5.00Had an amazing private day in Cochin with our wonderful Tuk Tuk driver and tour guide Sabeer!! We got to see all of the highlights, took a private boat tour, saw the local wildlife. Throughout the tour Sabeer was brilliant, showing us all the local sites. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic tour!

5.00We enjoyed our tour with Freddy in the tuk tuk! He was a great driver on the sometimes crazy roads of Kochi! It is a really fun way to see the city and a unique experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see Kochi up close and personal!
Excellent tour

5.00Our tuk tuk driver, Saber, was excellent - friendly, helpful and drove us around Cochin safely. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and seeing the sights of Cochin.

5.00We had a lovely trip with Freddie and Sadil who were excellent and flexible guides. We went on a Sunday and saw local people enjoying their free time. Yes the the tuk tuk ride was an experience but it did make you feel as though you had been immersed in part of everyday life in Cochin. . I never once felt unsafe - just a different way of managing traffic which works perfectly. The only thing I would say is the backwater tour was not as I had expected - not as rural but was relaxing nonetheless - don’t expect to see masses of wildlife in an idyllic setting. Overall I would highly recommend this trip.
Good tour for most

3.00Tuk tuk travel is ok for short distances and moderate traffic, but we also went on full speed highways. We dodged death several times including when the driver went the wrong way on a one way street so I would recommend this for adrenaline junkies as well as curious visitors. We covered all the sights and the driver tried hard to communicate with some success. If you understand Indian driving techniques and are ok with that, the trip works. I would say not for novice Indian travelers (our 4th trip to India). Limited backwater trip is a total waste of time. This is not really a backwater trip.
A great tour!

5.00Had a great tour with Biju who was a very good driver and guide. Drove 20km out of Fort Kochi to the backwaters and had a lovely hour looking at the birds and local fishermen. Then back into town where he pointed out the colonial architecture and stopped at the main sights for us to get out and see. He was also very happy to take us to a pharmacy en route! A very interesting 4 hours and I would highly recommend.
Tuk Tuk Delight

4.00Sabeer was a good driver and took us all around Cochin. He had limited knowledge of the sights which mostly had explanations in English. But he made a good effort to show us some places not on the list to better understand the city.
Exceeded our expectations.

5.00Amazing tuktuk driver - friendly,knowledgeable, helpful & went out of his way to make some wonderful memories for us. Followed by a lazy meander around the backwaters for an hour - just us & the captain of his boat. Amazing day, and well spent.
