Cochin personal service! - Excellent driver. Brand new car, very informative and helpful. Really nice guy. Covered all the highlights of Cochin at a fraction of the price of our cruise providers. Nothing too much trouble and after the old town tour we did the new town and then on to Back waters for a boat ride. Rashee waited for us whilst enjoyed that experience. Rashee was our personal driver for a fantastic day in the city

Very friendly, flexible and helpful driver - I took this tour on my first day in Kochi. What I liked about this tour is that the driver/guide (Shaheer) was so flexible that you can customize the tour almost the way you like it. You can add the excursions that you prefer and choose to spend more/less time on the locations visited as you prefer. During the tour, you feel safe from scams as the driver will give you honest advice before you get off to your next point. I do recommend this tour to everybody visiting Kochi.
