    A lovely relaxing journey gently winding our way on the river backwaters which included a typical Keralan lunch. A well organised and thoroughly enjoyable day at a reasonable price. Would recommend.

    What a great experience! Floating down the river was so relaxing. We sat at the front of the boat and felt like VIPs as we watched the scenery go by while our fantastic crew attended to our every need. The meals on board were excellent. Our bedroom was cool at night. They stopped at Champakulam, a small town on the river,where we could shop for the usual tourist items. But the real attraction of that town was the St Mary's Basilica just beyond the tourist shops. Founded in the 400's, it's gorgeous inside, with painted walls and ceiling. Overall we had a wonderful time and felt like we really got to see Kerala
    We had one traumatic thing happen at the end of our trip. After we got off the houseboat, we had to take a water taxi to get to the dock where the cars were parked. Our luggage was on top of the taxi along with the garbage from our trip. At some point, the garbage bag flew off the taxi and into the river. We can only hope it was an accident.

    Planning a 6 day private tour of Kerala I needed to find a driver. Trip advisor came up trumps with Ramesh. He was delightful. Always prompt, polite and has excellent English. His driving was exemplary. He also was very knowledgeable about the area and the sights he took us to. Very easy company over the 6 days. Plus an added bonus he has an excellent singing voice and will sing traditional Indian songs, but only on request. I thoroughly recommend him for your trip. Contact Ramesh.790@rediffmail.com

    Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was so professional, insightful, and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the geography and culture. The backwater tour was wonderful with an attentive crew. We enjoyed a lovely meal and the beautiful scenery. Although we were concerned about the distance From the port to the houseboat, the scenery made it worth the while. I highly recommend.

    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.

    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.

    Our guide, Jude, was very patient and informative. He went above and beyond to explain every bit of history, even those that weren’t a part of the locations itinerary. Makes me want to revisit Kochi!
