Trip buggy's service was pretty good, the communication was prompt and reliable. From airport pick-up to returning to the hotel, the guide and driver Jithin provided thoughtful and enthusiastic service. The arrangements along the way were quite reassuring, and I would recommend this Cochin backwater cruise!
