luggage was ok.

Flo YPickup was late and the driver did not drop me off at my hotel, claiming that cars could not go down the road where the hotel was located. That claim turned out to be false.

owen MHe drove around Hanoi for over an hour with no idea where he was going and wouldn’t admit he was lost and then we arrived at the airport with 3 minuets to check in our bags before it closed despite getting on the bus 4 and a half hours earlier for a 2 hour trip

Michelle SIt was confusing. There were 3 mini-buses involved, not of which was a "limousine". I was expecting a private car. The first mini bus was about 30 mins late so then drove very fast and erratically to the next stop, where we were told to change mini-buses. This time it was called a "limousine" - it was a very comfy mini-bus. I was falling asleep when we stopped again. I thought it was a toilet stop but we got transferred yet again, this time to a car. However, we made it to the airport earlier than expected.

Jonas RI accidentally booked for the wrong day and only noticed half an hour before departure. Immediately after reaching out to Cat Ba Discovery on whatsapp, they organized a different bus for my party of 3 on the same day, departing at the same time as I originally booked. 10/10 customer support

Marie RWe booked the vip limousine and had to sit the 2 hour drive in the front with the driver. This was not what we booked and we had not much room.

Christian KDriver was on time. First I was shocked because they packed us with 5 people and the luggage in a car. But they only drove us to the bus. The bus was also a bit full, some luggage had to stay in the isle, but it didn't bother. They even drove me to my accommodation which was some km away from the final destination of the bus. I can recommend.

Sarah LI was extremely disappointed that after booking this service a month prior and regular messages with operators about drop off hotel details they waited until we were on board to say that they would no longer be able to drop us at our hotel. I had been messaging the night before! There is some street closures in the city on the weekends but our section was not affected. We were told to pick one of two drop off points then find transport from there.

Jared TRight after the booking they contacted me about the trip. Then, nothing. I received no driver confirm and no van plate confirm. I reached out the night before to find out what time I would be picked up and got no response. Hours later I called and someone answered after about 10 rings. Then the line was silent. Got a message from another WhatsApp number saying they couldn’t contact me because their line was blocked. And then nothing. I asked for driver info they said ok and then nothing. The morning of pickup came and still nothing. Then finally from a third number got van confirm that said I would be picked up in 20 min. He arrived in 3 min. It was so frustrating with lack of communication. Will pick different company next time. There are plenty to choose from.

Alexandra SThe service was incredibly well organized. I booked transportation by bus and ferry to Cat Ba. We had a typhoon that caused a shutdown of all ferry services, but I didn’t even notice it because the bus took us directly to a cable car, which we took instead. Another bus was waiting for us on the island.

Roger ZOverall, the trip was great. The limousine was clean and almost new. The idea of picking up and dropping off in the place each passenger stays is amazing. But the driver rode too fast in Tam Coc. It is not the place to ride fast, was unnecessary and generate peril to the other people who was cycling or walking.

Bastian DCommunication was excellent. We even were taken from our Hotel in Hanoi to our home stay in nihn bihn, no extra cost.
Therefore however the departure and arrival time can differ as multiple stops have to be considered with multiple people going. But the communication is really quick and not a hussle at all.
We even booked the way back again because we were really satisfied and can absolutely recommend!

Marlous DThe bus was more then an hour late and the people working on the bus we’re very rude. Pushing us in and shouting in Vietnamese. The sleeping cabins were too small for most westeners (even I with my 170cm lenght could not fully stretch out) and the beds were very small.
