Perfect driver / perfect tour guide - We had the pleasure of having Aaru as our guide during our visit to Kochi and Alappuzha, and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Aaru was very welcoming and friendly with us. He adapted to our needs and interests, making every moment of the trip both informative and enjoyable.
In Kochi, Aaru showed us the hidden gems of the city, sharing local anecdotes and taking us to authentic places we would never have discovered on our own.
During our time in Alappuzha, he perfectly organized our visit to the famous backwaters, ensuring that we had a peaceful and memorable experience.
If you are looking for a guide who is professional, attentive and passionate about his country, we highly recommend Aaru. He truly made our stay in Kerala a memorable adventure. Thank you, Aaru!

Kind, honest and helpful - Aaru was the kindest person! He truly went above and beyond, not only did he take us on an excellent tour, he also helped us with other tasks that we asked about such as a place for a hair cut and medicine. If you want a tour with an honest man, Aaru is your guy!

Fort Kochi Tuk Tuk ride - If u really want to explore the nooks and corners of fort kochin , I would suggest you to take tuk tuk from Aaru. The entire trip to fort Cochin was adventurous and funny with the help of aaru .

Great Guide - We met Aaru when shortly after arriving in Fort Cochi. We had some great trips with him before traveling around the rest of Kerala. On our return to Fort Coch we grabbed him again. Fantastic guide. Really knowledgeable, Aaru will safely and reliably take you off the tourist trail, so that you get to see some amazing places. Prepare for lots of laughter! I've already been back in touch to hook him up with family members keen to visit Kerala.

Aaru is one of a kind - the only proper way to see Kerala! - Aaru was the beat tour guide turned friend I have ever had. He made my sister and Iās Kerala trip absolutely amazing. He is a one of a kind gentleman and knows how to read the room of what we wanted. He made sure that we were comfortable and happy the entire day. I had a cough and he went above and beyond to not only offer but stop to get natural medicine to help me. He knows everyone in town and with good reason. He is so incredibly likeable, warm hearted, fun, adventurous, kind, smart, charming and easy to be around. It felt like we had known eachother for years. He is incredibly emotionally intelligent and skipped all parts that didnāt interest me and instead was flexible and customized the tour to focus on parts that I loved. I would reccomend him 10/10 to anyone looking to get a real taste of Kerela like never before. I wish I could take him everywhere on my trips!!

Some interesting parts, but watch out for the unnecessary 'cousin's carpet shop' etc ... - Aaru was punctual and there were bits of the tour that my husband and I really enjoyed: seeing local life: the making of pappadums from scratch, the making of sambol spices and visiting an old wash room/service. We also visited the Kerala Folklore museum which was interesting. However, in the afternoon Aaru started to take us to places where it was all about getting us to buy things: e.g. his cousin's carpet shop, and then a spa for Ayurvedic massage which we hadn't asked for and didn't want. He declined to take us to places that we would have liked to have seen: e.g. palace and Jewish quarters and once it became clear that we were less than happy, he reported that 'his time was up' and we left him in the centre of the Kochi Fort. Not the best, and I would not really recommend him.
