It was really wonderful. The houseboat was beautiful. Lunch was absolutely delicious. It was interesting to see how people lived next to the water.
Very happy we chose the canoe versus the houseboat. We were able to go down the small channels to see how the locals live. Very humbling and inspiring.
The Backwater Boat trip was very good even if not quite the type of backwater that I had expected - Houseboats themselves were very good as were their staff and the Lunch provided - It was a long drive to get there over two and a half hours although coming back we seemed to take a quicker route and back to the port in plenty of time - The two Tour guides with us were also very good and informative
Well worth a visit. Cochin is a charming place. The fishing nets are a must see. You do have to barter with the tuk tuk drivers at the port, aim to pay no more than half of the first price. Bear in mind that the driver’s main aim will be to get you to shops that give him “commission “. Be firm if that’s not your idea of sightseeing. Like the rest of India, it is filthy, which is so sad in such a beautiful country.
Nice tour. Nice overview of Kochin. Would have preferred less time in museum and more time exploring Jewtown area and time for some shopping
Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was so professional, insightful, and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the geography and culture. The backwater tour was wonderful with an attentive crew. We enjoyed a lovely meal and the beautiful scenery. Although we were concerned about the distance From the port to the houseboat, the scenery made it worth the while. I highly recommend.
This trip was well arrange and gave us an interesting insights to life.the food was surprisely quite good

Amazing trip, the guide was fantastic and the boat and food onboard was lovely. The two men on the boat who prepared our food were fantastic. The views are stunning and I definitely recommend. The travel time is long (1.5 hours there and just over 2 hours back due to traffic) however it was a comfortable journey in an air conditioned mini bus.

A great tour, with a long bus ride to the House Boats, but once there and on board an excellent experience. Our tour guide Jude was very knowledgeable and was able to get us on one of the Chinese Fishing Nets.
