Tour was very poor. the areas for local industry they tour were so filthy that I have been turned off anything Indian manufactured. The river cruise was just around the local area and the food offered was not appealing. Better keep your money and look at Sri Lanka

We were met by a bus at the cruise terminal and left around 9:00. We then drove through the countryside to Alappuzha, which took about an hour and 45 mins, and where we then embarked onto a houseboat. The extremely comfortable houseboat, provided a relaxed tour of the idyllic Kerala back waters and lakes, which lasted almost 3 hours. Towards the end of the cruise, the crew provided a delicious freshly cooked traditional Indian buffet lunch, together with drinks. After disembarking, we then drove back towards Fort Cochin, where we first stopped at the famous Chinese fishermen’s nets for a photo stop. We then continued on to the Matancherry/Dutch Palace, where there was time for either a quick visit, or shopping opportunities at the roadside stalls. We returned to the cruise terminal just before 17:00. Altogether a great value tour, a bit different and more relaxing than a normal land tour.
This tour in Kochi is organized by Muziris Heritage - Day Tours
