Great day trip with hiking and delicious food - We had a wonderful day trip with Stanley Wilson, and our driver Firoez. Everything was smooth and. It started with an early morning pickup from our hotel, then we stopped for a delicious breakfast along the way and did a (surprisingly, but enjoyably) challenging hike through the tea fields with a local guide. The hike was stunning and had fabulous views. After the hike, we had a great lunch at a restaurant in the mountains, made stops at the Lockhart Tea Factory and the Spice Garden (for ayurvedic plants), then made the trip home. It is a LOT of driving for one day (if you can, I'd recommend at least 1 night in Munnar, maybe 2), but Firoez was very attentive and super friendly. We felt like we were in great hands.

Refreshing nature walk and cultural leaning - I went on the Munnar tea plantation trekking tour, and it was a fantastic experience! Ubaid, our driver, was punctual, reliable, and incredibly kind. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey and gave us some great recommendations for breakfast and lunch. Thanks to him, we got to try some delicious Munnar dishes that we might have missed otherwise. His driving skills were impressive, navigating the winding roads with ease, which made the long drive relaxing and enjoyable. Ramish, our trekking guide, was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. He shared so much interesting information about indigenous plants, explaining how they’re used for food and medicine, and even pointed out animal footprints along the way. He had an amazing grasp of the history of the tea plantations and how tea is farmed and processed, which added so much depth to the experience. Ramish also kept the pace just right and always made sure we were having a good time. The tour itself was just as described – from the scenic drive with waterfall stops to the trek through the tea hills, free delicious breakfast and luch, and the visit to the tea factory. Everything was well-organized, and Ubaid and Ramish went above and beyond to make it enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kochi.

A trip of a lifetime seeing hills, a royal palace and white sandy beaches of the Malabar coast - Stanley organised for us our capable driver Ubaid and recommended modifications to our route of Kochi, Ooty, Mysore then Kannur and spending 2 nights in each location. We were able to experience seeing wild elephants while driving through Mudumalai and Bandipur Tiger Reserves. It was a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend our driver Ubaid and Stanley for his expertise and insight into the sights of Kerala.

Amazing 2-day trip to Munnar with Wilson Tours - I had an amazing 2-day trip to Munnar which was organised by Stanley of Wilson tours. He helped me plan the tour and I am so happy that I opted for the 2-day tour instead of one. I was picked up by my host Firos. Firos was so knowledgable and helpful throughout. We had great discussion during the 4,5 hour drive to Munnar. His driving is also very considerate and felt safe throughout the journey. He was able to explain everything I saw on the way. I enjoyed the breaks at the waterfalls for a few good pictures. The spice garden was a nice walk and bought a few spices for home. Highlight of the day was the Lockheart tea factory. I learned so much about tea process and appreciate tea so much more. It also had a fabulous viewpoint for great pictures. The breakfast and lunch options provided by Firos were great. Had my favourite dosas in the morning and ate my first chicken biryani and fish curry. The hotel David' regency was also excellent. Robbie and his team made sure I had everything I needed. Rooms were clean and spacious. Had some tea on arrival. Dinner and breakfast was amazing. They have such good cooks. I loved the egg massala with parothi for dinner and dosas and banana pancake in the morning. The hotel was also very centrally located so it was easy to explore Munnar. 2Nd day was the half day trek through the tea plantation. It was proposed to do it on the first day, however it was very foggy and raining on arrival. Ramesh, my trekking guide, advised me to plan it on the 2nd day in the morning. I was so happy when I woke up with a clear sky and sunny forecast. The half day trek with Ramesh has been my highlight lf India. Ramesh was sucha great guide and had a perfect route of approx. 12km in 4 hours. Some short sections were a bit challenging but most of the trek was very convenient and had plenty of time to enjoy the amazing green surrounding with clear blue sky. Ramesh brought some lunvh for me at the highest point while enjoying the amazing view. Ramesh explained alot about the local life, flora and fauna and tea of course. The trek was amazing. I Would recommend everyone to plan at least a 2-day trip to Munnar with Wilson Tour. They had made my trip very very special.

Incredible day in Munnar - We had the most incredible day travelling to Munnar and highly recommend this tour if you are short on time in Kerala - it is worth the long drive! Our driver Ubaid was great and made the experience so seamless. The highlight was our hike through the tea fields (around 3 hours, wear comfortable walking shoes) with our guide Ramesh, who was so knowledgeable and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Thanks so much to both of them and Wilson Tours for an amazing day!

Great day trip to Munnar - This one day trip itinerary is well planned and designed. Everything is planned out so you only have to worry about having fun. Driver is very friendly. Hike around the Munnar plantations is about 3h long but, if you are tired at that point, can talk to the guide and make it shorter for you.

Munnar an amazing experience - Stanley Wilson tours organised a superb itinerary to Munnar with accommodation, meals and all excursions. Starting from Kochi our driver Ubaid picked us up. Ubaid is an amazing young man, he is caring, calm, assured and a wonderful driver. He drove safely at all times, he gave us both confidence in the busy traffic you see on Keralan roads. We stopped for a tea and snack at a small roadside cafe which was very nice. On to the waterfall and a comfort break. Ubaid explained interesting facts about sights along our journey, it was lovely talking to him. We paid a visit to a smaller waterfall and then the Spice garden before arriving in Munnar. After checking in we had time to explore the town before dinner. Dinner was plentiful and very tasty, thanks to Pandiyan and Robin,your attention to detail and your care was very much appreciated. After a goodnights sleep and a great breakfast. Our guide Ramesh, took us on a fantastic tour of the tea gardens, explaining everything you need to know about tea, the plantation and the people employed to work there. The walk through the vast plantation was spectacular, the scenery is breathtaking, apart from tea bushes, we met tea plantation workers, saw amazing wildlife, birds, flowers, goats and a Bull Elephant. We were very lucky to see the Elephant!! In the afternoon Ubaid took us to visit the Tea factory. For something we drink regularly it was fascinating to see the journey from the tea leaf picked in the plantation to the finished article ready to be shipped to the companies who package & sell us tea at home. After an early dinner we had another great nights sleep in preparation for our early trek to see the sunrise. Ramesh was our guide and what a treat we had. Walking through the countryside in darkness just our torches and the stars to light our way we made it to the summit, there we sat on a rock for the best view of the sunrise. It was amazing, the views were far reaching and spectacular. The descent was just as lovely, walking through the tea garden. We were again lucky to see a very large bison on our journey through the plantation. The team Stanley has for this excursion is top class. We cannot recommend this trip more highly. Thankyou for a really memorable experience

Amazing trip from start to finish - Very memorable experience. Lots of amazing pictures, a great hike, and a professional and engaging guide in Ubaid. The day flew by and each stop along the way is great in its own right with the highlight being the hike.

Wonderful Green Day Magic Tour Experience with Ubaid and Ramesh! - We had an incredible experience with Green Day Magic Tour to Munnar, and I want to give a special shoutout to Ubaid, our driver, and Ramesh, our guide. Ubaid was exceptionally professional, friendly, and an excellent driver. He ensured our safety throughout the journey, even while driving through heavy rain. He chose a fantastic spot for breakfast on the way, which set the tone for the rest of our day. Ubaid also took us to a beautiful tea plantation hike where Ramesh, our guide, took over. Ramesh was fantastic! He guided us through the tea plantation hike with great knowledge and enthusiasm, making the experience unforgettable. After the hike, Ubaid took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch, followed by visits to a tea factory and an Ayurvedic garden. Despite the rainy weather, Ubaid’s careful driving and cheerful demeanor made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. By the end of the day, we were dropped back at our hotel safe and sound, feeling completely satisfied with the tour. Thank you, Green Day Magic Tour, Ubaid, and Ramesh, for a well-organized, memorable experience! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Munnar.

Wilson tours stands for serious hospitality. - Wilson tours provided us from several trips and tips. And honestly, not one fell short. Their advice is honest, prices are fair, but more importantly their hospitality Levvel is of the best. And than in particular Ubaid. Our driver for 3 days (from Kochi tot Munnar and Munnar to madurai) who came with nice tips along the way for short visits and nice food. His driving skills were exceptional. He is a beacon of peace in the madnes of the Indian traffic. We were very happy to ran into this agency.
