The experience was great right form the start at Stanley's office. Great, respectful and friendly! During the tour, we had the best tour guide one can possibly ask for. Her name is Meera, make sure to task for her if you ever get this tour. She was knowledgeable, helpful always with a smile on her face. She made sure my partner and I had the best time. In addition to all the above. Stanley and Meera, with a half a day time notice, helped me prepare a birthday surprise for my partner. They had a cake ready, birthday hat and traditional gifts. My partner and I will never forget this experience! Thank you very much Stanley and Meera! I will make sure to book tours with you again!

A very good value trip. As well as being on the water, we had a lovely vegetarian dinner. Watched rope making from coconut fibre from start to finish. An informative trip round a spice garden. Ending with a cup of tea. This was on a non motorised boat and canoe, so better for the environment.

We were fortunate to have Arya as our guide on our tranquil Vaikom backwaters boat tour. She was very warm and friendly. She impressed us with her extensive knowledge of Kerala food, customs and history. She had specialist botanical knowledge and how various herbs are used in cooking and for medicinal purposes. She also pointed out the local birds including the Kingfisher and kite. She is very proud of her Keralan culture and has a deep understanding of the importance of caring for the ecological health of the waterways. She was well supported by her two oarsman who navigated their way through the waterways. We also enjoyed an interesting stop for a class in local coir making.

We had an amazing experience! The punting on the backwaters was so calm and peaceful, such a beautiful morning going up the river, we even got to try punting the boat with the pole, which is harder than it looks! Had an amazing thali lunch at a lovely restaurant and then paddled back in canoes, stopping on the way to see local crafts like rope weaving, grass mat making, and a plantation with fruit trees and spices. Our guide was wonderful, so warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable, it was such an enjoyable day! Beautifully organised by our wonderful host Stanley, I highly recommend booking this tour, you will have a fantastic outing and enjoy the peace and calm of the beautiful Kerala backwaters!

Brilliant experience. Our guide was Arya who was extremely knowledgeable explaining different plants and how this is used in Ayurvedic medicine. Also Arya pointed out all the different birds. Very peaceful as a non motorised houseboat, we took one with a cover. Lovely stop at a village to see weaving. Lunch was delicious - veg thali on a banana leaf. Our hotel has recommended this tour group. We were not pressured for any “extras”.

So grateful we found Wilson tours. At the last minute I realized I needed a guide for munnar. I had already booked a hotel (which was a mistake - be sure to ask Wilson tours for a recommendation for best location). And they came though. My tour guide Firoz was exceptional. He was so flexible with accommodating both our accommodation (which was poorly located) and also a different drop off location. He customized all the stops as needed. We visited a spice market were I ended up buying several eastern medicines for various alignments (also the chocolate here was great!). And then we spent the day touring the beautiful plantations of munnar - Firoz new all the best spots for pictures and it was glorious. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. He arranged for a guide (shout out to Ramesh!) who took us on a 3 hour hike through the plantations. My teenagers really enjoyed both the hike and all the interesting facts Ramesh had about the flora and fauna. A definite highlight! We also enjoyed and learned a lot at the tea factory. Overall Firoz made this experience for us and I’m so glad we were connected via Wilson tours. Don’t hesitate to book your trip through them and work to customize to suit your needs. Thank you for showing us this beautiful part of the world.

Excellent We visited wilson tours in princess street fort kochi.next day we visited the place .tour was excellent guided by Meera she was very helpful in explaining each and every detail punting boat trip was awesome

The boat ride was very relaxing and it was interesting to see some of the various daily village activities and learn about the crops that grow in the area.

Meera was our guide for the trip and she was brilliant. She was very informative and showed a real interest in all the people on the tour. We had a great day, with a yummy lunch... excellent value and we would 100% recommend the trip.

We had such a lovely time on the backwaters tour, it was very relaxing and the guides were so informative. A particular highlight was visiting the village and seeing different crafts. Thoroughly recommend booking!

Amazing view of the backwaters and an opportunity to see people and their lifestyle in a natural setting. A surreal and soothing experience of flora and fauna. The trip was highly informative learning about spices and coir making. Food was simple and served in village style is worth trying. Overall excellent one day outing for the whole family.

There was Major Confustion about where to meet. We took Taxi to office, nobody was there, then we tried to get to the "Cruise Terminal" which ended up being a secure military base at the rivers edge. Total Fiasco. Make sure you have the Tour owners Cell phone before you leave. In the end they really tried to please! very nice people, romantic and relaxing boat ride. We did not like the lunch served at the riverside retreat center, it looked good but we are very tired of rice and spicy wet food. the chairs on the boat were flimsy and I almost broke it but the lady tour guides were very nice and helpful. My family of 4 was happy. We did not stay for the ending with Canoes, we were too tired by then. The 1/2 day is enough, I would not pay more for full day, the experience is good in 1/2 day. learned a lot about how they make Rope from coconut husks, learned about flowers, Lotus's, very nice day. I would do it again.

This backwater trip was very nice and exceeded our expactations. Apart from amazing views it was also giving an insight in the way of life on Keralas waterways. The guide, Meera was excellent! Her english is very good and she was very knowledgeable about culture and the environment. Last but not the least she was vary engaged and was really caring for the group. The Kerala thali lunch on a bananaleaf was excellent. For both environmental and tranquility reasons, we prefer the "punting" boots. Very comfortable boats and thanks to the tranquility, you will listen to the sound of nature.
