Good communication from the operator. Great value for money. Two buses and a speed boat with seamless transfers. Arrived at our destination safely.

Bus ended up being close to 2 hours late and very full. Bags in the aisles and not much leg room!

Comfortable, clean, a little bit too late (1hour) but a little bit chaotic. Daiichi told, that they drive to our hotel in Old Quarter but they did not.

In general good service. But lot of time wasted to pick up everyone at there hotel in Cat Ba, I thought it was done before 8:30 (the time booked) that's why we went to pick up point directly. Arrived about 30min later the time indicated. Travel a bit tireing as you have to change from bus then ferry then bus again.

Bus too small for all the luggage, arrival 70 minutes too late because of luggage chaos in the isle and too many passengers. Boat ride was ok though. Thanks anyhow for bringing us safely to Hanoi.

I booked a small bus (Limousine 11) and was transferred on a large bus instead, without information and at the price of the small bus. I had to request the refunding of the difference and I didn't get all refunded.
