On the day before departure from Calicut my family and I decided to go on a Tyndis Tuk Tuk Calicut tour , and boy oh boy I’m glad we did! We had the best time with Tyndis, both IN the actual - top down – tuk tuk as visiting the heritage and history of Calicut. Everything from booking, to itinerary to confirmation went smoothly. My nephew is 3 so we did a customized route and reduced the time of the tour to 2,5 hours. We had two tuk tuk with us + One storyteller. This storytelling tuk tuk tour took us to beach site, Old streets and Busy Indian Market, Local food place, Halwa (Sweet dish) making place, Old church and mosque .Both storyteller and driver was very friendly, spoke English very well and was the sweetest thing to the little guy. Good knowledge on sites also. All in all a GREAT afternoon. I'd definitely recommend this tuk tuk tour to everyone planning to experience the real Calicut .
