“It was alright . Nice to see the temples by the riverside . But the boat ride itself was just so so. Nothing super fancy. I got the lower level not sure why or how. There was no option while booking to pick the upper level. Food was ok, not bad but nothing spectacular. The staff were super friendly and very courteous which was great. The boat itself was nice. But it was crowded and the boarding process was kinda chaotic . Standing randomly behind people with numbered signs and you’re not clearly told much.”
