I did not actually have them pick me up from a cruise ship, but as an avid cruiser I am posting under this classification anyway since this would be a great shore excursion. It's the same experience whether you arrive by land or sea. My Tuk-tuk driver, Shaji, was such a great host. His knowledge of the cultural, military and religious history of the area is amazing. He even explained the meaning behind the names of places and things, and the history of the names. Not only that, he treated me to sampling of a few local foods along the way as he knows the "safe" vendors. Delicious! A very kind and helpful man and a wonderful local host.

I was picked up at port and taken on a wonderful tour of Cochin by my lovely driver /tour guide who informed me of places we visited. Very impressed with the company and would certainly use them again.

We booked two Tuk Tuks to collect us from the cruise ship. On arriving at port we were transferred by a small coach to a lay by on the outskirts of the city where several Tuk Tuks were parked. The tour began, our driver spoken reasonable English but our friends driver spoke no English. We asked to tour in convoy which proved to be the best thing as our friends were able to listen to our guides information - without this their tour would have been meaningless Such a shame as the other postings for this company led us to expect good service and a fantastic time..

Amazing trip would highly recommend. We were picked up from our cruise ship by Sudheer and taken on a full day trip around Cochin. Nothing was to much trouble for Sudheer and he explained things as we went around. We were shown many different parts of Cochin and he managed to drive through all the bikes!!!! He even had his fan going for us which the other tuk tuks didn't so thoughtful of him.

We have a party of four, two tuk tuks: therefore we can go through small side streets; no line up going up and down tour buses and at rest rooms. We had lunch at a restaurant for the local people with the drivers. We bought souvenirs randomly as we passed street venders and picked and choose the places and duration of sites of our visit.
