Let down by an unprofessional driver
This review was very hard to do due to our experience. During our trip communication was fantastic from the tour operator, email and WhatsApp used. Full itinerary printed off. But we had a big problem! Our driver Abishek, registration KL07 DB 5235 was the worst person we met on our travels through India. He drove like a rally driver through all the picturesque views not stopping on request, only when he felt it helped him or for him to change his music track. When we reached Munnar he told us the tour operator doesn’t put them up in a room and his better guests provide him a room. We went for lunch which he slyly added his bill to mine without asking. The next morning he took us for a tour of Munnar which lasted only 1 hour, saying the scenic tour was over and we would go back to the hotel. We decided to get him to drop us off and do our own tour, which was better just by walking around and getting to see the views. Next day we headed for Thekkady, where his and our trip would end. We arrived at a beautiful hotel Amaana, checked into our run, dropped our bags off, next thing we see is our driver arguing with all the staff. The driver told us we had to leave now as the staff didn’t allow him to stay on the premises. I said I need 10 more minutes and he was escorted out of the property. When we got to the car the hotel manager was there to explain the matter, but our driver continued to argue. We told him to get in the car as we had a private tour booked at the Periyar reserve that we didn’t want to miss. Whilst at the reserve we booked an evening safari, the driver decided he could join us without asking. This was where it all ended for our driver. I explained to him that we didn’t want him with us but he laughed wouldn’t get out the vehicle, he then spoke in his native language to our tour guide and complained we were treating him horrible. The phone call was made to the tour operator and we had a new driver arrive the next morning. The tour operator Nimisha was excellent but the driver let this tour down. So just be careful of this driver if you get a text that he is your driver. Waste of money in the end!

A nice experience with nature.
We wish to convey our sincere thanks to Sanguine Holidays for their nice arrangements for our visit to Kerala from 4th October 23 to 9th October 23. The arrangements included transportation, accommodations and one night stay on the boat. We also appreciate the services of Mr. Sumesh, the driver of our vehicle. He not only drove well but also guided us satisfactorily during our entire tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Shakti Ranjan, Thank you for your kind words and we are happy to hear that you were satisfied with our arrangements, including transportation, accommodations, and your one-night stay on the boat. We're also glad to hear that Mr. Sumesh, your driver, provided excellent service by not only driving safely but also guiding you satisfactorily throughout your tour. If you ever decide to return to Kerala or explore other destinations, we'll be here to assist you with your travel plans. Thank you for choosing Sanguine Holidays, and we look forward to serving you again in the future. Best Wishes, Nimisha Sumode

Simply Amazing!
Sanguine holidays are amazing. Nimisha handled all the arrangements as per our requirements and within our budget. She was helpful throughout, adapting as we decided to book our own accommodation. Our driver Jolly was so good. He really was an ambassador for Kerala and felt like family by the time we finished. We were sad to say goodbye! There were so many highlights - the houseboat and Munnar; simply everything! This 5 day trip was value for money and I am already planning on contacting Nimisha about booking a trip for our next visit to Kerala. Thank you so much!
Response from the operator: Dear Ms Deena Osborne , Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a glowing review about the tour. We are thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience with us and that our tour package met your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we are grateful for your recommendation of our tour package. We will continue to strive to provide the best possible service and create even better experiences for our guests in the future. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another tour in the future. Best regards, Nimisha

Value for money Kerala experience
We planned out our holidays quite late. We were planning to go via KTDC, but were disappointed as they were booked out. We had already seen reviews on Sanguine and were put at ease after talking with Nimisha and Sumod. Despite the holiday rush over the long weekend 11-16 Aug, they managed to book us into good hotels. They also arranged a driver who could converse in English- this was especially useful as you move away from the main cities. The driver was experienced and the planning of the trip from Sanguine helped us experience some of the raw experiences we were craving from Kerala. I've planned all my trips thus far, and it was my forst time following an itinerary setup by someone else, and I'm glad that I did as it was planned very very well.
Response from the operator: Dear Swati mam, Greetings and it is really happy to know that you and your family had a wonderful time throughout the Kerala tour. Thank you so much for recommending our services and are really honoured by your kind words. Hope we will meet again for another great trip. Please feel free to contact us for any kind of assistance you may require from Kerala We will be always available @ 9895246331 / 9495193749 or info@sanguineholidays.com. Once again thank you very much for giving us an opportunity to serve you.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kochi.
How much does 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin cost?
+
Prices start at $262 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kochi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kochi is not rushed.
Is 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Kochi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kochi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kochi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 nights-Budget Tour- Cochin/Munnar/Thekkady/Houseboat / Cochin start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kochi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kochi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kochi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour, Local Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour, Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour with Pickup From Cruise Ships. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kochi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kochi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
