Reviews
The driver was very polite and hospitable, the boat staff were also very friendly, the lake view was quiet and pleasant, and the lunch was so delicious. The value for money is super high!!!
Pros: We had a very nice tour on the backwaters. The driver was on time and professional, and the staff on the boat were very nice. The lunch was great as well. Overall it was a really relaxing experience. Cons: After making the booking, the organizer tried to charge me extra for a pick up at my hotel which is included, then tried to get me to do a group tour for the private tour price. I said no, and they stuck to what they advertised, but very unprofessional to try and get more money for something that's included when it's already a very expensive tour.
Starting at 9:00 in the morning, the family took a big cruise ship and had a good lunch. It was also very good as a foreigner. Actually on the boat for about 4 hours, the scenery is charming.
Worth the trip: Our driver arrived at the hotel on time, was comfortable in the car, and introduced us to the chat along the way. 1.5 hours to go. The houseboat was clean and tidy, very comfortable. Because only the two of us took the bus in the off-season. The captain, chef and assistants are all friendly. We had a great time. The Klook system is easy to use, the price is fair (we have compared prices locally), and the confirmation is fast! I really recommend it to everyone!
Good way to visit this city, very special, we had a good day here.
Some river conditions are not so good, the president has a lot of plants like plants, houseboats are more special, you can experience it.
Boat house is very special shape, the staff is also very warm service, the river really Tingduo side, worth participating
It is very special, comfortable and relax tour.
Good experience, very convenient in the guest book! ~
