Amazing trip, the guide was fantastic and the boat and food onboard was lovely. The two men on the boat who prepared our food were fantastic. The views are stunning and I definitely recommend. The travel time is long (1.5 hours there and just over 2 hours back due to traffic) however it was a comfortable journey in an air conditioned mini bus.

Chris our guide was the best yet, the experience of being on the houseboat in Kerala was a highlight of our cruise. The boat and crew exceptional. If you have the chance to do this you should. Thank you

A great tour, with a long bus ride to the House Boats, but once there and on board an excellent experience. Our tour guide Jude was very knowledgeable and was able to get us on one of the Chinese Fishing Nets.

Terrific trip! Pick up at the cruise port was smooth and, after seeing the Chinese Fishing Nets, we proceeded to the house boats. Long ride, but we had a good driver. Boarded a smaller boat that took us to the house boat, where we settled in for a relaxing 2-hour ride in the canals around Kochi. The boat had two bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom. Very nice! The chef cooked up a nice lunch (included) with a variety of local dishes, including KFC, Kerala Fried Chicken. Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to heard and understand. Well worth the price!
