Travel from Hanoi to Halong to Cat Ba and back!
We had a seamless and convenient experience with HTS! Lily was so helpful and quick to provide us support or answer any questions we had. She also ended up setting up service for us for additional transfers across Hanoi and Cat Ba Island. She was amazing! Thank you, Lily! They even helped us with our luggage on and off the ferry and made sure we had a safe and happy journey the entire time.

Friendly professional always on time
We had a great experience booking 3 trips with Hanoi Transfer Service. Lily was quick to respond on WhatsApp and arrange services: We chose the Kia Carnival for our family of 5 and it was very comfortable. Our driver Mr. Ben was friendly, professional and always on time. We were very happy with the service and will book again if we come back to Hanoi. Than you!

Very Reliable & Good Communication
From my first inquiry, I received quick and clear responses. Anna helped me schedule my round trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay. I needed to make changes and she was able to accommodate me. Mr. Tuan was kind enough to return to the airport to bring me my glasses that had fallen out of my bag. I’m very glad I used this service. Plus, the rate was reasonable.

100% recommended!
During our trip in Vietnam we had 4 transfers with this company. We had a contact person Lily with whom we communicated through WhatsApp. She patiently answered all my questions. She was always available and gave us in time the necessary info. As an extra she helped us with a luggage issue although it took a lot of her effort. 3 of 4 transfers we had with driver Mr. Hung. This young man was always in time, drives safely and responsibly. During a long ride he stopped in time and he never was on his phone. He drove carefully, although not easy in Vietnam. We were lucky to have him as a driver. We recommend their service for a 100%.

Excellent service and professionalism
We had excellent experience from the Hanoi Transfer Service. Ms Minh coordinated so well that we did not face any issue anywhere during the trip. We communicated in english comfortably with them.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private transfer between Hanoi and Halong start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
