I had the pleasure of joining a tour of Trivandrum with guide Hareesh Das, and it was a fantastic experience! I learned so many interesting facts about the city and its landmarks, all shared in an engaging way. Hareesh was an excellent guide – he is a really really nice guy! which made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover Trivandrum!

5 out of 5 stars

We booked this tour while staying in Kovalam because we wanted to visit the temple ij Trivandrum while also learning a bit about Hinduism rituals and history. Sid was great as he took us through 9 temples very different from each other while explaining the rituals. I’d definitely recommend the tour - remember shorts are not allowed even for men

5 out of 5 stars

The tour was really nice and took us to some of the beautiful temples in Trivandrum - including a very spectacular one (oldest and richest in India). Our guide Suresh was great, very kind and helpful, explaining the history and also offering to take photos of us where it was allowed. The price is really decent for this rich experience!

Great to visit temples when they were open & very active - our tour began at 5pm. Siddharth was a friendly, helpful and informative guide . All the temples we visited were different and very interesting. I thoroughly recommend this tour .

5 out of 5 stars

Although I don't speak English well, I was given opportunities that I would never have been able to experience on my own. It was a valuable experience that I would not have had if I had traveled alone relying on a guidebook.
