Excellent tour from start to finish. We were picked up at our hotel by our guide, who also happened to be the owner of the tour company, and driven to Alappuzha. When we arrived at the boat we found we were fortunate to have it all to ourselves as there were no other guests. We had a relaxing few hours touring the canals and lake with some useful information from the guide a crew. After the cruise it was off for lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Kochi for a look around some of the historical sites there.
