Beautiful houseboat, calm gentle meander through Aleppy’s canals, exceptional food. Perfect. - Enjoying the canals, the food, the pace. Interesting visually throughout. Kind staff, a perfect tasting menu for the area. Fish, vegetables, and bana fritters to end the day.

Beautiful! - Both my friend and I travelled to Guruvayur, Munnar, Thekkady, Allappey boat house and finally to Cochi. Srees Tours made all arrangements perfectly. The driver was very helpful and gave useful information throughout the journey. The hotels we stayed were splendid. This is my fourth time coming to Kerala with Srees Tours. Every trip has been memorable and Srees Tours makes the extra effort to make each trip beautiful!

Phenomenal experience - Last Christmas (Dec 2022), I and my family took the Sree hourboats for a day trip to Kumarakom and Allepey back waters. The trip started on time. All the rooms were very neat and tidy. We chatted with the cooks while there were preparing lunch which was just awesome - fish curry, chicken and other vegeterian items tasted like home made food. My nieces spent a lot of time on the 2nd floor of the boat, which was open and loved it. The overall experience was phenomenal and I would highly recommend to others.

Not really quiet backwaters but still worth a visit - Initial communication wasn't great, our driver from Kochi wasn't told where we were going and when we artived at Alleppey Canoe Ville, we had to show them the boat we were supposed to have and then wait for it to artive. Apart from that it was a good day. There are points at which you are just one out of a large number of boats all just avoiding each other, but the 'driver" was nice and the chef did a fantastic job of preparing a vegan lunch (rice, salad, poppadoms, 5 other dishes including cabbage thoran and various veg curries, followed by fruit). Aside from a welcome fruit juice, the only drinks provided are water, tea and coffee, but we believe you can pre-order others at extra cost.
