Planning a 6 day private tour of Kerala I needed to find a driver. Trip advisor came up trumps with Ramesh. He was delightful. Always prompt, polite and has excellent English. His driving was exemplary. He also was very knowledgeable about the area and the sights he took us to. Very easy company over the 6 days. Plus an added bonus he has an excellent singing voice and will sing traditional Indian songs, but only on request. I thoroughly recommend him for your trip. Contact Ramesh.790@rediffmail.com

The views were amazing. We took very many photos. We saw how people lived along the canals while enjoying a delicious lunch.

We weren’t quite sure we could believe our houseboat was just for us! It was a brilliant day and the crew looked after us so well - and even found time to cook us a fabulous lunch. We felt like royalty - thanks so much for a memorable day

Really enjoyable 3hrs on the lakes and canals of the Kerala backwaters. The boat was cool and comfortable, the crew were friendly and helpful, and the delicious lunch prepared by the on-board chef was excellent. The only downside for us was the length of the drive from Kochi, which took almost 2hrs each way due to the current road works and traffic (as of Feb 2024).
