All Kochi Tours & Excursions in 2026

This was an exceptional day trip on the Backwaters. Peaceful & serene. Highly recommended. The driver, the punters, the guide, the family & the chefs all made for such a smooth flowing day. Lunch was superb as was the tea & banana cumin fritters for snack. The coconut coir rope making & coconut 🥥 mat was fascinating to watch. A 'must-do' trip. 🕉💫

We had a group of about 18 and got picked up in a small bus from Fort Kochi. We drove a bit out of town and had two boat rides, one shaded and one open. Lunch was in between. Then there was a weaving and rope making demonstration. Overall it was great, but I recommend you bring a water bottle. There are no forced shopping stops, just an opportunity to buy a drink and snack from a little store if you want. For the price I thought it was a great tour, and I enjoyed meeting everyone in our group!

This tour was awesome, such a peaceful and relaxing way to see the sights. The tour guide picked us up near the cruise terminal and then we drove about an hour to the Kerala backwaters but the drive was interesting with lots to see. Stopped at a villagers house for a cup of tea and snacks and a demonstration about village life. We really enjoyed this slow paced and relaxing tour.

We had an excellent time on this trip! We are graduate students from the US and found this experience lovely and a very good value. We had excellent accommodations and our driver was very knowledgeable, professional, and safe. Munnar is beautiful and offers lots to see and do for thrill-seekers (zip lines, jeep rides) or relaxed sightseeing (tea plantations, vistas). Alleppey and Kochi were were lovely too, had a very relaxing boat trip, visited the beach, and Kochi offered some historic sites and good shopping. A couple pieces of advice - the optional jeep trip is a bit of a scam, its good if you want secret waterfalls but for wildlife just ask your driver to take you directly to the wild elephant sighting location. Also, it takes some time to drive around to each location. Think about what things from the itinerary are most important and prioritize those, we didn't not have time for all the included activities. Otherwise, just relax and enjoy the accommodations!

We are so glad that we booked this tour - as noted by others, Biju was outstanding, engaging, knowledgable and a wonderful ambassador for his hometown of Kochi. Additionally, we booked pretty late and needed modifications reducing the time of the tour by a few hours - he was so responsive and flexible, and honestly, the tour was still so comprensive and yet relaxed, that we feel we saw it all, and learned so much. Our driver Justin was excellent, and contributed to our learning too - expert driver and very kind. Totally recommend this tour of beautiful, multi-cultural Kochi!

You see the real Kochi and driving through the traffic is an experience in itself. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. The driver, Sudi, was a very nice man, very knowledgeable and his driving was excellent. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Thanks for a great day! Our guide picked us up at our hotel to drive us to the houseboat. During our drive to the houseboat, he shared a lot of knowledge about areas we were passing by and like in Kerala. We had an amazing lunch on the houseboat and enjoyed the peacefulness of the backwaters. We enjoyed our guides company throughout our day. Our day was made so easy by offering hotel pickup and drop off. Highly reo. Thanks for a great day

We went on a 5-day private tour in Kerala, which we booked with Sanguine through the Viator app. They arranged the trip wonderfully. Nimisha was amazing — always available to answer our questions and help whenever we needed. Sumesh was an excellent driver and a knowledgeable guide throughout the trip. The cost was very reasonable, and they arranged beautiful resorts. The houseboat experience was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kerala and created unforgettable memories there.
