Ninh Binh to Cat Ba Destination Reviews
KJ
Karen JWe were at time at Mike‘s Agency and the Bus driver arrived also 10 minutes early, and we thought, “great, we’re leaving now”. But that wasn’t really the case, because he brought us to another bus station and we had to get off the bus to wait for the right one, a coworker pointed us the bus and said “this is your bus” but another coworker said you have to wait first and then we were confused. Then I became a WhatsApp message from the company that it said that we had a large amount of luggage and we had to pay 200.000 VND, I sent a screenshot of the voucher where it said that every passenger was allowed two pieces luggage 20kg, and we had 4 luggage. We didn’t get an answer and we were able to board the bus, which had been there for 20 minutes. We had a bad experience with 12GO,

Tandy JThe first bus was run down and in some spots glued together. The 2nd bus was a lot nicer and both drivers were good. However we had booked a VIP limousine which in the pictures looked to be an extended van with only approx. 10 seats but what we recieved were two buses. Seems like false advertising.

Francis We had chosen this company for limousine rides.
In the end, we traveled in a van with our luggage between us. The last 40 minutes or so went much better once we changed buses.We are very disappointed with the trip.

Waverly WBus is extremely tight for anyone slightly taller. While the advertised time was 4 hours from Tam Coc to Cat Ba, our trip ended up taking 6 hours.

Chang SFull Moon Party bus was fantastic in its communication on pick-up point and time from my homestay. However, it's a basic bus, more suitable for backpackers. There is little legroom for the seats and you are squashed when the person in front reclines their seat. Upon reaching Cat Ba island, a staff from the company boarded the bus and facilitated the drop offs at or close to the hotels where the passengers are staying.
