We returned home safely from a truly memorable trip. May we thank you sincerely for all you help and planning as it was a great holiday. Robin was a 1st class guide and you have a beautiful country, everything ran so smoothly and the hotels and boat were excellent. We didn't want to leave and we will surely come back soon to see so many other parts of the country. Many thanks again.

Excellent staff: always very polite & attentive and smart uniforms. They made us feel very welcome & valued. Excellent ship management and very happy atmosphere.

It's very well designed and very comfortable. The cabins are good sized and in room facilities are excellent. Great food and a nice variety. The only thing I would recommend is that you offer tea & coffee after the evening meal when serving desert. The staff are very friendly, helpful, polite and very well-dressed. Nothing is too much trouble. Brilliant staff. Visit to the villages are fascinating and provide a good insight into the life of the ordinary people.
