5.00It was good that they picked me up at a specific hotel. I was able to communicate with the guide in advance via WhatsApp, so I was able to confirm that there was no misunderstanding about the time and location. He was very knowledgeable, he knew a lot about the places we were visiting and explained the exhibits to us.

5.00An excellent way to see the city. I was travelling alone so I booked a tour. Sid was my tour guide, he arrived in a car with a driver, and the driver stayed with us throughout the tour. I felt safe with them. The driver expertly navigated the crazy traffic and Sid escorted me around the palace and museums. A thoroughly enjoyable experience! Would definitely recommend.

5.00Siddharth was my tour guide and confirmed the same the evening before and also our meeting time. The tour was four (4) hours and took in local attractions being museum, art gallery, temples and surrounds. Siddharth provided great commentary and history on all of the attractions visited. This tour was good for someone visiting Trivandrum for a short time.
Great tour for those on a time limit

5.00The guide was very personable, very knowledgeable, and considerate of our ignorance for the culture of the city. The tour took just under 4 hours. We could not have asked for a better experience. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is on a time crunch but wants to experience the city and its history.
