    Don't do it
    Terrible experience after booking a mangrove tour for 2 using this TripAdvisor site almost 24hrs in advance! Despite information about the tour saying 'reserve now & pay later' I was required to provide credit card details to complete the booking and the payment was subsequently drawn from my linked account. I subsequently received an email from TripAdvisor confirming the booking but advising it was pending confirmation by the operator - which may take up to 3 days! There was no indication of this potential delay in the tour information - which may take up to 3 days! We duly arrived at the designated meeting point in Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary next morning in the hope that the tour would be delivered, only to be told by staff and other operators that they had NEVER heard of this tour operator! No-one answered the contact number for inquiries to the supposed operator that were provided in the TripAdvisor booking confirmation despite repeated calls over 30 minutes, including by concerned officials from the Sanctuary. The number came up as belonging to Jays Inn, not Tyndis as advertised. It seems this tour page may be a scam. Ultimately we took a great tour with another operator for a fraction of the price we had paid for the boat tour that was NEVER DELIVERED!

    The best planner hands down
    Naveen was a dream to work with. He was responsive, proactive and planned the trip to perfection. He not only allowed changes but encouraged it so that we get the best experience for me and my fiance. All the hotels were top class and every stay was a picture perfect. Most of all, the staff and contractors he hired were very polite and courteous. Our driver Umesh is probably the highlight of the trip. He made it so special with his warm personality. He made extra effort to ensure we are taken care of EVERYWHERE we went. We have made a friend for life. I still text him even after 6 months. He's a great man. Naveen was the best thing that happened to us when my fiance and I were trying to spend some quality time together before we tie the knot. Now we are happily married and have a lot of great memories from our 7 day trip that Naveen planned to perfection. Thank you Naveen. I was sceptic when I first booked the trip reading the reviews thinking those are fake and all as I was flying in from Washington DC. But all the positive reviews are actually true. He is truly the best. I am so thankful for the time you spent in planning our trip. I'll be using your services again and again coz my wife wants us to make a trip to Kerala for our anniversary. I highly recommend Naveen and his company. Ask for Umesh as your driver if you wanna make your trip memorable. Make sure you ask him to play his music in the drive. He loves classical music and it really goes well with the trip in his gods own country Kerala. Cheers

    A must-visit if you are in Calicut
    Experiencing these mangroves was incredible, to say the least. The way the community is intertwined with sustainable practices over decades is nothing short of a miracle. And hearing first-hand stories of the planting and preserving of the mangroves is just a cherry on top. Ayyappan sir is a treasure trove of stories that will make it feel like you are in the documentary when it’s being shot! Thanks Naveen, Maria, and Neha and hats off to all the storytellers of Tyndis for helping us connect with the heritage of the Malabar region. No amount of pictures and videos can do justice to this place - so don’t Google, just go!

    Best workation trip involving scenic beauty ,beaches, river views motivated for the maximum productivity and joy
    Me and my husband had a wonderful experience with Kerala workation package. Naveen was very kind and based on the requirements was able to quickly suggest the best places and even kept in touch with us throughout to ensure the best experience. started our trip with: 1) A hidden gem in the midst of marari arakal heritage , walkable distance from the beach is a must visit once in a life time. Tasty Indian cuisines, authentic heritage kerala food and hospitality from the host Abi Arakal , wifi speed was good and then 2) we moved to a beach front place in neela backwaters allepy though it was raining we had an amazing view from the room and wifi speed was good and never had power issues. 3) We ended the workation in kumarakom mango Kerala homes with moments to cherish for with house boat cruise, river view room stay and authentic Kerala home food. it was a week long workation trip getting away from the hum drum of the city life and best place for IT people irrespective of positions as the wifi speed everywhere was very good! Definitely we will visit soon and thanks so much for hosting us and suggesting these amazing places. I suggest this to everyone who is looking for a workation, intimate time with family/significant other guys just trust and go ahead with the tyndis, tree monk workation!! they will plan the best deal for you .🎉🤞

    The best workation experience arranged by Tyndis
    After 2 years of “home arrest”, we wanted to just get out and get lost in nature, yet, ensuring that we are safe and not exposed to the risk of Covid. We opted for a workation at Lake Song resort, Kumarakom. The workation was arranged by Mr. Naveen Mathew from Tyndis Workations. This was the best workation I ever had. No internet issue, No room service related issue, nothing. Everything went super smooth, as promised. Mr. Naveen from Tyndis and Mr. Arun from the resort even went the extra mile during several occassions to ensure that our stay at the resort and the workation experience was hassle free. I was accompanied by my wife, and my entire family. Needless to say, all of us had the best time eating, chilling by the pool, getting into a Shikara boat ride on the lake, getting rejuvenating massages, kayaking our way through the backwaters, sitting in the middle of nature and relaxing + working, and clicking a zillion pictures. If you are looking for a relaxed, smooth workation - service by Tyndis Workation is definitely recommended!!

    Great antique place, well thought
    This place is very well constructed. It has so many details and is decorated with antique style, you will get some good European feel with all the great wood work. The bathrooms have glass ceilings and hot water. It has some fountain, very good campfire area and sorrounding lights. The internet is pretty good. I got 22mbps around the area with decent mobility. A very nice place for writers, employees planning wfh and for couples. You have a very nice view of chembra peak as well

    Workation at its best!
    Tried workaction for the first time. And it was a wonderful experience than expected. Best part was the calm work environment, delicious food and the outdoor activities such as trekking, campfire provided by the team. In addition, we received a zero cost room upgrade! Thanks to Tyndis and Naveen for the prompt support throughout.

    Experienced workation in the middle of nature. Thank you Tyndis for the suggestions and support.
    We were 4 people (2 couples) who planned to travel to munnar for a trip, and to try working from Munnar. We tried online and contacting directly to get the best rates and was convinced about the rates. We got a chance to talk to Tyndis and they gave us the best rate, cheaper than any other options we had. They suggested better options for us and we had the best stay and experience at munnar. We stayed at Deshadan resorts and Tall trees resort. Tall trees is my definite suggestion. High speed wifi was there, letting is finish our work, excellent combination of service and nature friendliness. Campfire and other activities like trekking were other factors which added on to excitement. Thank you Tyndis for making the trip one of the best and thank you Tall trees for the experience. Will definitely consider my next bookings through Tyndis.

The experience was wonderful. It exceeded all our expectations. Our guide Sreekanth was so knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic.

We discovered places we wouldn't even have known about if we walked around on our own - a halwa making kitchen, a coconut oil making facility etc!

Being an Architect i was looking for a Heritage walk which emphasis on History, Culture, Food, People and Architecture of Calicut. TYNDIS Heritage walk was a true experience in form of story telling and covering all the things which i was looking for! I strongly recommend for those who want to explore the city in true sense and not just going for site seeing...

Thanks for a good morning sharing your knowledge of your home city. We visited markets, storage shops of all sorts of produce, mosques, and back alleys to understand how locals live. Binusha took some great photos of us too so we can remember our trip! Friendly and willing to answer questions.

I was was googling for historical sights to see while at Calicut and was fortunate to land up on the Tyndis website. Read through and booked a Heritage walk; and I am more than happy I did that.

The Tyndis team contacted me the previous day and briefed me on what to expect on the program I had selected, and also gave me an outline of what more they can offer in and around Calicut. This ice breaker was quite a welcome one; though I'm not a stranger at all to such impromptu trips and travels all around the world.

Binusha, story teller assigned for my Heritage Walk arrived at the meeting point on time and we set off on what was a thoroughly informative and enjoyable walk through the back alleys of Calicut. Binusha knew what she was talking of, and this easy paced walk around Gujarati Street, Valiyangadi, Silk Street etc was a very enriching experience.

I wish I had a bit more time on this trip. I'm very sure I'll land up in North Kerala again and do more of what Tyndis has to offer. My sincere thanks to the Tyndis team and a very special 'Thank You' to Binusha; I had a fantastic time.

A wonderful live introduction to the rich history and people of Kozhikode, to me and my daughter – better than any history text book! We came to know how and why Kozhikode became a melting pot of cultures, and how different communities have lived here peacefully over the years. We met with the unique Muslim community in Kuttichira, where the gorgeous Mishkal mosque and Juma Masjid stand. The majestic structure of the Mishkal mosque and its history left us in awe and respect of how secularism was/is actually practiced quietly in this part of the country. It was Diwali and the markets were closed, but our energetic story teller Binusha took us into the little by-lanes full of old shops, where ancient businesses of this region came alive in our imagination. We also caught a glimpse of how the famous Calicut halwa was being made. She was so committed, she took us again to the market the next day when it was open, and to the beautiful Matri Dei cathedral, also built in the time of the Zamorin. Walking the streets has its own charm but if you want to cover more places in the given time, you might want to opt for a vehicle, at least in parts. And to complete this dose of history, we enlightened our taste buds with the best chicken biryani and seafood at Paragon, and the most delectable pathiri, ela-ada,chicken pav, kalumakkaya (mussels) and all sorts of mouth-watering snacks found only in north Malabar, at this charming joint called Zains :)

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, which felt like home with the Tyndis touch.

I m so glad we took this tour on our first visit Calicut. Our storyteller - Rajeesh - was an energetic and passionate local with nuanced knowledge of the city nooks and corners. Well versed in the history and culture of the city, he ran the tour at a relaxed but efficient pace. We spent good time at the key temples, churches, mosques in the different quarters of the city. He also gave us a superb insight into the most famous food of the city - halwa, chips, biryani, pickles etc. He took us into the bylines where these things are actually made - he knew the owners of these paces and took us deep inside the kitchens to see, for instance how is the famous Kozhikoden halwa made.

For our next trip, I ll definitely sign up for some of their other tours! Keep it up Team Tyndis!

The heritage walk takes you close to the heart and the stories of the fort city of Calicut. The person who accompanied us (Ms Binusha) is a heritage enthusiast and is quite knowledgeable of the stories of the Land of Zamorin. For people intending know the city it’s people, food, culture and stories related to different communities, the heritage walk should be a mandate. They don’t rush the walk, but rather give you enough time to absorb the spaces and stories of the land

Tyndis tours was very friendly and flexible in arranging a replacement tour guide, Mr. Mohan, since their regular storyteller was not available.

Mr. Mohan shared his very wide range of knowledge in fluent English and enthusiasm. The mosque was definitely a highlight. The neighborhood and former harbour was given color through Mr. Mohan's stories and facts. Thank you!
