Goa & Cochin visits. - Enjoyed two tours with this company on our recent cruise. Well organised and very good pricing compared to comparable tours with the cruise company. Especially the Kerala houseboat tour. Long drives necessary to see some places but that was unavoidable. Recommended!

Excellent private tours - We booked 3 private tours direct with Lijo jose for the port of Cochin , Goa and Mumbai as this was our first visit to India. The tours in each city was excellent the guide and driver were on time. The guides very knowledgable and provided us with options about what we wanted to see. This tour is excellent if you want a personal guide and a very flexible programme suited to you. The tour was great value when compared to the same tour offered by the cruise. I have no hesitation in recommending this company. A very enjoyable and informative day.

Cruise ship excursions India - We booked with Lijo’s Muziris Day Tours for our stops in Cochin, Goa and Mumbai, total of 4 days. All 4 days were superb. They met us on the dock each time, metres from the gangway. Comfortable air conditioned mini buses with top drivers. Our guides were all fantastic and spoke very good English - special mention to Kheera in Mumbai who was just delightful (see photo). I highly recommend this company for great value and a great experience. Thanks Lijo for a great time.

Cochin backwaters, Goa & Mumbai - Cochin backwaters tour was great , the journey to the houseboat went fast as it was great seeing the local way of life along the way. The houseboat was comfortable & provided with a lovely local lunch, I loved the way the group was small & we could freely move around. Our guide Jo was great very enthusiastic & informative . Goa was also very interesting & included a lunch in the spice plantation our time was limited due to a problem with other guests.
Mumbai we really enjoyed. Our guide was Herma (shortened version)she did a great job at keeping us all together as we had a few wanderers! She spoke good english & was very informative. We loved seeing the lunch box service & Laundry. We met Lijo in all 3 places and all in all , I would say doing these tours is an ideal stress free way of seeing India . Thank you Lijo & all your guides & drivers

Tours in Cochin, Magalore, Goa and Mumbai tours - Just returned from celebrity cruise and advise future cruise passenger when looking for excursions to visit in India, book with Lijo Jose who is excellent and can highly recommend.
Unbelievable that he ensures he is on every tour outside the ship terminal ensuring all his people booked are well cared for.
There was around 10 people booked on each trip and the guides were very knowledgeable . The lovely guy Nelson on the Magalore tour
Touched our hearts with singing us an Elvis song and I have to say he was the best guide for us throughout even though I could not fault the others.
The price of the tours are a fraction of the ship tours and better.
Thank you Lijo Jose for the great experience in India

Tours in Mumbai, goa and Cochin - Just returned from a celebrity cruise and took three tours booked through Lijo online before we travelled. The first was Mumbai where our guide Mondy took us to temples, Ghanaian House, Malabar hill, train ride, Dhobi Ghat , Taj Mahal palace hotel and for lunch in a lovely restaurant , helpful guide and fab tour . In Goa, again Lijo met us and ensured we found our guide we saw temples, churches, markets and spice plantation where we had a meal and Indian dancing- a beautiful place and well worth the trip. In Cochin Lijo met us and introduced us to our guide, although the drive was fairly long to get to alleppey backwaters it was an interesting one and the houseboat tour was lovely with a fantastic lunch cooked fresh for us.
I cannot fault any of the tours and can highly recommend Lijo 😃😎

Very good tour - We booked this tour through Lijo as a shore excursion during our stay in Mumbai. Lijo was very responsive and flexible in responding to our emails. We were met at the pier just outside Imigration and directed to our waiting car. As it turned out, we were given a private tour at the same price to what we expected to pay for a small group tour.
The tour itself was well conducted and very informative. Our guide took us on a fun train ride to the massive outside laundry where our car was again waiting. Then followed a visit to a beautiful temple and the Ghana Museum and a few other fascinating sites. . At this and other locations our guide got us in to the buildings and left us to do the tour on our own. This was fine, but just a little more explanation of the important exhibits would have been helpful. Nevertheless, she was always happy to answer our questions.
All in all we had a great tour and will definitely be booking our future tours in India through Lijo.
