Fantastic, organized bus/speed boat trip. Highly recommend. Got a text the night before on wattsapp from the bus company which was fantastic so we had a number. Had to change the pick up point as It was pelting down rain, they were fine about it. Bloke made sure we were aon board, he spoke English. He gave out all the information first in Vietnamese and then in English. We went from Cat ba to Hanoi, had to get off the bus, onto the speed boat and then onto another bus. Well organized, great communication, fantastic trip.

Great trip with Express. The bus was very new (nice comfy seat) and in super clean condition. We were greeted by an English speaking person that came with us (he was going to his office on Cat Ba). We got some great tips for what to do on Cat Ba from him. We had a short 15 mins comfort break after 2 hours. Then another 30 mins before getting to the ferry point and on to the speed boat. We had our own dedicated speedboat that got us to the island in 8-10 mins. Then a short 30 mins bus ride into Cat Ba town. We were dropped off a short 5 min walk from our hotel. Overall great service and would highly recommend.
