Our tuk tuk driver, Saber, was excellent - friendly, helpful and drove us around Cochin safely. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and seeing the sights of Cochin.

We had a lovely trip with Freddie and Sadil who were excellent and flexible guides. We went on a Sunday and saw local people enjoying their free time. Yes the the tuk tuk ride was an experience but it did make you feel as though you had been immersed in part of everyday life in Cochin. . I never once felt unsafe - just a different way of managing traffic which works perfectly. The only thing I would say is the backwater tour was not as I had expected - not as rural but was relaxing nonetheless - don’t expect to see masses of wildlife in an idyllic setting. Overall I would highly recommend this trip.

Tuk tuk travel is ok for short distances and moderate traffic, but we also went on full speed highways. We dodged death several times including when the driver went the wrong way on a one way street so I would recommend this for adrenaline junkies as well as curious visitors. We covered all the sights and the driver tried hard to communicate with some success. If you understand Indian driving techniques and are ok with that, the trip works. I would say not for novice Indian travelers (our 4th trip to India). Limited backwater trip is a total waste of time. This is not really a backwater trip.

Had a great tour with Biju who was a very good driver and guide. Drove 20km out of Fort Kochi to the backwaters and had a lovely hour looking at the birds and local fishermen. Then back into town where he pointed out the colonial architecture and stopped at the main sights for us to get out and see. He was also very happy to take us to a pharmacy en route! A very interesting 4 hours and I would highly recommend.

Sabeer was a good driver and took us all around Cochin. He had limited knowledge of the sights which mostly had explanations in English. But he made a good effort to show us some places not on the list to better understand the city.
