Beautiful scenery in Kerala, India. The tour guides were able to talk about Indian’s history and culture along the way to the backwater pier. I really enjoyed the learning experience. We also saw the lives of people along the area and loved the cooking on the boat. Excellent trip to take while in Cochin.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to understand guides. Speakers on the bus in need of repair so it was a bit painful on the ears to hear their informative narration, which is why I docked 1 star. The houseboat experience was lovely. It’s about 2 hours each way to get there, so prepare for a long bus ride. Houseboat experience very serene. Not a thrilling or super fun shore excursion but it was an interesting experience and I’m glad we did it.

A great experience. But a lot of driving. Tea and coffee was supposed to be included with this package but was not served.

The coach journeys to and back from the embarkation point - they were too long, and the coach could not return because of a mechanical issue and a replacement had to be arranged, leading to anxiety that we might not get back to the cruise port on time
