Very relaxing day on the...

Very relaxing day on the backwaters. The food was excellent. Transport to and from the hotel was very easy.

Top notch Experience

It was a wonderful trip nicely done by Iris Holiday. This is the second time but they maintain their standard. Thanks a lot Iris Holiday

Kochi Backwaters

This was an amazing tour organized by the company. The drive Mr Saju was very helpful and accommodated us in all our request. Saju was careful in taking us to place which were comfortable and accessible to me with a walking stick. The food on the boat was amazing. The also helped us with the food request for kids. The back water tour is a definate recommendation for anyone visiting kochi.

Beautiful tour!

Great tour and amazing way to see the backwaters! The tour and pick-up/drop-off were very easy. The staff was great and very friendly. The food was fresh and delicious, easy to eat both vegetarian and non-vegetarian and there were many different options for differing tastes. I think a day tour is the perfect amount of time to spend on the backwaters. I'd highly recommend.

Excellent Houseboat Experience

We had an excellent time. The driver picked us up ahead of time from our Kochi hotel. He was very informative and fun to talk to. Then the houseboat was amazing - the crew really took care of us. Johnny and his staff paid attention to every single detail. I also really liked how they were attentive, but still gave us our space to enjoy the experience ourselves. The cook was fantastic - they stopped by a fresh seafood hut and we purchased fresh crabs and prawns which he cooked up fresh for us - OMG! You have to do this! They also kicked things off with fresh coconut juice in the coconut - YUM! The captain was very skilled and we didn’t feel a single wave - very smooth ride. The scenery was incredible and the entire ride so relaxing. Good tip - the boat is BYOB if you’d like to avoid paying extra for alcohol so stop by a beverage shop beforehand!

3 days tour in kerala

I wanted to cover Trivendrum, Varkala, Alleppy, and Kochi in a very short time. It was nicely planned by (Saranya) from (Iris Holidays). It was a bit hectic as too many places in so less time but our Driver (Mr. Lal) was very active and experienced in helping us in the trip. He also was a guide in the tour. He is very polite and friendly. We had a great time. We visited Sri Padmanabhswamy temple, Varkala beach, Alleppy Houseboat and Kochi tour. It was all very enjoyable and private for us. Our stay was also at a 4 star hotel. Overall it was very good planning

Kerala Backwaters Houseboat Tour 13th April 2019

Everything went very well. Our driver was on time and a good driver. The houseboat was clean and comfortable. Food was ver good. The trip was very nice. The staff were very pleasant.

Special experience

コチ到着後、ネットでこのツアーを見つけコンタクトを取りました。 迅速な対応で、翌日には私達の要望通りのキレイで清潔なハウスボートを用意してくれ、ランチもスナックもおいしかったです。スタッフの方も親切でした。 ホテル送迎付きで、良心的な値段で、満足です。 We found this tour through the internet, and told our requests. They immediately booked a houseboat which is clean and beautiful and it was exactly we looked for. Lunch and snack specially cooked for us on the boat are very tasty. All staffs were nice to us. We are satisfied with this day trip.

BEST EXPERIENCE in KERALA

We spoke to many people before booking a houseboat in Kumarakom or Alleyppey and they mentioned it was miserable. We wanted to do our research before because we heard it was a hit-or-miss! We experienced the outmost opposite! BE SURE TO BOOK IRIS. We had an AMAZING peaceful time on the IRIS - booked houseboat. Firstly, Shiji booked our houseboat with only 24 hours notice. Quickly reserved our spot and payment was done easily through the link sent. We met with our driver sharp at 8am (from the hotel) and had a peaceful drive to Kumarakom. Once we arrived, we learned we had the whole boat to ourselves! We enjoyed the scenic views, played some old school Bollywood loudly and enjoyed ourselves. We wish we did an overnight stay for New Years! Our driver was sweet and super accommodating with whatever we wanted! He even stopped by to grab some cold beer, since we forgot our own! It surely made our experience! The food was great and appetizing (finger-licking good!!) OVERALL, an experience to remember!

Munnar -Allepey 4 days tour review

This is Supreet from bangalore .We went for munnar -allepey combination for 4 days and had a splendid experience Hotel was a 3 star hotel as i prefered not to go for a luxurious hotel, rather focused on places to visit . but was clean and well maintained . Hotel had a good restaurant with decent food choices prepared. Rates for night food was reasonable Driver assigned was Jude . he was punctual (so were we :) ), co-operative and friendly . he did talk about culture and and the people lifestyle during the journey . we had a private cab to roam around the city . Allepey housboat was an amazing experience , the first time experience which turned out to be memorable food in the houseboat was very delicious . and freshly cooked items . and more than sufficient quantity . Iternary was nicely planned . places like tea meuseum, waterfalls, beach, houseboat, chinese net were some good combination of variety they added to iternery . this tour was planned by Shiji was perfect for 4 days . i would recommend this iternary to someone who needs to spend a spectacular time in kerala for 3-4 days . thing to note here is many people have misconception about the safetly due to floods that happened recently , i must tell now most of the things are recovered and it is safe to visit now .

Kerala

A pleasure trip with full of excitement and pleasure experience. thanks to our planner, handy cab driver and other staff.

Bästa dagen i Indien

Rofyllt och vackert. Trevlig personal. Rent. Vår båt hette Sunbird Cruise Välkomnades med varsin kokosnöt och sedan en tur på båten och dess faciliteter. Kort efter avfärd stannade vi i lite fiskmarknad och köpte det (extra) som vi ville äta. Personalen grillade fisk, räkor mm till efterrätt fanns färska frukter. Otrolig skön och avslappnade dag. Rekommenderas starkt!
