Good views and nice people - Did the 6pm cruise which allowed us to see the sunset and nightlife along the river. Communication beforehand was very clear and efficient. People on board were nice and gave us space to enjoy the boat to ourselves

We had fun but there were problems. - We had fun, the people were nice and the views were nice but there were problems. When we arrived we had a hard time finding the driver. Also there was a rat on the boat which made us scared.

Boat tour / rickshaw - Was nice to have the boat to ourselves, but no water was offered nor did we go past the mu pagoda the 1st part of river coconut island was dirty smelly and took us away from the nicer area. Rickshaw was good bit scary as bikes and cars get close very polluted too. The market and area were ok nothing special but nice to see the area. Rickshaw drivers worked hard so gave them a tip.

Poor service, although nice people.. - They tried to put us on a group tour when we arrived, I had booked and paid for a private tour. They Conducted repairs on the boat during tour, hammering loudly for about half of the boat ride. The other half of the trip they spent selling us items on the boat. I get that they are making money for themselves but it actually felt like we were on a floating market as opposed to a relaxing sunset boat ride. the whole experience was not value for money..,
