      Had a great experience with Srees Tours and Travels.
      We recently went on a trip to Kerala for 7 nights and 8 days. The entire trip was organized through Srees Tours and Travels. Arun coordinated our requirements exceptionally well and provided us with a detailed itinerary that included every minor detail about each location. Things that went well: 1. The payment terms were clearly defined. 2. Vishnu, our driver, was polite and punctual. 3. We loved our stay at Hotel C7 (Munnar), Crystal Cove (Thekkady), Jala Houseboat (Alleppey), Abad Harmonia (Kovalam). 4. We had the best food, especially tea, during our stay on the houseboat. Things that didn’t go well: 1. Our stay at Deshadan Cliff Resort in Varkala did not meet our expectations. The rooms had queen-size beds with extra soft and super uncomfortable mattresses. The food also did not taste good. Additionally, the staff were unresponsive. 2. In Thekkady, the timings could have been planned better. Our driver was not aware of the schedule for the Periyar Tiger Safari boat ride, and we missed it because we were late. Recommendation for other travelers: 1. In Alleppey, opt for a full-time AC houseboat to ensure comfort. After it gets dark, we cannot enjoy the outdoors due to mosquitoes, and the indoors become suffocating due to humidity. 2. Carry mosquito repellent At the end, I would highly recommend Srees Tours and Travels to plan your trip to Kerala.

      Great for solo female travelers
      I’m an American woman traveling alone in India, and this tour was great for me. I always felt safe, comfortable and taken care of. My driver was wonderful, the activities were plentiful, and the owner made it SO easy to organize. Some of the activities were super touristy, and I might have personally skipped them, but I know a lot of people really enjoy them. I would 100% recommend Srees Tours.

      One day your Kochi to Munnar
      Everything went smooth and Tomi was a really good driver and super helpful. I would recommend people to take the two day tour if possible. The nature is really beautiful but most of the time you are on the road. If you have more days, you have more time to escape from the busyness of the city

      Excellent holiday, very well organised for us.
      Very well organised, from the planning stages to the actual holiday, everything fell into place. Our driver was brilliant! Hadn't bargained for the 6 hour drive to Munnar but it was worth it in the end. The hotels were all very good, the treehouse was a real experience although there was no hot water and the cold shower didn't work. We were only there 1 night so we managed. The houseboat was also very relaxing, the chef produced the most amazing food for us. Overall an excellent and relaxing holiday seeing very different sights of Kerala, from Kochi to Munnar to the houseboat and finally the beach all in 7 days.

      We were excited to have a beautiful tour and arrangements made by Sree Tours were more than our expectations. It was very well organised, taxi, hotel etc. Our driver for 6 days, Mr. Mahesh was also a very good person who ensured, we experience all the tourist spot on the way. We all are highly satisfied with arrangements of Sree Tours and definitely recommend others to use their services. My best wishes to Sree Tours

      Bucket-list Backwaters adventure!
      What a fantastic trip! We loved every minute of it. The hospitality on the boat was excellent, from the minute we boarded, nothing was too much trouble for the crew. The meals were excellent - South Indian food is delicious! The boat was very comfortable and clean. The downstairs living area and bedrooms were air conditioned. The scenery was spectacular - tropical and so green!! We particularly loved some of the fields alongside the waterways that were covered in flowering water lilies - special for this time of the year. A BIG thanks to all at Srees Tours for a wonderful trip!

      Day trip Kumarakom houseboat
      It was a good experience. Had gone with family with kids and senior citizens. They enjoyed the trip. The house boat was neatly maintained and food was very good and tasty. It covered lakes around Kumarakom and Alleppey. Highly recommended. However, there could be someone like a guide who could tell us more about the place.

      7 days/6 nights Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Fort Kochi, private tour for a couple
      My wife & I recently completed a wonderful 6 nights/7 day private driving tour of Kerala, booked by our super agent Tina Kordys (Travel Associates Australia Pty Ltd) with Sree's Tours & Travel (Kerala). We visited Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppy Backwaters and Fort Kochi, driven & guided by the world's best local driver, Sooraj. The itinerary that Sree's put together was superb, with excellent accomodation and destinations. We are truley indebted to Tina, Sree's & Sooraj for a very memorably Kerala experience. Warm regards Phil & Robynne

      Wonderful Trip to Kerala
      My mother and I went on a 9 day trip to Kerala covering Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, Varkala and Kanyakumari. We also covered Kovalam on our way back to Trivandrum. In Kochi we covered the athirapally falls, Kochi Folklore Museum, Mattanchery palace, the Jewish Synagogue and St. Francis Church (where Vasco De Gama was buried) in Fort Kochi. In Munnar, we covered the Erivakulam National park, the tea museum and watched Kathakali and Kalaripayattnam shows. We also covered local sight seeing spots like ripple waterfalls and the hanging bridge. In Thekkady, we went to the forest border at Sathram (where we spotted deers and bisons) and the grape vines near the Tamil Nadu border. We also visited the Periyar Tiger Reserve. We also did a Elephant ride in Kumily, after which I also fed the elephant. I loved the experience. Our next stop was Alleppey where we stayed in a houseboat named Mind cruiser. It was an amazing experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quite of travelling in a houseboat. The Varkala beach was closed off because of the weather, however, the sea looked magnificent from the cliff. On our way to Kanyakumari, our last stop, we stopped at Poovar for boating in the backwaters. It was a very nice experience, and I especially enjoyed boating through the mangrove forest. Kanyakumari was our last stop where we visited the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. All the arrangements including the hotel rooms were very well organised, although the room in Varkala could have been better. Ms. Regi was always available throughout the trip and easy to communicate with. Our driver, Mr. Manuel was excellent and a great guide throughout the trip. It was a memorable trip with lots of new experiences. We had a wonderful time! We would definitely recommend Sree travels for your trips!

      Serene Day Trip & a lifetime memory
      Our day trip cruise from Kumarakom to Alleppey was a truly enchanting experience. The houseboat itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, offering both indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the views. The journey through the backwaters was breathtaking. The lush greenery, tranquil waters, and traditional Kerala village scenes provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The onboard meal was a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. If you're looking for a serene and picturesque way to explore Kerala’s backwaters, this cruise is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable day on the water.

      Athirapally falls
      Our day trip was nothing short of amazing. Sooraj was our tour guide and gave us the best experience. On our way to the waterfalls I mentioned my love for sweets so he did a pit stop at a local chip & bakery. Our next stop was the hanging bridge and gardens. The gardens were extra special filled with hundreds and hundreds of butterflies. We then drove on to the waterfalls. They were breathtaking. After our long travels we were hoping to hike and get in some walking. At athirapally you walk down rock steps to see the full view of the waterfall, wear good shoes!! I almost started the day in flip flops and switches to water shoes last minute, best decision. We took so many photos along the way. Unfortunately we are here for a wedding and had to cut the day short skipping the beach but the waterfalls alone were worth this trip. Thank you so much Sooraj for a wonderful day!!!

    Boat trip was excellent. The tour operator was in close contact with us even prior our arrival to India in order to ask if we needed any support to get there. Once there, they took wonderful care of us. Foods were exceptional, and staff in the boat took always good care of us. We also had our privacy. After that, the tour operator managed transport to the airport. Only remark is that there is no wifi inside (as it was stated in the description), but staff provided for basic communication. As a summary, experience 100% recommendable.

    Excellent experience for our 2 night houseboat trip: the staff were very friendly and attentive and the boat was in good condition. The meals were excellent and huge so go with an empty stomach! We got a real flavour of the backwaters and it was a relaxing experience. Our only feedback would it would be helpful to have the day itinerary explained to us by the staff, as we weren’t quite sure where we were at times - otherwise excellent!

    Made the right choice by booking private houseboat with Sreestours :)
    The staff was very polite and facilities great. The boat was clean.
    The food was superb. Never had such tasty Kerela meals.

    Not to forget the best price!

    I have never seen such a filthy unhygienic bathroom and boat .. The thought of staying overnight filled us with dred ! Let alone eat any food on it . We noticed fish lying on the side of an equally unhygienic looking kitchen ..How long it had been on the side is anyone's guess .. Very surprised TripAdvisor has this on their books .. Stay well away ..

    "Stay well Away" but its surpising that the traveller even not stayed 30mins in the boat. Upon check in, the traveller called me and asked whether I can give another boat. I said this is a daily operaating boat mostly by Guests booked through Viator. Due to season rush, there was no other boat to offer, moreover we give only our products and not others. I said, we have no other boat, in case she does not like this, you can checkout, we will refund full amount. She checked out within 30mins, I sent a mail to Viator for full refund. Later I spoken to the driver and found that she stayed in a 5 star resort in Munnar and after houseboat she is booked a another 5 star hotel in Kovalam. Though we do not need to refund any amount due to last minute demand, we always support the customer and offered fully refund. About this boat - the same as photos displayed, licenced and daily maintained. Its a small traditional boat offer a neat and clean bed room with attached bathroom, hot water, front lobby with dining, toiletries and a kitchen. Moreover, the two staffs are well experience and compleated aroung 19yrs in the housbeoat operation. We had more bookings and we are also waiting for other travellers reviews.

    We are seasoned backpackers and picked the cheapest private option we could find. This experience exceeded our expectations. Clean room. Strong AC at night. Great food. Had the option to buy fresh king prawn from lake which was great cost 1800 per kg which is a lot but we felt we could afford given the relatively lower price of the trip. Also staff were chill and friendly despite not having much English. Only thing could perhaps improve is a written explanation of menu so we know what we’re eating. But all was delicious. Views were great. Thank you
