Did a tour similar to this (with another tour group), unfortunately without the a Tuk Tuk ride. This is great price.

It is a fabulous day out -really unforgettable :D

OP,

 

I see that you'll be in Cochi for two days. We took an overnight tour with Stanley Wilson Tours two years ago, spending a night on a houseboat in the backwaters. It was fabulous -- I have written several postings regarding this, so just look up my postings for additional information. On our second day, we toured Cochi and went to a cooking class/lunch.

 

In addition to Stanley Wilson Tours, I recommend that you check Cochi Magic (part of Mumbai Magic), which offers a variety of local private tours and will customize a tour for you if you want to do something different. We used Deepa's company to tour Mumbai for two days and could not be happier.

 

The photo attached is of the other houseboat (there were two) early in the morning. Great memories!

Sorry, I forgot that the Tuk Tuk ride was deleted for a lower price. We paid $75 pp instead of a higher rate.

Our tour was excellent.

Thanks for your hints!
