I did not actually have them pick me up from a cruise ship, but as an avid cruiser I am posting under this classification anyway since this would be a great shore excursion. It's the same experience whether you arrive by land or sea. My Tuk-tuk driver, Shaji, was such a great host. His knowledge of the cultural, military and religious history of the area is amazing. He even explained the meaning behind the names of places and things, and the history of the names. Not only that, he treated me to sampling of a few local foods along the way as he knows the "safe" vendors. Delicious! A very kind and helpful man and a wonderful local host.
