There is no boat ride inside the floating market included. The longtail boat goes outside the market where is nothing interesting. Also by the floating market if you decide to pay extra for a paddle boat which goes inside the market - because this is what everybody wants to do there, you board on and off the boat on some very side pier where is basically nothing appart of few stalls. You are not in the central paet of the market what we logically expected. We already did this trip with another provider last October and was much better. This one was dissappointing
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. Our itinerary has been adjusted based on operational considerations and to provide a smoother experience while avoiding the busiest and most crowded areas whenever possible. We understand that some guests expect the boat to pass through the busiest part of the floating market, especially if they have visited before with a different provider. Every tour operator may use a different route and itinerary, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for your comments. Your feedback helps us continue improving our tours and ensuring our descriptions are as clear as possible for future guests.
