Our guide, Shihab, was absolutely amazing. He was extremely friendly, humorous and engaging. He kept up the energy the entire trip. His knowledge was exhaustive. He had so much information about everything. We made several non scheduled stops which he did at passenger requests or to enrich the trip. The driver was skilled. Very comfortable. The houseboat was an amazing experience. The trip was beautiful. The chef prepared food on the boat was great, just delicious and plentiful. We saw more than others did the same tour through the cruise line. Best part of our trip so far!
This was an excellent afternoon tour. Jude was our guide. He spoke fluent English and was very attentive and informative. Pick up from the cruise terminal was easy, and we set off in an air conditioned minibus. The afternoon tour included 2 boat trips, the local bus and a rickshaw. We saw a lot but it was relaxed and we even had time for a drink in a local cafe. We would highly recommend this tour, many thanks.
The tour was very informative. The guide spoke good English. We had a good time. I highly recommend.
Fantastic tour, with local theme. Jude the tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. We were picked up on time and back to the ship in plenty of time
Because of construction of a new expressway from Cochin to Aleppo, the bus ride from the cruise port to the houseboat was 2 hours due to bad roads and detours. The houseboat was very nice and the staff were very friendly. However, the advertisement for the trip showed photos that implied narrow waterways. For much of the tour we were out in a wide lake with nothing to see except other house boats.
An excellent tour - Shihab was very knowledgeable, informative with a great sense of humour, who we would highly recommend.
Great tour. Great guide. Loved experiencing the local ferry, local bus and 2 Turk Tuk rides. Walked around between transports and saw all the sights. Highly recommend.
A kind bus ride to the boats added time to see the city and hear commentary from the guide. We had a convenience stop along the way. Local guide was knowledgeable.
Tour guide was great with lots of information whilst looking after our safety. We saw many sights, smells and tastes of this interesting city! So much to see and do. Thank you Viator. We will have done 5 of your tours including Mumbai and each time you have been excellent with great pick ups at each stop
This was an excellent tour with a knowledgeable English speaking guide who showed us around the sights by a mixture of minibus and walking. As it was a Sunday we could not enter the churches we visited but the guide was able to describe their history.
