Latest Guest Review on 31/12/2015 :Dear Jos, We got back home last night, tired but elated by a really great trip. Your organisational skills, and Rafiq’s professionalism and courtesy as a driver, were a winning combination.We wanted to let you know how happy we were with everything you did. Your own lovely farmhouse, but all your accommodation choices, and the hosts we met along the way, added up to a really special experience. We enjoyed the boat rides, the spice gardens and the backwaters, but the food, and the conversations, really made it for us. We met some fascinating people, hosts and other travellers.Please pass on again our huge appreciations to Rafiq too. He couldnt have been more reliable or careful. He was always early, always drove really safely, and was always flexible. We didnt use him in Cochin, but knew we could have done so.We met several people along the way who wanted to know who had helped us, so we will pass on your details. But please also do let us know where (TripAdvisor, i-Escape?) it would be most useful for you to have some glowing reviews? And any other way we can help you out? I imagine that up to date publicity is always helpful. We are more than happy to act as a reference if that would be helpful. All good wishes for the new year, and for more visitors in 2016 – David and Louise, UK
