Great Tour, very interesting, friendly and informative guide Sundie. short walking tour of Kochin, and then long coach drive to
pick up the Houseboat but this gave us the chance to see more of the country side. House Boat river tour with lunch was good.

Good tour. The first 2 hours around Kochi were excellent. However then came a long trip to the Houseboat trip which itself was too long. A 2 hour boat trip would have been plenty instead of the 3 hour trip. Then came the long trip home!
