We had an amazing day with Thouseef. He took us to so many interesting and diverse places, many of which no other tourists would ever see. We visited many places of worship and had a mini food tour. Nothing was too much trouble and we left very happy but sad that we had to leave.

This was a wonderful trip. It takes about 3-3.5 hours to get to the tea plantation from Kochi. If your hotel isn't listed as a pickup location, contact person listed and check if they'll pick you up, anyways. Because they did this for us. Our driver, Feroz was excellent in every way. Patience, kindness, accommodating and safe. First stop us for breakfast, but it's not a place I would've chosen. It was a vegetarian menu and the bathroom accommodations were suboptimal. Our guide to the tea plantation, Suresh was kind, knowledgeable, patient and accommodated us accordingly. I have drank tea all my life, but never really learned anything about it. Today charged all of that and more. Suresh chose a wonderful location for us to picnic and provided us with snacks and the BEST tea I've ever had! Feroz took us to a spice garden, where we learned so much! I have a whole different appreciation for sources l spices and ayurvedic treatments. I would definitely do this again! Thanks Suresh and Feroz!!!

We loved this food tour - Biju is born and raised in the town and knows everyone. Going on his tour gives you the chance to visit the restaurants like a local - and get treated like a VIP. We started with some fresh drinks (mango and avocado) before taking Biju’s tuk tuk to a nearby vegetarian place. We moved from there to a different restaurant serving different meat dishes and various accompaniments. And ended with a cooling drink at a street side family shop. Traveling as a tourist, you’d never find these places or know how good they were, so getting the personal tour is well worth doing and we’d recommend it to anyone.
