We had better guides before, this one was stressed out on the first part. We went from Cat Ba to Sapa. Don't expect to go the direct way, there is no info on the ticket about changing vehicles three times. First bus then boat then bus again to get to Hanoi, all vehicles were not really VIP, then two hours to wait on the "VIP" Bus to Sapa. The bus itself was nice but stopped several times on the way with people getting on and off talking loudly, making sure you know. Also arriving at 4am is not perfect.
