Customer Reviews

If youโ€™re thinking about booking thisโ€”just do it! The houseboat was beautiful, the staff took care of everything, and the food? 10/10.

We spent the whole day just cruising, eating, and soaking in the views. Zero stress, 100% bliss!

We made the mistake of booking a cheaper boat tour first, and honestly, it was a disasterโ€”lots of waiting around, a super short route, and the boat wasnโ€™t even clean.

The next day, we decided to go for Backwater Club, and wowโ€”what a difference! The crew was amazing, the boat was spotless, and the route took us through the most beautiful, peaceful backwaters.

Wish we had booked this from the start!
