Great tour with Suresh! It ended up being a solo tour as I was the only one! Suresh explained everything in great detail and with enthusiasm for his city. Learned a lot.

I had a really great experience with Sureshkumar in Trivandrum.
Even though I was the only guest that day, he still warmly received me and took very good care of everything.
He is very nice and patient, and even accompanied me for shopping. Along the way, he explained a lot about the local culture, places, and daily life, so I learned many new things. We also went to eat together, which made the whole experience feel very genuine and comfortable, not rushed at all.
He is very informative, friendly, and easy to talk to.
Thanks to him, I got to understand Trivandrum much better.
Really thankful for his time and kindness — highly recommend him as a guide.

Gokul, our local tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Experiencing the city from a local resident’s perspective is invaluable. Gokul even helped us find a quiet coffee place to relax midway through the tour.

This two-hour walk with Vijay was a good introduction and familiarisation to the sights of Trivandrum. Vijay pointed out local attractions of interest and provided commentary and history of all. This tour was conducted in the afternoon so allowed me to come back and revisit some of the attractions in the following days I was staying in Trivandrum.

I definitely recommend this tour of Trivandrum !
We were a group of 6 French people visiting the city.
Biju has been a great guide for us, super easy to understand, with a nice personnality and taking time to answer all our questions. He is very knowledgeable, with an acute view of his country.
We walked around the neighborhood having a look at the museum, library, different churches/temples, and the market.
Do not hesitate.

It was memorable loss of money and time. It was not walking cultural tour. It was Highway walking without any feel of city.

A wonderful tour to discover Trivandrum. We highly recommend it!! Our tour guide Naveen was very knowledgable and super friendly, explained everything in a brilliant way.

Siddaharth is a very knowledgeable, competent and empathetic guide. We spent two hours together strolling through the city of Trivandrum visiting the major historical points of interest. He welcomed me with kindness and guided me with interesting explanations in English through gardens, historic palaces, monuments, library and market. We were able to communicate in English despite having some difficulty showing great empathy towards me and passion for their work. Thank you Siddharth for the great Chaimilk enjoyed together at the end of the route and for the time spent together, I could not wish for a better Welcoming for my first trip to India. Namaste, Joan

A very easy visit between places of worship and monuments. A way to learn more about the local culture, observing what you encounter while walking. The Hareesh guide was professional, fun, and helpful to any information.
