The cruise experience was disappointing; the food consisted largely of finger foods rather than what we would reasonably consider dinner, there was no narration or information about the landmarks we passed, and several guests expressed similar dissatisfaction during the evening. Combined with the confusion at check-in and the lack of explanation regarding our reservation, the overall experience did not represent good value and fell well below our expectations. Our Ticket, Ticket Details, and Confirmation Email all showed a multi-event itinerary: 'Dinner Cruise, Cyclo and Puppet Show'; however, we only got the Dinner Cruise. I requested a partial refund and Viator informed me that the operator denied my request. I asked Viator to offer a goodwill gesture for a long time customer, and that was denied, too. Instead of taking accountably for the total system failure, Viator is trying to blame me, stating that I mistakenly booked a 'wrong tour grade' whatever that means. My advice to you is save your money and book the Cyclo and Puppet Show separately, or seek better experiences elsewhere. My honest opinion, the cruise was underwhelming, the food was more snack-like than a true dinner, there was no commentary about the city, and the sights we passed along the way. We ate at the dock, not while cruising, so the name of the tour 'Dinner Cruise' is deceptive. The cruise started at 8:00 p.m., and dinner started before our 7:00 p.m., arrival.
Aqua Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. With her wonderful friendliness and great sense of humor, she made everyone feel comfortable and happy from the very beginning. Thanks to her, we all enjoyed a truly joyful, relaxed, and memorable day. A great professional who really made the experience special.
