Thank you Cat Ba Express and our guide Truong (Levi) for the great transport service between Hanoi and Cat Ba Town! - 10/10 for Cat Ba Express and for our guide Truong (Levi). Thank you for a smooth transportation between Cat Ba town and Hanoi and for the great service. When researching on the recommended transport options between Cat Ba and Hanoi, Cat Ba Express was recommended multiple times. I want to add my voice to those recommending this company. They responded promptly to my WhatsApp message, charged a reasonable fare ($13 USD for bus and speed boat ferry crossing), had comfortable buses, and dropped off passengers at their hotel in Hanoi.

Highly recommend for a stress-free transfer to Cat Ba Island - 5 star service from a professional team. A very convenient transfer to & from the island. The communication for pick up/collection from our hotels was perfect and made the experience seamless.

Best bus guide ever! - Booked a travel to Cat Ba from Hanoi with Cat Ba Express. Our guide, Troung, was amazing and went out of his way to provide us with recommendations for Cat Ba and provide us with an authentic experience. He definitely went above and beyond and I am so appreciative of his kind and helpful attitude. If you want a similar experience I recommend booking with Cat Ba Express.

Book with these guys - This transport from Hanoi to Cat Ba was a really positive experience. The bus was very comfortable and we had heaps of room. The staff were very polite, helpful and super punctual. We actually arrived a lot earlier than I expected and it just felt so easy. I’d highly reccomend using them if you want an easy simple transport

Pay attention to your luggage! - When Cat Ba returned and arrived in Hanoi, my suitcase had disappeared from the hold of the bus! Someone had accidentally taken it and shipped it to the airport! I was able to pick it up during the day but the Company should pay a little more attention to the luggage and make sure everyone leaves well with their suitcase! Apart from this problem, the AR transfer to Cat Ba went smoothly. If possible, they will drop you off as close as possible to your hotel.

I wouldn't recommend their transfer services - The guy who enter the hotel I'm staying at was very rude. Despite the front desk personnel was very slow. He got anfry, said I was late, say something in vietnamese and leave. Hotel staff helped me to find a taxi to go to Cat Ba Express office to catch the transfer to Cat Ba. Once we arrive, they drop me off about 150m away from my hotel and didn's explain where I should walk, to the right, to the left...

Nice bus but stopping for 30 minutes at shops ruined it! - It was good until the bus stopped for 30 minutes at a shopping place on the return to Hanoi. 30 minutes! No food there other than snacks. People Selling scarves and paintings etc. I don't like being forced to go shopping - it felt like a scam. We are all just sitting around waiting to go back on the bus. On the way to cat ba the bus also stopped for 30 minutes at a sort of food place but very few options. 30 minutes is way too long!! Makes the journey even longer. Not happy
