A great introduction to South Indian food

Harry_W, Jan 2026

We loved our food tour. Ahkil was very knowledgeable and we had a wonderful walk around Allepey. There was a lot of food!

Exactly What I Wanted—A Nice Street Food Tour with an Excellent Guide

Chris_P, Jul 2025

I booked this tour wanting a nice street tour of Alleppey street food. I got exactly that. Sibi, my tour guide, was knowledgeable about Alleppey foods and took me to a fantastic selection of locations. Highly recommended. (Also note that the start location is in Alleppey, not Kochi.)

Nice thing to do in Alleppey

Stephanie_G, Feb 2025

There seemed to be nothing to do in Alleppey in the evenings so we took a chance on this tour. We are really glad we did. Our guide Sibi was such a nice guy, he led us around lots of different places where we ate really delicious food, including things we hadn't tried yet in Kerala. Come hungry!

Fabulous time!

Caitlin_G, Jan 2025

Our group of 6 had a great time getting to taste lots of local foods! Akhil was an excellent tour guide- great communication, very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions thoroughly! Highly recommend!

Fun way to spend night in Alleppey. Great food

Kenneth_H, Jan 2025

Fun way to explore city at night. We went to a number of places for food, snacks and tea, all very different and interesting. Was great to try new food. I liked most of the things we ate but even the few items that weren’t to my taste (a few were too sweet) were interesting and i’m glad i tried them our guide Akhil was wonderful and very friendly.

Must do!

Sibi was a great guide, we really enjoyed the walk and the local eateries were delightful. The food was delicious.

You will be fed!

Ashley_W, Feb 2024

This is a great experience as an introduction to the foods of Kerala. There is some room for curation if you are wanting a deeper understanding and history of dishes and flavor, but you certainly will be fed! A little pricey but we had a fun time tasting snacks, mains, sweets, and teas around town in a variety of places and atmospheres. A very manageable walk and pacing with his talks along the way. If you also have certain requests then Akhil knows where to find it! I recommend this to groups that want a taste of local cuisine in guaranteed tasty places.

Great food and conversations

aths11, Jan 2024

Sibi was a great guide, easy to speak with and gad a lot of insights of the city and if course the food! We tried many new foods and places that we normally wouldn't have found or even thought to search. Fantastic to have a local person guiding us to feel like we knew the city better!

An OK experience for people who don't know the area.

Harsha_P, Jun 2023

It was honestly kind of lame. The originally scheduled tour guide had some sort of engagement and Whatsapped me the day before to change the time to the evening. Since we had only the morning free, I asked to cancel it. He said he could arrange another guide but that most of the shops would be closed. I'm not sure why they offer tours at 11 am then, The replacement guide didn't really talk and I don't think he was English-speaking so I had to translate for the rest of the group. We got some okay snacks but I've had better in smaller towns in Kerala. I think it was interesting for the rest of group of non-Malayalis. The only thing I was super happy about was that I got to roam about Alleppey with someone who I knew was paid to make sure we didn't eat at places with bad hygiene and he was pretty patient because I wanted to do other shopping since the food tour didn't really offer much.
