The tour was pleasant with convenient pickup from the hotel and a cruise along the backwaters in a nice big boat. The crew was friendly and helpful. A nice lunch was prepared by the crew, however we were hoping to have more seafood. It was mainly vegetarian dishes with one small fish served per person. We departed from the shore at noon which is the hottest time of day so it was a bit uncomfortable. Would be better to go closer to the sunset. A decent tour but we didn’t think it was a very good value for what you get.

We were met by our guide for the day Ajith who was very well spoken with perfect English. He proceeded to provide history and facts along the journey to the boat. The boat was fantastic and the food was made fresh by a chef on the boat. We were traveling with a couple of chefs and they slowed them to observe during preparation giving tips for traditional Indian techniques. They allowed for a couple of stops that were not scheduled to grab some street food and a little shopping. In all a perfect day and one of the best guides we have ever had.

We loved the tour. It was super quiet and serene on the boat. The tour guide was very friendly and gave us right amount of information but also gave time for us to just relax and take in the nature. We also requested to get vegan food which they cooked for us and the food was delicious. Very happy with everything!
