“Overall a great trip. The motorless boat is a fantastic and very peaceful way to experience the backwaters. The guide is friendly and very knowledgeable about local history and nature. The veg lunch is also very tasty.”

“A great experience and special compliments to the awesome guide Ms Greeshma for the excellent hospitality and taking us through the details of village life.”

“We had a great experience with Aslam. Picking us up at the cruise terminal (very easy) and taking us to a lot of great spots while explaining local culture. We got to see a lot of the “real” Kochi and understand how history has shaped the city. The trip to the laundry was especially memorable. Overall I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.”

“Although the driver was a pleasant and helpful man we didn't always understand his English. Also he wasn't a guide as we thought, more of a driver who simply told us when this church or mosque were built. All in all a little dissapointing.”

“We paid for things that were not included such as water and entry to the Dutch Palace. It seemed to be a blatant money grab, just taking us to stores where he got kickbacks for taking us there. Only a couple of highlights, we would steer well clear next time.”

“Shina was an excellent tour guide. Saw a lot and stopped at a couple of government sponsored shops plus a spice shop as well. Very good day all in all and would highly recommend his Cochin tour.”

“Great communication throughout the booking process. Our driver/guide was excellent very clear English and a great sense of humor. We felt perfectly at ease with him driving us through the streets. The trip does include some shopping stops so make it clear up front if you want these or not.”

“Honestly boring. The guide and the boatman wouldn't stop talking. Don't understand why this has high reviews. There were no backwaters explored, we were just on the main river. Highly don't recommend”

“Our driver was very happy,one of the reasons was he has 2 beautiful daughters. We had a wonderful time!”

“Great trip with Ashkar today. Pick up from cruise ship and went on great adventure exploring Cochin in his Tuk Tuk. Very pleasant, polite, helpful and experienced guide. We loved every moment. Highly recommended”

“Great tour with two lovely guides who were very attentive and spoke good English. We saw all the sites and had a really lovely trip and felt very safe throughout.”

“Fun. Personalized. Helpful. Our driver was really kind, knowledgeable and allowed us to decide what to do and where to go based on his suggestions.”

“Had a great day with Kebi and his Tuk Tuk! He met us at the port terminal and took us on a guided tour of the old city. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and he took us to many interesting places, a favourite being the fishing nets and fish market. It was very hot and humid but Kebi kept checking our welfare and we had a great time. It was a unforgetable trip and a fab way to see Kochin”

“We were with Jalish bhai and he was very good. He even helped us find a cheap place to do our laundry and was on time. His auto rickshaw was so clean and he took us everywhere. We felt safe with him and he was very polite.”

“A great start to the day with beautiful views and insight into local life and people. Our hosts were a joy to spend time with and there was a good balance of engagement but also letting us be in peace as we enjoyed the surroundings. BreaRead more”
