Driver was on time and made a huge effort to get us on the ferry despite guests who were late. He was a very aggressive driver though and we ended up carsick

Comfortable, fast and got dropped off at our hotel. The ferry from Catba to the mainland took forever though. Didn’t get any free water.

Bus picked us up on time and made a few more stops to pick up people at their hotel. The bus drives right on the ferry. One stop for a bathroom break. (This is my trip from Cat Ba to Ninh Binh)

We booked the bus and then they texted us that it was not available anymore so we got a normal bus. They said we give we 50k back. I did not accepted it. Also we booked the bus at 2pm, but there was no bus for that time so we had to pick a different time

Contrary to our tour dem Hanoi to Cat Ba we had very few information about the schedule. It would have been nice to know how the itinerary is (e. g. That we would taknetje ferry this time).

We were picked up on time, with a text message and phone call beforehand as a reminder. We've had better drivers, but the coordination with the accommodation to ensure we were picked up was perfect. The instructions were clear.
