Almost Perfect!!
This was an amazing experience and almost definitely put down to the expertise and professionalism of Showkat Wani. He secured some fantastic hotels, which at prices I could not even get so, which was a massive bonus. We also wanted to slightly amend the itinerary, which again was no problem whatsoever. The driver secured was fantastic, although he didn’t talk very much,,which wasn’t a problem and the vehicle was brand new. I would highly recommend using this company. especially if you are travelling from abroad like we were from the UK. The only advice I would give is if you are adverse to spicy food then do not do the Package for dinner in the evenings as we found Keralan food to be very very spicy and western selection most non-existent covered in the prepaid buffet dinner. Mr Showkat Wani was a pleasure to deal with at all times, and even when we had some demanding requests, he always delivered with a smile, a true professional who clearly knows how to deliver world-class service. I was most impressed with the Radio WhatsApp group chat where we were constantly kept up-to-date on a daily basis of our itinerary, and also regularly asked about experience, and if anything else was needed. Overall summary, a great experience for my family organised by this company and highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Jazzy Greetings From Holiday Tours and Travels!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that your Kerala trip was seamless, enjoyable, and memorable. Showkat Wani and our team will be delighted to hear your kind words — your feedback about the itinerary, driver, and hotels means a lot. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back for another incredible journey!

8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kochi.
How much does 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam cost?
+
Prices start at $455 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 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kochi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam?
+
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 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam?
+
Around 3 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8-Day Kerala Tour – Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey & Kovalam 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, Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour with Pickup From Cruise Ships, Kochi Tuk-Tuk Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Ship Pickup. 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.
