We offer free pick-up at any hotel located within the Hanoi Old Quarter. If you are staying outside this area, we will provide a convenient meeting point nearby.
We drop off at all hotels in Cat Ba Town. If your hotel is located on the main road leading into town, the driver can also drop you off directly in front of your accommodation.
