Hi little Britain,

Kochi is wonderful. When there in 2013 I organised a tour with cochinmagic.com

It was a personalised tour of what I wAnted to see. I wrote to them, gave them my list and asked for their price and itinerary. They suggested I put an invitation on my roll call and I got 3 other couples to join us on a fabulous day out.

My wish list was -

Chinese fishing nets and wLk around old kochi

A spice market

A normal food/produce market

St Francis church

A toilet stop at a gorgeous little shop - which wasn't on the list but a necessacity at the time and a lovely and welcome surprise.

We then went on a houseboat lunch tour of the Kerala backwaters at Allenpy.

It was a fabulous day. When dealing with this company they are

Very efficient - abruptly so.

If you are the main organiser only you can change the details of the day.

Honest, well run.

They deal with all the payments from the other guests - you just give them the guests names and get the others to contact them.

Have a look at their website and see if it agrees with you.

This is a gorgeous part of India. Was reminded of the Jungle Book as we floated around the beautiful back waters of Kerala.

Have a great time

Many thanks

We actually did a holiday in Kovalam about 20 years ago...So we have seen the backwaters etc. I wonder if it has changed much! Looking forward to going back.
