Love Thafseer’s easy way and hussle free way! - This my honest opinion: met Thafseer outside cruise terminal, being a girl I was a bit apprehensive of having to negotiate with the tuk tuk drivers! Thafseer was kind, professional. Took us around and we had the best tour. Very relaxing, he was not pushy at all. Easy going and happy. Highly recommend him

The best way to see Old Kochi - tuk tuk with Thafseer! - Thafseer took me on a short and enjoyable tuk tuk tour tour of Kochi - for a small amount of money I have seen A LOT! All the local attractions and more (he even found a shop with Gujarati sweets, which I craved!). He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the local spots. He was also flexible and adjusted the itinerary according to the time I had. Honestly, this is the best way to see the old Kochi! Contact Thafseer and you will not be disappointed!

Shihab is the best!! - We met Shihab outside our hotel and he explained that we will be able to show us all of various sights around Kochi within half a day. And he was right! We managed to do everything we wanted plus more including Ginger Warehouse, Gujurati Rd (amazing snacks), Dhobi laundry. Would highly recommend Shihab to anyone - very friendly, good English, and has lots of friends in the city.

5 Star Travels in Kochi - We had a great time with Rahim and team(Sadiq & Saifuddin) All of them were very humble and polite. We were there for 6 good days and were able to explore best places in Kochi and Munnar. We would definitely recommend Little Kochi Tuk Tuk Tour as the best option if you are visiting Kerala. A big thanks to Rahim and team for amazing hospitality!
