We chose this trip based on the few excellent reviews on this site and we were not disappointed. It was a wonderful way to explore Kochin with the limited time off a cruise voyage. Although hot, the cycling was manageable and we also enjoyed the boat ride. Water was provided, but we brought our own snacks. Thank you so much for a wonderful excursion.

Did this tour in November 2017. Group was small (3 people total) and well organized. Bikes were of good quality and well maintained. What made this tour so memorable is that we were truly off the beaten path - saw no other tourists. It was a highlight of our cruise. Highly recommend.

Deben and his group gave us the best excursion experience of our entire cruise! The bicycles were top quality Scott, carbon frame, full suspension, and disk brakes. The tour was about 15 miles total with a break to canoe the backwaters in the middle. We got a taste of local village life as well as making a stop to visit the canoe-maker's shop. The knowledge of the tour leaders was interesting. The views were phenomenal, and the culture was amazing. I can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was. Thank you for such a great time in Cochin!!!
Cycling the Backwaters - great way to experiencMay 14, 2016

As we had previously spent 4 days in Kerala, we were looking for something different during our cruise stopover in Cochin. The cycling excursion was excellent! Even though it was 35C and very humid, the bike ride was not hard, the bikes were great and our guide (Dobbin) took us through the interesting local backwaters. It is a great way to see local life in Kerala. About the half way point in the ride, we loaded the bikes onto a canoe for a ride on the waters which was a nice break and super experience. All in all, I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone who is in reasonable shape and comfortable on a bike.
