“Naien our guide was very nice and gave us lots of explanations of everything we had questions for. During the Pagoda visit there was lots to learn, good experience. The boat ride itself was calm and easy going, very relaxing. Unfortunately due to cloudy weather there was no sunset so we were unable to see that part of the cruise. Overall very relaxing and easy.”
