As my parents were traveling to South India, I wanted them to have a really great trip. They were traveling to Kochi, but I wanted them to see Munnar, as it looked really great on the pictures and read some good things about this.
I wanted a private driver who would pick them up from the airport in Kochi and bring them to Munnar directly after arrival. I googled some pages and found Cab & Cruise Buddy and got in contact with Neenu. I can't thank her enough on what she arranged for my parents. I found a hotel myself, but unfortunately, it was fully booked at the moment I wanted to book this. She got in contact wit the hotel and was still able to book a room!
And then the driver, Mr. Anand, I heard so much from my parents. He was so great and gave my parents a really great feeling and a wonderful trip!
We already told Neenu, if we all ever come back, we will book with them again, for sure! And we want to have Mr. Anand as our driver again!

The perfect way to see Karnataka.
My 72 year old arthritic father and I spent a week on the road with Cab and Cruise at the start of March. We had quite a convoluted route, BLR to Hampi, Goa, Sharavaati. We tried to fit as much as we could into our 7 days so it was a big ask. So glad we decided to use Cab and Cruise instead of self driving (just don't... it's cheaper aside from anything else to use Cab and Cruise!).
We had an excellent driver in Sunil. He was very attentive to our schedule and Dad's hip/knee problems. Long days of 6+ hours driving were no problem for him. On the final night, we decided to change our trip to go back via his home village and meet his family. It ended up probably being the highlight of the whole trip!
Car was great and very comfortable. It was great value. Communication was perfect too.
Thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking about a tour in India!

My friends and I spent half day in the houseboat cruise, sailing along the peace, the beauty and the greenery of the canals. The boat was very nice, spacious and clean. We had an excellent lunch in the boat, food was very good and they paid a lot of attention to our needs and allergies. The crew very kind, friendly and professional. I highly recommend this experience

I used Cab and Cruise Buddy for my ground transportation in Kerala having read a recommendation in the Lonely Planet guide. I was looked after by Neenu who was throughly attentive and reactive to all my requests. The price was good and everything promised was delivered like clockwork. I received regular messages from Neenu every day I was on the move regarding when the car would arrive, what car to expect and who the driver was. I used their service all the way from Cochin to Trivandrum - including to and from my houseboat trip which I had booked myself. The cars where always clean and comfortable and the drivers professional and with excellent English language skills. Neenu was always available and open to any last minute changes on my side. The drivers were always aware of the itinerary I had arranged with Neenu and this really was hassle free travel. At the end of my trip, she was keen to hear if everything had met my expectations, which had actually been exceeded! I can really recommend Cab and Cruise Buddy!

We hired a driver from cab and cruise buddy for 5 days. Sebastian picked us up from our hotel in fort Cochin and dropped us off in Alleppey. He was a great driver, spoke good English, was polite, friendly and was very knowledgeable. He took us to places that we would not have known about and was always on time when picking us up from our hotels. We had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend him and the company.

We reached out to Cab & Cruise Buddy to book a driver for our 10 day honeymoon in Kerala, starting and ending in Kochi. Neenu was great to deal with from start to finish and booked everything in as requested.
Our driver Mr Anand was waiting for us in arrivals and was great from start to finish, very friendly, always punctual, available and flexible with changes to our itinerary over the course of the holiday, nothing was too much trouble.
Neenu checked in with us regularly and was very helpful with any changes required.
We would definitely reccommend Cab & Cruise Buddy to anyone looking for a good driver service in Kerala.

I was able to plan my trip to Kerala with incredible ease with the help of Neenu at Cab and Cruise Buddy. I found her details via a TripAdvisor page and informed her of my rough itinerary. She provided a prompt reasonable quote and was able to tailor this immediately to my needs. She even assisted by providing me with a suggestive itinerary which was incredibly useful.
My driver Mr Ajesh was very kind and accomodating. He was always on time and helped us to ensure we made the most of our trip.
Highly recommend this company and I will definitely be using their services again!
Thank you Neenu and Mr Ajesh!

We used Cab and Cruise Buddy to organise our round trip from Fort Kochi for a week. Including Dewalokam, Munnar and a two night houseboat from Alleppey. The whole experience was 5 star. From Neenu who organised everything to Madhu our driver everyone was so nice. Housebiat crew Thomas and Karin were charming. Would recommend. Reliable, accommodating and lovely people all round

We had an excellent experience with Neenu from Cabs & Cruises. I got in touch with her over social media and she organized everything as per every detail I gave her with minimum back and forth conversations or clarifications. She has a very clear idea of what the client needs and works efficiently to deliver.
She had booked excellent seats for the Kathakali performance, cabs, site seeing and even an absolutely beautiful houseboat ride. Everything was seamless and she was always available on the phone for updates.
Her pricing is also very competitive and I would absolutely recommend her.

We were in Kerala for a mini vacation to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. Right from the time we contacted the company (which we found doing an online search), Neenu was extremely helpful and engaged. She found out what we were looking for on this holiday and made sure we experienced just that. The cab was clean and comfortable, and the driver extremely polite, helpful, and always punctual. The cruises arranged were exactly as we wanted, quiet, peaceful, and with boatmen and crew who were so pleasant and informative. The food on our houseboat was excellent. Neenu was literally ‘on call’ while we were in Kerala. We were very impressed with her personal attention to ensure we had a great experience, and delighted when she sent us an anniversary cake on the cruise. We will certainly be using this company’s services again, and will also be recommending it to all our friends.
