They picked us up from the airport in a small car, only me and my other travel partner. Then we went to downtown Hanoi to catch the bus. Stopped at rest stop to pee/get snacks. Got on ferry and then one more bus which brought us to our Cat Ba hostel.

Great communication from the get go. She confirmed my booking, and also accommodated my request for different pickup and drop off. Very kind lady that genuinely wished me a well trip. Drivers made sure we arrived on time. We were even early. If wanting the fastest way to go round-trip hanoi to hai phong, I'd recommend Luxury Van Limousine.

The ride was outsourced to Daiichi Travel. We were picked up 15 minutes before the set time, and brought to the Daiichi office where the bus was waiting. We received a goody bag with some water and bread. The tour guide spoke okay English and did his best to give us a pleasant ride. Everyone got dropped off at their hotel/hostel, which was a nice service. The chauffeur drove pleasant without any danger.

Pünktliche Abholung am Homestay in Cat Ba. Fahrer ist sehr ordentlich gefahren und der Guide sprach gutes Englisch. Absolut zu empfehlen. Nicht so toll war, der Supermarkt der zur Pause angefahren wird hat keine Preisschilder und die Dame an der Kasse macht unverschämte Touristenpreise. Aber das hat mit der Busfahrt an sich ja nichts zu tun.

The journey was pleasant and quick, but we were very cold on the bus as it was very cold.
