Which journey suits you?
You can travel by road or rail. Think about the whole journey, including reaching the departure point and getting from the arrival stop to your homestay. A convenient pickup or drop-off can matter as much as the time spent traveling.
Car or arranged road transport
A good option when you'd like help coordinating the journey. Tell us where you're starting, whether you're arriving at the airport and how much luggage you have. We can help you compare available services and confirm whether a shared seat or a private vehicle best fits your plans.
Train
Rail services connect Hanoi and Ninh Bình. If you enjoy watching the landscape change through the window, consider this option. Check the current departure times and ticket availability, then plan your onward journey from Ninh Bình station.
Bus or shared van
A scheduled road service may fit travelers who are happy to work around set pickup points. Confirm the actual departure location, luggage allowance and arrival stop rather than assuming every service ends near your accommodation.
Traveling with a group
Compare the total cost for everyone and the practicalities of carrying bags. Send us the group size and any arrival requirements so we can help find a suitable vehicle or service, without guessing how much space you'll need.
What to send us when booking
Your travel date and preferred time: include your flight or train arrival details if you're making a connection. Leave room for baggage collection and delays.
Your pickup address: send the hotel name, map pin or airport terminal. Hanoi city pickups and airport pickups can have different arrangements and fares.
Your party and luggage: tell us how many adults and children are traveling, and how many large bags you have. Mention any child-seat needs so availability can be checked.
Your destination: confirm whether you're staying at Toffee or Tofu. They are separate locations, so the driver needs the correct address.
Make arrival easy
Save your homestay's map pin and our contact number before departure. Keep your booking confirmation available offline, and agree the meeting point with the transport provider. If your plans change, message us with the updated arrival time so we can help coordinate your check-in.
Don't pack too much into your first afternoon. Settle in, have a meal and choose a nearby coffee stop. Once you're rested, our scooter guide can help you plan a day out.
