Hi Sharma ji, I had planned this trip to make my first marriage anniversary memorable. Have made all bookings and waiting from more than 2 months. Because of drastic increase in covid cases in Delhi during divali and formers protest I was in big tension and in confusion whether to travell or not. It was at high risk and not sure about anything till the last minute. But starting from when I book the cab to last hour of our onboard to trip you made it flawless without small error. We were safe And didn’t face single issue throughout the trip. Our driver Dharmendra Sharma was very cool and Happy person. He took care of us a lot and he was very friendly and gave many suggestions while visiting monuments. His driving is awesome. I have reached Delhi Airport back with so much of Satisfaction and Happiness. Thank you so much for your wonderful service I will cherish this forever. Keep up the good work and will refer my many friends here. I am taking many memories from here!! And a big Thanks you!!!

We were met at our hotel by our guide for the day and he was waiting for us as we arrived at the front of the hotel. The car and driver were good - the traffic was busy as it was rush hour and there is a lot of roadworks to build a new bridge between North and South Goa. Some places of interest were pointed out an route and the stops we made were interesting. We enjoyed the day, including lunch at the Spice Farm where we had a buffet including fish, chicken and vegetable curries. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. An enjoyable experience.

The best part about a trip is the people and experiences that you carry with you as memories , the half day sightseeing tour to watch sunrise at top station was one such trip. I went on a recent trip on 10th March’21 , Manoj the proprietor did the booking hassle free, arranged his best driver and guide for us. To reach the sunrise point requires a 25 min trek through unexplored places and is adventure and fun for any nature loving person. Many thanks to Manoj and his driver Suresh for a wonderful trip , full of memories. Highly recommended trip in Munnar.

We found Muziris Heritage Tours initially by doing an Internet search. The correspondence from Lijo was first class always prompt and clear. As a party of four we were cruising from Singapore to Abu Dhabi with three stops in India i.e. Cochin, God and an overnight in Mumbai. We had decided to book tours with Muziris Heritage in Cochin and one day in Mumbai thinking that we would do the second day ourselves. The tour we had booked in Cochin was not possible because of our noon arrival however Lijo had anticipated this and arranged another tour which was similar. Our initial thoughts were "this is not good" HOW WRONG WERE WE! the tour was amazing. We did do Goa independently even though Muziris did have a tour. Bad decision on our part Mumbai what can you say - our tour was absolutely fantastic with so many experiences. On our return to port we sought out Lijo and booked another tour for the following day which took us to see and experience the slum area of Mumbai. I cannot praise this company enough and would and have recommended it to others.
