They should be all more or less the same, although in some case they
provide a better boat and better food based on what I heard. I would
just walk around the old town of Hanoi (north of the Hoan Kiem lake),
visit a few travel agencies and compare the offerings.
In the hotel they might try to sell you an overpriced tour.
