We were on a business trip to India with only one free day which was thankfully in Cochin. My Joyce offered a half day tuk tuk tour which sounds just the ticket after a week of taxis, hotels and airports. My Joyce and his driver are super friendly, very knowledgeable and relaxed. his recommendation of lunch at the Tissin hotel was spot on and we had we enjoyed the best meal so far in India. Thanks Mr Joyce for making our visit so memorable.

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 took two very different tours with Lijo: Jewish Heritage of Kochi and a backwater cruise in Alleppey. Lijo was amazing: knowledgeable, pleasant, sensitive to all needs, enthusiastic no matter the subject. Highly highly recommend him.

We took the tour with Bala. It was really nice since it included all the things we like the most: nice bicycle ride across the city, history lesson, Indian food and a great guide that put it all together! We recommend to take this tour on the first days in Kochi since it is an excellent way to know the city, understand its culture and diversity, and taking recommendations from the guide for later!

My wife and I encountered Joyce on a houseboat cruise boat on the Kerala backwaters. Joyce was very clear and straightforward in his explanations of Kerala and its history, and given his 17 years of tour experience, had answers to all of our questions. We liked Joyce so much we hired him for an additional day to tour us around Cochin to see several sights (beach resort, Maharaja Palace, heritage museum, Fort Kochi, etc). Joyce was very flexible in adapting the tour so we could see what we wanted (more historical sites than massages or resorts), and he arrived early and catered completely to our needs. Will recommend Joyce to any of our friends that visit Kerala.
