Worse Day trip to Kanyakumari

Usha_S, Feb 2026

Do not use this provider. Not helpful. The driver basically dropped us at the entrance. After requesting many times he helped buy online ticket but he did not accompany us even though he was also supposed to be our guide. The other tour guide helped us to get to the right place, purchase entrance tickets etc.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. For this day trip, the driver’s role is to provide transportation along with on-ground assistance and local support. On the day of your visit, there was an unexpectedly heavy crowd at the attraction, which required the vehicle to be parked farther away than usual. Due to the crowd situation and limited access, ticket processing took longer than anticipated. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and understand how important smooth coordination is during a sightseeing experience. Your comments have been noted and will help us further improve communication and planning during peak-crowd situations. Thank you again for your feedback, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

Poor and boring experience

The statue next to Vivekanada rock was not open to public but the tour operator never informed about it. The driver doubled up as the guide. However, he did not accompany us to the venue. He just bought the ferry tickets and paid for the lunch. We had to buy additional tickets to see the venue and explore it on our own without any guide. I will not recommend this tour.

A long drive and not a tour

Michelle_L, Oct 2023

It seems that Viator tours in Kerala are not associated with providing a guide. You get a driver who barely talks comprehensible English, does not talk on the long trip, drops you off at the various sites and says see you later. The ferry ride is short but on an overly old loaded boat, likely illegal. Very hot day, and a long wait before returning on the ever more crowded ferry. We were taken to a nice hotel for a good lunch that we paid for. The two tours that we did with Viator in Kerala were certainly way below our expectations and nowhere comparable to previous tours enjoyed in other countries. I would call them overpriced drives and would discourage anyone from taking them.

Reprogram the tour

sittams, Jan 2020

A poorly organized trip. It took three hours to drive to Kanyakumari and 2.5 hours to return leaving only 2.5 hours for visiting all the included sites. The major attraction Vivekananda and Thruvaluvar alone took 1.5 hours leaving just enough time to reach SunsetSpot. We were on the final ferries to Vivekananda and Thiruvaluvar, another 15 minutes and we would have missed those attractions. We had a moderately English speaking driver whom we wil not identify as a guide. He was vey pleasant and accommodating but we had to direct the tour as he was not well informed on what was included in the tour. Bottom line, this tour must be reprogrammed.

Greetings from ET. Thank you for the feedback and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. Usually, our Kanyakumari tour is for 7 to 8 hrs which means from morning to evening so that you can enjoy the maximum and avoid the heavy traffic. But your pick up time was at 1 pm from Trivandrum and hopefully, the two-way ride will take a maximum of 6 hrs. Once again thank you......
