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.

Unexpected experience. We had an issue which we was able to resolve it via WhatsApp. Thanks for that

They changed the pickup time last minute and the van had some leaks in the rain so water dropped on me most of the ride.

The vehicle was clean and comfortable and on time. The communication was helpful. Due to the heavy rain there was a lot of water on the roads. At times it felt unsafe as the driving wasn't adjusted to suit the conditions.

From 4 hour Journey, it became 6 hours. No instructions on the meeting point, very unorganized at the ferry and they started dropping people off at their hotels, which made the journey even longer

Right 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.

The 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.

Overall, 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.

Everything was great except the coffee stop. You should choose another place more cleaner and more cheaper. We paid 60 000 Vnd for a very bad coffee that we throw away.

The support from the Cat Ba Discovery Bus Staff was brilliant. Communication before the trip was helpful, and when I left something on the bus, they helped me to recover it easily and quickly!

Communication 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!

Only inconvenience was the last bathroom break. The toilets over there were disgusting. I hope this is not the standard stop, if so I would recommend another location.

The 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.

We were transferred to another vehicle without being told so before. That was very surprising and the whole process is difficult to understand if the drivers speak only little English.
Also I got contacted from two different persons the day before pick-up and both told me that they will pick us up. But on the next day when I asked when the driver will be there, one contact person didn’t know of anything and also didn’t have the conversation from the day before.
That all was very confusing for me as a customer and didn’t feel good or trustful.

Few days before, the staff texted me to confirm the details and i am pleasantly shocked that they actually pick us up from hotel to transfer to the bus and vice versa. Everything went smoothly, no aggressive driving and limo is clean! On time too. Would recommend

This was hands down the best experience I've ever had. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The complimentary shuttle service was a huge plus — super convenient and right on time. The seats were incredibly comfortable, with a built-in massage function that made the ride feel luxurious. And on top of that, everything was super fast and efficient. I can’t recommend this enough!
