A wonderful day out - Zakki was a fantastic, knowledgeable, tour guide. He took us to a variety of scenic and culturally significant places as well as several spots we would never have known existed without his guidance. He introduced us to some genuinely friendly locals and business owners. He also gave us some handy tips and made us feel safe.

Insightful and worthwhile tour - What an interesting day. We experienced lots of sights with an English speaking guide. We had a beautiful lunch in the local family's house. The family were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. We were shown through their house and the attached Yoga studio. Only suggestions I have is for them to write on the advert that they pick up at the ship, not the Fort . (I had difficulty ascertaining this despite my emails) - and the meal options could have been explained in more detail. I found the chicken too hot.

Best Tuktuk Tour in Cochin - Aslam represented the best of Cochin. We probably wouldn’t have enjoyed our experience as much if it wasn’t for his professionalism, knowledge, warmth and friendliness. Our time in Kerala was too short. I would definitely go there again and have Aslam show us more of this beautiful paradise.

The best way to see Cochin! - We had an excellent tour of Cochin by Tuk Tuk, saw all the sights, even had a go at bringing in the Chinese fishing nets, and had a really good Chicken Biryani for lunch provided by the Viator Agent. Seeing the city in a Tuk Tuk is hair-raising but it had to be done! Driver was very experienced and safe though. Great value for money, only 'slight' negative was that the driver could not speak particularly good English, next time we will make sure we get someone who could answer our questions.
