    Worst Experience by Agent Amit

    we were scammed by one of the agent called Amit and his number is 9990688577, and we dont have any other contacts to report the issue so we dropped an email to Anurag Travels and then this agent is asking for a settlement of 4k for 12.5k of the money they took to book a boat for us. If anyone seeing this please do reply to your email. The way the agent talks and replys to our queries is very inappropriate. And no one responds to the email from Travels, if anyone responds to my email we can talk so no othet tourists can face issue that we have faced.

    Wonderful Kerala tour!

    This was really a wonderful experience. We (to grown up ladies) were taken so good care of all the way. We got a nice SUV with an experienced driver - Salel. Salel fixed everything and was so friendly and helpful. Really nice hotels with excellent service, clean rooms and pools, and nice food. Lots of interesting activities and spectacular views. Quite a lot of driving and "Indian traffic". It would have been nice to get some more information about hotels and unabigious information about the activities and excursions before we arrived.

    Wonderful tour of Kerala

    Wonderful trip, we saw so much and everything was perfect . Our driver Raj was lovely, always early and very accomodating with our requests to add little things to the trip. The hotels and the food were all amazing. Our contact Gaurav in Cochin was regularly checking that we were enjoying ourselves and seeing if we needed anything. He arranged the houseboat at Alleppey for us at our request. This was an unforgettable trip and I would wholeheartedly recommend this company.

    Car Rental Service

    We had a road trip in Kerala driving roughly 1400km starting from Kochi, covering Thekkady, Munnar, Alleppey, Kovalam, Kanyakumari. In case you are planning to visit Kerala, I would highly recommend Mr. Umesh Sashidharan who drove us carefully throughout our journey, highly experienced and thorough gentleman, you can reach him on below number +91-8075271669.

    Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kochi.

    How much does Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $589 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 Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour) 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 Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 194 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kochi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour) 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 Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour)?

    +

    Around 68 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 Best of Kerala Tour (Exclusive Private tour) 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.
