This bus trip was excellent. However, it left at 16:15, not 17:00. I only found out 4 hours before departure after receiving a text from Good Morning Cat Ba.

The scheduled departure time was 09:00. We arrived at 08:35, but the bus left without any notification. Fortunately, there was still space on the 12:00 bus, which we were able to take

From booking and the communication, pick up and the rest of the whole process was great. PLEASE keep this up as our host on the coach was good, keeping us informed. Nice stop half way at a very good stop with facilities. Drop off was good, a little further from our hotel than I would have liked, but understand the Hanoi traffic at 16:30 is crazy.

An excellent company and I highly recommend. They have a guide following you the entire journey (bus/ferry/bus). We had Nam in both directions to and from Cat Ba and he was absolutely fantastic, making sure everything ran smoothly and keeeping us all well-informed. His English was very good. A stop in each direction on the main bus leg out of and into Hanoi and Nam was very clear about timings, so everyone was back on board at the allotted time. Our big bus was full in both directions. We had the same driver both times and felt really safe in his hands. The main bus is indeed very clean and with comfortable reclining seats in excellent condition. One 500ml of water is provided. What’s App communication was efficient for them to reconfirm the day before travel and if you have any queries re pick-up/drop-off possibilities, they respond very quickly.
