Fabulous trip organised by Asish
Beautifully organized 7-day Kerala trip curated by Mr. Asish and his travel company, Travel Saga, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Our journey began in Munnar, a breathtaking hill station surrounded by lush tea gardens, rolling hills, and misty valleys. The calm and scenic beauty instantly set the tone for a relaxing holiday. From Munnar, we continued to Thekkady, home to the famous Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. The spice plantations, serene boat ride through the lake, and refreshing atmosphere made it a highlight of our trip. Next, we traveled to Kumarakom, a peaceful backwater destination where we enjoyed the charm of houseboats, the beauty of Vembanad Lake, and the laid-back village vibes. Our final stop was Poovar, a hidden gem where golden beaches meet tranquil backwaters. The floating cottages and the stunning sunset views offered the perfect ending to our journey. Throughout the trip, every arrangement — from accommodations and transportation to local experiences — was seamless and thoughtfully planned by Mr. Asish. He was always just a phone call away for any assistance or queries, responding quickly and helpfully every time. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm nature made the entire experience stress-free and memorable. If you’re looking to explore Kerala or anywhere else in India, I highly recommend Mr. Asish and Travel Saga. They truly deliver a travel experience that’s both personalized and unforgettable.

Kerala Tour
Tour was good, guide/driver was very good and added to the tour other points of interest. Car was suitable for the tour with good AC. The hotels were of a good standard although some were not on the itinerary as booked. Airport pick up did not go well 2 hour wait with calls to the provider as our contact was not responding, this was not good as all pick up details were provided.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Richard , Thank you for choosing to travel with us and for the wonderful review . Regards, Chithra Nair

8-day Kerala Driving Trip with Umesh Sashidharan
Thanks to a couple of Tripadvisor reviewers, I found Mr. Umesh Sashidharan's number (+91-8075271669) when I was looking for a reliable car and responsible driver for the trip. We were planning to visit Thiruvananthapuram - Alleppey - Thekkady - Munnar - Kochi and were in need of a person who can not only drive us responsibly but also be sort of a guide for local places. Umesh is a wonderful person for everything above. We chatted a few times over the phone a few times (it's hard to do such dealing sitting in the US). Nevertheless, he worked out the whole trip with me sending pictures of his car (Ertiga), cost and everything. We stayed in touch (booked his service a few months in advance) and was there at the airport to receive us. We were traveling as a family (2 girls) and the whole trip was very satisfying thanks to his safe driving (though he made sure that we reach in time for various events). We had great conversations about Kerala history, traditions, & life in general but at the same time he gave us privacy as well. He has good knowledge about the local places and took us to good eating places and events. My family highly recommends availing his services. I am happy to answer any question you may have and consider me his fan!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to share your experience With Travel Saga ... We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your brief stay and had the opportunity to explore Kerala with us . We appreciate your kind recommendation and look forward to welcoming you and your family back for a more extended holidays in the future. It would be our pleasure to ensure that your next visit is even more memorable. Warm regards, Chithra Nair

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kochi.
How much does Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat cost?
+
Prices start at $700 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 Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat 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 Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kochi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat?
+
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 Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat 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 Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat?
+
Around 4 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 Kerala premium private tour for 7 nights 8 days with houseboat 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.
