Dao Cat Ba to Tam Coc Destination Reviews

The coordination was fine. We got picked from the hotel and drop off at the hotel. Everything was on time. The problem was with the driver. The ride was super dangerous and scary, he drove super fast and not safe at all. We almost crashed more then few times. He should not be a driver!

The trip started well with a nice limousine. However, it took almost two hours to leave Cat Ba because all the passengers had to be picked up from different hotels. We also had to change limousine twice. The first time, we were almost left behind due to poor communication. The second time, we were put on the wrong bus and had to turn back and change vehicles again. Throughout the entire journey, there was a general lack of clear communication from the drivers about what was happening, which made the experience confusing and stressful.

Hey, we have arrived in nin binh. I just want to say that your driver is crazy. I have seen a lot of rough driving but this was quit extreme. I wouldn’t trust that guy on a bicycle. Further thank you for your service!
