Top Kochi City Tours

"It was a wonderful 4 days, packed full with travel & sightseeing, new experiences, wonderful accomodation & kind people. We would heartily recommend this short tour"

"This tour was a great last minute option for us as it provided for everything end to end. From the minute we left our Pune hotel to the minute we arrived back we were guided - except obviously on the airplane. The pick up in Delhi airport was waiting and Prem our driver gave us a fantastic welcome, including flower leis and snacks for the road trip to Agra including beers and water. Our tour guide Mahesh joined us in Agra and the he provided a very detailed knowledge and understanding of the Taj and its history. Starting early the next day made all the difference particularly with the crowds. He has a real passion for the city and being a local and part of the culture makes a difference. The shopping was good as well and it gives you the opportunity to experience some of the history of the arts and crafts of that era. Just be weary that if you express the least bit of interest in an item the sales men willl force it on you. Dont be afraid to force a haggle. One item went from 2400 to 1000 and you can potentially go lower buy walking away. All in all it is a very efficient, easy and safe way to get around Agra. On the way back as we wanted to visit a few places in Delhi the guide was ok for us to get lunch on the go from anywhere included in the trip so we could do that which is the part of the beauty and flexibility of the Indian people. Pick up from the hotel a bit earlier in Pune would have seen us be able to factor in a few other things into Delhi or relax a bit more when we arrived in Agra. Be prepared for a very active 48 hours but well worth the trip. Even Raj, the travel coordinator kept tabs on us the whole way via WhatsApp making sure we arrived after flights and to hotels every step of the way. He was also in constant contact with the tour guide and driver making sure everything was fine all the way to arrival back at your Pune hotel. Thanks Raj, Mahesh and Prem we had a great time and look forward to the next experience."

"Both the Guide and the Driver were very informative, and helpful with a member of the party who had a bit of a mobility issue. After the tour was over, we went out for lunch and they offered to pick us up after, to drop us back to the hotel. Great time."

"Didn’t get to kochi, cancelled trip as cruise was terminated by Indian government. Not much to say really. Your other trips were excellent so I am sure this one would have been"

"Very frendly and helpfull driver . Speak english and know everything Kochi. If you need anything xtra , just ask him. We ordered 3 separated tuk-tuk and The other 2 driver is soo xcellent too."

"Amazing trip, the guide was fantastic and the boat and food onboard was lovely. The two men on the boat who prepared our food were fantastic. The views are stunning and I definitely recommend. The travel time is long (1.5 hours there and just over 2 hours back due to traffic) however it was a comfortable journey in an air conditioned mini bus."

"The Dutch Palace and the Chinese fishing nets. The every day life of the people. The food that they eat and how they obtain it."

"It's a MUST if you want to see what life is really like in this part of India. Great guide and driver (how does he do it?) Air Conditioned mini bus from the cruise terminal. The journey took over an hour and a half on busy roads and populated villages but what an experience. Stopped to see an elephant at a Buddhist temple and then boarded the House boat with two other couples. Amazing two hours on the river seeing wildlife, countryside and people washing and bathing. Lovely local dishes served for lunch before setting off for the journey back calling at Cochin Fort area and the Chinese fishing nets. It's a must do and big thanks to the guide Ram ? driver, boat crew and Viator for a fabulous day."

"The tour guide was knowledgeable. It was a peaceful ride with only the sound of nature. Very zen experience."

"Loved this trip. Everyone from the tour guide, the driver and the staff on the houseboat did an amazing job. The lunch on the houseboat cooked on board in I might add a very small kitchen was absolutely delicious and so authentic of the area. Well done."

"Saleem was very polite, kind and informative. Made the tour extremely interesting. Would do it again!"

"This was an amazing trip, met at the ship and taken on the tour in comfortable transport the ship did the same tour for 3 times the price The food on the houseboat was amazing, much better than expected, everyone cleared their plates and went up for seconds, a good look around the local area on our way back to the ship."

"The tour itself &the food served was delicious. The staff was humble & very caring. We will definitely come back & tell our friends about our good experience."

"This tour is really good for people looking for a relaxing day on a boat. Prepare your camera because this tour is not short of a good time and an interesting peek into the lives of the people in Kerala. I saw people bathing in the river, washing their clothes there, and of course, saw many other boats and people on house boats. The weather wasn't great when we went, but it got hot when the sun was out. Also, the food on the boat was amazing. If you are vegetarian, there is definitely a vegetarian option, but I don't know about gluten free."

"With our limited time to see Kochi it was important for us to have a quick tour of the area to take in all of the key sights - this is certainly what we received and more! it was great to be shown the area by a professional and knowledgeable guide - Nahas. We slightly adapted the set route so that we could do the tour quicker, and the guide and driver were more than happy to do this for us. We were a group of 3 ladies and felt safe at all times with Nahas! Highlights of the trip were the Chinese Fishing nets, the family visit, the tuk tuk ride and the spice market! Experiencing India with a guide is completely different to hitting all of the tourist traps and i cannot recommend this tour enough! A top tip would be to have some INR with you so that you can tip each of the people you meet with but this is not essential - it is just a nice thing to do! The transportation used was safe and clean, and the air con was great! our driver was the first we have had in India where we felt safe and he took care to ensure we always knew where he had parked to wait for us. I cannot wait to visit India again soon!"

"I took this tour on my first day in Kochi. What I liked about this tour is that the driver/guide (Shaheer) was so flexible that you can customize the tour almost the way you like it. You can add the excursions that you prefer and choose to spend more/less time on the locations visited as you prefer. During the tour, you feel safe from scams as the driver will give you honest advice before you get off to your next point. I do recommend this tour to everybody visiting Kochi."
