A very nice tour with Siddharth - I did the Heritage and Cultural Walk with Siddharth as a guide and it was well worth it! He is a really good and knowledgeable guide and helped me to understand the historical, political and cultural context that I was missing during my 2 week stay in Kerala. In addition to that, he is very friendly and approachable. I recommend to ask enough of questions to take the most out of the tour!

A good intro to Trivandrum - This two-hour walk with Vijay was a good introduction and familiarisation to the sights of Trivandrum. Vijay pointed out local attractions of interest and provided commentary and history of all. This tour was conducted in the afternoon so allowed me to come back and revisit some of the attractions in the following days I was staying in Trivandrum.

Great visit of Trivandrum with an amazing guide ! - I definitely recommend this tour of Trivandrum ! We were a group of 6 French people visiting the city. Biju has been a great guide for us, super easy to understand, with a nice personnality and taking time to answer all our questions. He is very knowledgeable, with an acute view of his country. We walked around the neighborhood having a look at the museum, library, different churches/temples, and the market. Do not hesitate.

Enjoyable couple of hours walk learning about history and everyday life - I’d already walked around the temple area in a previous visit but it was good to learn more about the history and culture. Naveen was a great guide, very informative and got us into a good position for the temple ceremony he took us to.

What a wonderful young man - What a wonderful young man! Bijou was both knowledgeable, charming and just someone who clearly exudes passion for what he does. Instructions for meeting were clear. A very friendly approach at the start put us at immediate ease. Patient, clear, precise and humanistic would be qualities we’d add. He walks you around various sites and explains the history, answers questions with diplomacy and great thought. Highlights include the temple, the market and museum but a clear highlight was meeting Bijou too. Thanks so much and we highly recommend going on this walking tour.

Waste of money and time - It was memorable loss of money and time. It was not walking cultural tour. It was Highway walking without any feel of city.

Waste of money and time - Walking tours are supposed to be taken the areas of cultural treasures like one in Ahmedabad.. This tour walks on Highway with nothing to know. People conducting such tours should learn what is expected from them. Our money and time was total waste.

thumbs down - We booked a tour at 0900. They asked me for whatsapp number and telephone number, which i gave. At 2300 the evening before, they cancelled for "personal" reasons. The message was send only via tripadvisor, so we didnt get it. What a waste of (taxi) time, while they had my phone number and whatsapp number. It seems that more people have this experience with them...
