This my honest opinion: met Thafseer outside cruise terminal, being a girl I was a bit apprehensive of having to negotiate with the tuk tuk drivers! Thafseer was kind, professional. Took us around and we had the best tour. Very relaxing, he was not pushy at all. Easy going and happy. Highly recommend him

Thafseer took me on a short and enjoyable tuk tuk tour tour of Kochi - for a small amount of money I have seen A LOT! All the local attractions and more (he even found a shop with Gujarati sweets, which I craved!). He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the local spots. He was also flexible and adjusted the itinerary according to the time I had. Honestly, this is the best way to see the old Kochi! Contact Thafseer and you will not be disappointed!

We met Shihab outside our hotel and he explained that we will be able to show us all of various sights around Kochi within half a day. And he was right! We managed to do everything we wanted plus more including Ginger Warehouse, Gujurati Rd (amazing snacks), Dhobi laundry. Would highly recommend Shihab to anyone - very friendly, good English, and has lots of friends in the city.
