Tony_h, Aug 2025

Afternoon tea was so nice, staff are brilliant We arrived 30 minutes early and it wasn’t a problem to board and get into the air conditioned dining

Informative, friendly, relaxing.

Jason_G, Jul 2025

Lovely experience with a basic afternoon tea, wonderful staff and hostess. She made every effort to speak to us directly in English so we could keep up with everyone else. We wish we brought cash on board to tip. Felt really bad not being able to thank them for a great experience. Like everywhere in Vietnam in July, the aircon struggled to keep up, but it was around 36 degrees in the afternoon sun, dress lightly for this time of the year.

Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery

Shaday_S, Mar 2025

Cruising along the Huong River while enjoying delicious tea, fruit, and snacks was such a relaxing way to enjoy our first afternoon in Hue. I booked this for me and my mother for her birthday, and she had a great time learning about the city's landmarks and taking in the beautiful surroundings. The boat and staff were lovely, and I would definitely recommend the trip.

Lovely and a great way to spend an afternoon
