Heritage & Cultural Walk of Alleppey (Guided Walking Tour)

Not a good use of our time

We had a great tour guide but we felt the trip was not well designed by the company. The first hour is spent at a museum that has a lot of things not related to Kerala. The second hour was supposed to be three churches and the beach at sunset but we were too tired to do all that. One church was enough for us. We had more fun stopping for local refreshments. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Kerala and we learned more from him than from seeing a bunch of churches. Our recommendation to the company- redesign this tour. The museum was good for showing the Kerala antiques but it's not worth spending an hour there. I didn't come to Kerala to see expensive crystal and china from around the world. I wanted to learn more about the history of Allepy and the coir industry which brought so much wealth to the region. What about mosques and temples? Those could have been included too. Is there an art or music scene in Allepy? That would be interesting too. After it was over, we felt it was not a good use of our time. Thankfully, our knowledgeable tour guide made up for what was lacking in the tour.

Tour content could be greatly improved

Three stars for this because the tour was not good (especially for the price) but the tour guide was awesome (extremely helpful with giving us transit and food recs, also friendly). However, the guide was not very knowledgeable/did not offer much information besides just leading us around to the major museum and some churches in Alleppey that we could have done ourselves.

God experience. Good food. Good conversation.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Abhilash. 5/5 He knows the area well, even introduced us to other locals and learned a lot not only about the food but about Alleppy , it’s history, and culture.

Amazing experience

An amazing experience. The food was fantastic and on top of that, getting to know Akhil was one of our highlights. He showed us around and taught us about Kerala and the food culture. Highly recommend the tour!!

A must when in Alleppey!

We had a fantastic tour with Akhil! Communication was great beforehand and we were delayed from a boat tour but Akhil waited for us. He listened to our preferences and taught us so much during this time. We wouldn't have experienced this food without him and this tour. Lots of food and the different chai tea was delicious l. Thank you!

Well worth it

This tour was amazing and well worth it. The food stops were incredibly well curated and the tour allows to walk through the city and explore different walkable area while eating good food and drinking delicious tea. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend it if you are exploring Alleppey.

Unique

Akhil is a great friendly guide. He also set up a cooking session the next day with students from his hospitality collage. I had a 10/10 experience. Thanks, mate.

Great experience! Special thanks to Akhil for being so kind and for the great chats that we had. We had a really great time. Thank you so much

Good tour/guide

Great guide, with a lot of knowledge about the area. Good in english and easy to talk to. Also try the food tour provided by the same company/guide

A delicious way to see Alleppey!

We really enjoyed our food tour of Alleppey with our guide Akhil. He took us to so many different food and tea stops - catering exactly to our dietary requirements (pescatarian). He was really knowledgeable about all the different food items and it was great to go to all the small local places, with someone to order the best item on the menu for you! Come hungry - there is a variety of tea, snacks, mains and sweets!

Wonderful food tour

Had a great time on the food walking tour trying many new dishes and teas. You get to visit where the locals go which is a great experience Akhil was a perfect host and really knowledgeable and friendly. He was also really helpful recommending other places to explore in Kerala

Entdeckungsfreude durch Alleppey

Ein interessanter Einblick in die Geschichte und Entwicklung von Alleppey. Höhepunkt war der Besuch einer Teppichfabrikation aus Koko-Fasern. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen.
